2026 Ian Bailey (Asheville Christian):
It is good to see others are starting to see what we saw with Bailey a while back (Article), and that trend should only continue as he continues to develop. Bailey is a young prospect that plays with tremendous poise, feel, and understanding. He plays at his pace, makes smart decisions, has the ability to score from multiple levels, is a strong playmaker off the dribble, and is one that still has upside to his game. He was tremendous at the event, and he should only continue to rise up the ranks for many others.
2026 Dane Cassada (Calvary Day):
Cassada has been on our radar for nearly three years now, and we have been watching his impressive development over the years. It now seems that so many are starting to see how this young man has improved and should be on college coaches’ radars. Cassada is strong, makes smart decisions, sees the floor really well, facilitates, and has really become a strong three-level scorer. He has shown tremendous improvement and confidence in his shot-making as well.
2026 Michael Phillips (Grace Christian):
The 6’4 prospect is a prospect that you will want to jot down and watch more develop, as there is a lot of potential in what he could ultimately be. Watching him first-hand a few months ago, he is one that brings a ton of intrigue with his size, length, his ability to make and create for himself, and stay aggressive as a young prospect on the court. He continues to show his ability to mix it up offensively on the court, stretch the floor with his shot-making, but also attack the basket.
2026 Kobe Edwards (Greenfield):
There is a lot to like about Edwards and what he may ultimately be in the end. He is a 6’1 point guard that is extremely long, has a tremendous wingspan, has grown even more over the last year, and shows that he can be a dynamic player with the ball in his hands. He was tremendous in creating off the dribble, get to the basket, and delivering on-point passes to his teammates. Edwards certainly can be electric with the ball in his hands, and it will be interesting to see how he develops.
