Updated Class of 2026 Rankings – Top Newcomers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first update of the Class of 2026 rankings this fall is complete and a number of new names have made their way on to the list. Here's a look at some of the top players that make their debut.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">49 - [player_tooltip player_id='2573945' first='Zach' last='Fisher'] (2026 North Eugene)</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fisher played a reserve role on North Eugene's 5A tournament team but should step into the starting lineup this season. At 6-foot-6 he's got good size down low but the lefty showed at The Expo: Oregon that he's got a super soft touch on his shot - in the 3x3 drills he was draining long range jumpers left and right.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">53 - <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/izaiah-glover/">Izaiah Glover</a> (2026 Parkrose)</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glover stands to be an impact performer for the Broncos this season. At just over 6-foot, he's athletic and well-built physically with the ability to take the ball strong to the hole or knock down shots from the outside. He put together an impressive string of games at The Expo: Oregon this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">63 - [player_tooltip player_id='2572921' first='Tyson' last='Walker'] (2026 West Albany)</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A starter at power forward in 2023-24, Walker will have much of the same role for another Bulldogs team that should challenge for the Mid-Willamette conference title. He's rock solid and well-built physically at 6-foot-4 and works hard on the boards and on defense. At The Expo: Oregon he showed that his offensive game has expanded.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">80 - [player_tooltip player_id='2470697' first='Chaz' last='Katoanga'] (2026 Nelson)</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nelson has some big names in their backcourt but because of his ability to do multiple things on both sides of the court, Katoanga earned plenty of playing time last season. The 6-foot junior can guard any perimeter position and is capable of running the point or playing off the ball and hitting open shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">89 - [player_tooltip player_id='2575686' first='Samuel' last='Johnson'] (2026 La Salle)</h1> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson made an impression on us in the La Salle games we watched in the month of June. The 6-foot-2 swingman has the physical strength to attack the hoop and finish down low, but can also hit shots off the catch and shoot or the dribble pull-up in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
