<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 rankings update was filled with so many stock-risers, that one article was not enough. Here are even more stock-risers from the 2026 rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2450726' first='Nolan' last='Barnes'], 5'9 PG Lenape</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barnes moved up 10 spots in the update and has the potential to move up even more with a strong summer. The 5'9 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. Barnes can also score in the mid-range and wastes little motion in his release. He is an underrated passer and moves his feet on the defensive end. Barnes is a speedy guard prospect who should have a big summer with his ability to make plays at both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1948973' first='Ryan' last='Hilongos'], 6'7 PF St. Joe's Metuchen</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hilongos went up nine spots in the update as he was able to put his game on display. The 6'7 forward has a good face-up game as he can put the ball on the floor and can knock down open jumpers. Hilongos has a nice touch around the rim and is able to draw contact down low. He fights for rebounds on both ends of the floor and uses his size to influence shots on the defensive end. Hilongos' ability to stretch the floor and defend the paint is something that will be key for his development over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2421359' first='Isaac' last='Shrager'], 6'4 SG/PG Old Tappan</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shrager jumped up nine spots as well and will be a guard prospect to track this summer. The 6'4 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Shrager moves well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the half court. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated passer. Shrager will be tasked with making more plays on the ball this summer, which will help his game out in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brody Halik, 6'3 PG Morris Knolls</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Halik also moved up nine spots in the update and is an intriguing prospect in the class. The 6'3 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and knows how to finish around the basket. Halik can also score in the mid-range and has the ability to play off the ball as well. He is a strong rebounder for a guard and uses his length to make an impact on the defensive end. Halik is a physical guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the summer months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2422938' first='Samuel' last='Owusu-Adoumi'], 6'5 SF Paramus Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owusu-Adoumi jumped up eight spots in the update and could move up further with a big summer. The 6'5 forward has a quick first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and can finish strong above the rim. Owusu-Adoumi uses his size to see over his defender and rises up nicely on his jumper. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and moves well without the ball in his hands. Owusu-Adoumi can put up points in bunches and will look to put on a scoring display over the course of the next couple of months.</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='2639938' first='Isaiah' last='Headley'], 6'4 SG Roselle Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2342604' first='Dean' last='Yellen Jr'], 6'0 CG Johnson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2505096' first='Nick' last='Nsenkyrie'], 6'1 SG Rutgers Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107995' first='Sean' last='Hall'], 6'3 SG Hackettstown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2771755' first='Emmanuel' last='Cruz'], 6'2 SG/PG Woodbridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
