Continue ReadingWe unveil the full 2026 class rankings with 145 players.
We only had 10 players officially ranked at the start of the HS season with 33 players on a watch list.
We added 102 players from the AIA and the prep world.
We usually have around only 100 ranked after their freshman season with many more to be discovered from this class but since this class was so good to start off with, I have found more to rank and talk about.
Our goal at PrepHoopsAZ is to try and recognize anyone who may play college basketball. We will keep searching for new players in preseason camps/events/leagues/Prep Hoops Circuit, Arizona Top-250 EXPO, my Southwest Basketball Camp and during the AIA/CAA/Grind Session seasons.
Notes:
1. If you don’t know by now, this freshman class is one of the better to start off with ever. On top of that, most are starting in the AIA led by Kaden House Kaden House 6'3" | CG Desert Mountain | 2026 State AZ . It will obviously be up to them to continue to put in the work and hopefully get recognized and possibly be nationally ranked.
2. Cameron Holmes Cameron Holmes 6'5" | SF Millennium | 2026 State AZ and Elijah Williams Elijah Williams 6'5" | SF Brother Rice | 2026 State MI are a part of the prestigious Team USA.
3. We currently have a pretty good size in the class with 28 players being listed at 6’5 or taller. We all know more will eventually surpass that when they grow.
4. Only three of the top-20 ranked are point guards. Meaning Mason Magee Mason Magee 6'0" | PG Basha | 2026 State AZ , Kalek House Kalek House 6'2" | CG Desert Mountain | 2026 State AZ (pictured) and TJ Harris TJ Harris 6'0" | PG Paradise Honors | 2026 State AZ are really good.
5. The six biggest players in the class currently are Cameron Williams Cameron Williams 6'10" | PF St. Mary's | 2026 State AZ , Elijah Summers-Livingston Elijah Summers-Livingston 6'7" | PF Basha | 2026 State AZ , Nico Wright Nico Wright 6'9" | PF Ben Franklin | 2026 State AZ , Cristian Simmons Cristian Simmons 6'8" | PF Sunnyslope | 2026 State AZ , Ethan Sobik Ethan Sobik 6'7" | C Notre Dame Prep | 2026 State AZ and Jack Raslavsky Jack Raslavsky 6'7" | C Basha | 2026 State AZ .
5. The breakdown of the 145 players is 42 PG’s, 18 SG’s, 24 CG’s, 32 SF’s, 23 PF’s and only 6 C’s.
