Kyler’s Summer Watch List: 2026 Cs

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the spring portion of the AAU season about to wrap up, we now turn our focus to the summer which is the time we see the high school action get back underway. 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 three 2026 Cs that are on my watch list for the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2252551"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"There may not be a more impressive center in the in-state 2026 class when it comes to pure, raw skill than Southport big man [player_tooltip player_id='2252551' first='James' last='Kalala'].

He has played really well for Indiana elite Team Indiana with his good hands, footwork, and the ability to finish with both hands at the rim.
