Silas is an intriguing prospect in the 2026 class. He has that blend of length, explosiveness, and budding skill that isn’t very common to find. Silas does a nice job of changing his speed on the ball, helping him to beat smaller defenders off the dribble. Around the basket he showed impressive body control to finish off one or two feet, with the touch to finish high off the glass or the explosiveness to lift off for a dunk when he has a clear lane. Defensively he’s comfortable guarding just about every spot on the floor at the high school level.

Playing alongside some talented teammates on Team Haliburton , Bolton doesn’t have to try to do too much as he can let the game come to him and pick his spots to score. And he has done that very well, showing off his consistent ability to get to the hole on straight-line drives while also popping in some perimeter jump shots. He is an improved player on the defensive end as well and figures to emerge as one of the premier players in the Southeast Conference in 2025-26 for Kenosha Indian Trail.

Like some others on this list, Bolton is an emerging player in the state’s 2026 class. His play for Team Haliburton in a 95-91 loss to Power 5 3SSB was outstanding. Bolton scored 14 points in the game with most of his baskets coming in the final 10 minutes of the hotly contested battle. Bolton used his size and skill to score off the dribble and from the mid range, but he also was able to step outside and make some three-point shots. Bolton averaged 13.9 points and 5.9 rebounds as a junior at Kenosha Indian Trail, and he figures to improve on both numbers as a senior go-to player for the Hawks and coach Rob Van Dyke.
