Class of 2026 Basketball Rankings
AI-powered rankings combining multiple sources
PrepRadar tracks 1289 nationally ranked prospects in the Class of 2026, with full scout reports on 3192 players across the class. Tyran Stokes, a small forward out of Rainier Beach, holds the No. 1 spot in our AI rankings and has already committed to Kansas. The board below blends 247Sports, ESPN, On3, and Rivals rankings with offer quality, recruiting momentum, and visibility signals rather than mirroring any single service.
Evaluators largely agree on Tyran Stokes, Jordan Smith, and Caleb Holt — every major service ranks each of them within ten spots. The most divisive name in the class is Bryson Howard, whose national rankings span No. 9 to No. 29 across services — a 20-spot disagreement.
Our model is higher than the traditional services on Anderson Diaz and Ikenna Alozie: Anderson Diaz checks in at No. 35 on PrepRadar against No. 51 on 247Sports. Of the top 100 players on the board, 83 have already made a college commitment. Rankings update as new offers, commitments, and service revisions land — every player below links to a full profile and scout report.
