Every update sees players move up and down the rankings and this update is no different. Here are the top stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342601' first='Eddie' last='Lopez'], 6'4 SF Middletown North</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lopez jumped up more than any other prospect in the 2026 rankings update, moving up 32 spots. The 6'4 wing attacks the basket strong and can finish through contact around the rim. Lopez uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He skies for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his length to impact the game on the defensive end. Lopez is an athletic, wing prospect whose stock should continue to rise over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1948973' first='Ryan' last='Hilongos'], 6'5 PF St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hilongos went up 29 spots in the update after a strong spring. The 6'5 forward has a good face up game as he can put the ball on the deck and his range extends out to the three-point line. Hilongos uses his frame to get position down low and has a nice touch around the basket. He works hard on the glass at both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Hilongos' stock is on the rise and has the potential to go even higher with a strong summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1948974' first='Andrew' last='Adegbite'], 6'5 PF Pompton Lakes</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Adegbite made noise this spring, which resulted in him moving up 16 spots. The 6'5 forward uses his body to get position down low and is unafraid of drawing contact. Adegbite can also put the ball on the floor and has a high release on his jumper. He is a force on the boards at both ends of the floor and plays in good help position on defense to draw charges. Adegbite is a gritty forward prospect who does what it takes to help his team win games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919208' first='Gerald' last='Elwell'], 6'5 PF Payne Tech</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elwell moved up 15 spots in the rankings after he was dominant in the paint all spring. The 6'5 forward has a good touch around the basket and muscled shots through contact in the paint. Elwell knows how to get position down low and sets strong screens in the halfcourt. He is tough to box out on the offensive glass and holds his ground on the defensive end. Elwell is a physical forward prospect whose ability to impact the paint at both ends of the floor will help his development in a big way over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342648' first='Will' last='Foley'], 5'11 SG Notre Dame</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Foley went up 18 spots in the rankings as he showed his ability to stretch the floor. The 5'11 lefty has a smooth release on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Foley moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open layups and jumpers in the halfcourt. He has the ability to play on the ball as well and is an underrated defender. Foley is a sharp-shooting guard prospect who should continue to torch the nets this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other Prospects to Know:</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595684' first='Saad' last='Mitchell'], 6'2 SG Hudson Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342641' first='Greg' last='Reyes'], 6'5 SG St. Thomas Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2347867' first='Sage' last='Mateo'], 6'3 PG Hun School</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342638' first='Jaden' last='Brown'], 6'2 SG Bergen Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2422938' first='Samuel' last='Owusu-Adoumi'], 6'5 SF Paramus Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
