Multiple high school events will be taking place in the summer months including the IBCA Top 100 workout, the Charlie Hughes Showcase, plus multiple summer leagues. Prep Hoops Indiana will be out in full force all month watching multiple high schools prospects across the board. Let’s go ahead and take a look at four 2026 SGs that are on my watch list for the summer.
If you have not by now, it time to get to know who Braylen Langley Braylen Langley 6’9″ | SG Evansville Reitz | 2026 State IN is because he makes a strong case as the best overall shooting guard in the in-state class of 2026. Langley, who runs with Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB, is one of more highly touted underclassman we have in the state and has really taken the southern portion of the state by storm. He is an impressive physical prospect for his potion that is skilled, smooth, highly athletic, and can play above the rim. He already has many high major schools gaining interest in him, but it will be sooner than later before he starts getting those offers.
Highlights
At this point in time, Kasen Daegar has established himself as as one of the top scoring guards in the Indiana high school class of 2026. He plays with a high IQ and can either score at the rim and especially knock down the long ball well. He started to breakout during his sophomore year at Silver Creek and has been really good on a talented Wildcat Select 16U team on the 3SSB circuit averaging around 10.0 point per game. When it comes to upside as a shooting guard in the 2026 class, I really like Daeger’s potential.
Highlights
A guy that is feel is highly under-the-radar in the Indiana high school class of 2026 is Bloomington North’s athletic, playmaking guard Jalen Williams Jalen Williams 6’4″ | SG Bloomington North | 2026 State IN . Williams is easily one of the most naturally athletic players in the 2026 class and plays the game with great bounce. He shoots it well from three-point range, has the athleticism to get to the rim off of the dribble, and is really hard to contain in the open floor. He has had a real strong start for Grand Park Premier so far this AAU season and if you get a chance to see him this summer, you will be impressed. So much potential in Williams.
Jamar Thomas Jamar Thomas 6’4″ | SG Lawrence North | 2026 State IN is one of the more physically-gifted players that we have in the state right now. The Lawrence North product has gotten better and better throughout the AAU season and is coming a real strong showing at Run N Slam a few weeks ago. He is arguably the most explosive guard in the 2026 class in the state and his elite athletic ability is a real standout. Watch him this summer with Indy Heat 16U and when Lawrence North gets back in action in June.
