"The biggest stock risers from July's first live period July's first live period produced several stock boosting performances... AJ DYBANTSA, SF, EXPRESSIONS Recruitment: Offers from Alabama, Boston College, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Providence, Texas, UConn and Washington. What he did: We aren’t very deep into this article and I can just imagine some of you reading it and saying to yourselves: “How can the guy who is the runaway favorite to be ranked No. 1 in 2026 be a stock booster?” I’ll tell you why. There has been an assumption that AJ Dybantsa will eventually end up in the class of 2025. And prior to Peach Jam, I would have said that Dybantsa is just a notch below the stars of that class, Cameron Boozer and Cooper Flagg. After watching him obliterate the 17U division of the Peach Jam — leading all scorers with 25.8 points per game (next best was 21.2) while also grabbing 5.6 rebounds and dishing out 2.4 assists per game — my mind has changed. At 6-foot-7, Dybantsa is a good-sized wing who already has elite athleticism and great burst. Nobody in high school basketball is a better creator of one-on-one offense and that’s really important when projecting him to the highest level. He’s got a complete arsenal offensively. And while he’s a lock to start off as No. 1 in 2026, he’s on the same level as Boozer and Flagg in the class of 2025. We’ll be looking at one of the toughest No. 1 decisions we’ve ever had if Dybantsa decides to reclassify." 247sports.com/longformarticle/college-basketball-recruiting-bossis-best-july-live-period-stock-212645573/#2194598

"Sam Funches, C, Team Iso Joe- Another member of the class of 2026, Funches is a 6-foot-10’ish big man with lots of length who plays with a lot of energy. He is long and lean, can really run and is active on both ends of the floor. His team had a rough one during the game we watched and he’s still very much a work in progress but he’s got big time upside and plenty of time to grow into his game. Fucnhes already has several offers from the likes of Arkansas, Auburn, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and others and is likely to be included during 247Sports first ranking of the class of 2026." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/college-basketball-recruiting-recapping-the-hardwood-classic-recruitlook-finale-212946807/

"Probably the most impressive team that we saw all day in the 15U division was Team Loaded. In particular, it was Loaded’s impressive collection of young big men including Latrell Allmond, Chase Foster, Kendre Harrison and Kosi Mgbejiofor... Maybe the most well-known of the group, Allmond is a skilled 6-foot-8 center who has good feet, great hands and some serious feel. He had a productive freshman season for one of the country’s top high school teams Richmond (Va.) John Marshall and in addition to A&M has already landed offers from others like Florida State, Georgia, Georgetown, LSU, NC State, Rutgers and VCU to name a few." 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/longformarticle/college-basketball-recruiting-class-of-2026-takes-center-stage-at-ncaa-basketball-academy-213170315/#2200637

"A shifty play-maker, Livingston Jr. recently performed well at the prestigious City of Palms Classic in Fort Myers. Against IMG Academy Blue, he scored 13 points while dishing out five assists on 63 percent shooting from the field. His father, Randy Livingston, played collegiately at LSU and 11 seasons in the NBA from 1996-2007... “I am very thankful to currently have four offers from St. John’s, Michigan State, Georgetown and California. “I received my first offer from St. John’s in eighth grade. It was definitely a surreal feeling that my hard work is paying off and that I will have a chance to continue playing the sport I love at a higher level.” news.scorebooklive.com/florida/2023/01/11/prospect-profile-randy-rj-livingston-jr-westminster-academy"Stock Risers: Five point guards that made the most of the grassroots season... Overview: Rivals hasn’t ranked the class of 2026 yet, but Livingston, the son of the former LSU Tiger turned NBA player by the same name, will see his name on the initial list when it debuts. Livingston boasts advanced court vision for a high school sophomore and can score it at a decent clip as well. He’s already proven able to create off the dribble and get by defenders and will take the next step as he develops as an outside shooter and adds weight. He averaged 9.6 points and 4.6 assists playing for LivOn Basketball Club at the 16U level this summer. Recruitment: Michigan State and Georgetown are among Livingston’s early offers." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/stock-risers-five-point-guards-that-made-the-most-of-the-grassroots-season

"CP3 Rising Stars Camp: Top Performers... On3 MVP: SG Jordan Smith There was a toughness that we saw in Jordan Smith that lasted from the opening top until the final whistle. It was a relentless style of play that started on the defensive end and quickly turned into a lot of easy buckets. Smith is a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Fairfax (VA) Paul VI. His defense is his superpower; that is what you walk away talking about, his ability to defend the point of attack. That defense got him an invite to USA Basketball U16 Training Camp. In this setting, Smith showed capable on the offensive end, especially when playing up-tempo. He can get downhill in straight lines, and he has great balance with a lot of burst off the bounce. Even in a camp setting, Smith brought it each play, and that stood out. Early in his recruitment, Smith claims offers from the likes of Kansas State, Villanova, Georgetown, Maryland, Syracuse, and others." www.on3.com/news/cp3-rising-stars-camp-top-performers/

SG Quincy Wadley Quincy Wadley made shots, and ultimately, that will be what carries him to his highest levels; however, the takeaway from this camp was the motor. Wadley came out motivated in this setting, making sure his presence was felt on the defensive end of the floor. In Sunday’s game, the 6-foot-4 Wadley finished with multiple chase-down blocks. He slid his feet well on the ball and rotated down as a help defender. Wadley, who attends Arlington (VA) Bishop O’Connell, used his length in the passing lanes and turned defense into easy offense. With the ball in his hands, Wadley made shots. He did not force anything and showed range along with comfort, especially with a pull-up jump shot. He made the game easy during CP3 Rising Stars Camp, nothing forced, but very translatable.

"Jordan Smith is quickly carving out his niche as one of the best on-ball defenders in his class.

So while they are recruiting him, they’re also recruiting me. I’ve been able to see a lot of good things with their program; they’ve been winning and all.” Virginia Tech: “I don’t know too much about Virginia Tech right now, but I hope to get to learn more about them soon.” Maryland: “I’m trying to get up to see them later this month, maybe early next month. My former teammate, Deshawn Harris-Smith, just went there. Their assistant coach, Mike Jones, is a big part of my recruitment too.

"Back over at Pangos, Ikenna Alozie -- who is from Lagos, Nigeria -- was causing all types of problems for defenders trying to handle him on Saturday and Sunday. After playing his freshman season in New Jersey, the 6-foot-3 shooting guard who currently ranks No. 17 overall in the class of 2026 has moved out to Glendale (Ariz.) Dream City Christian and seems to be adjusting just fine. At Pangos, he was easily the most physical guard in attendance. Defenders had real issues staying in front of his hard charging drives and he was mixing in just enough jump shots to keep guys on their heels and from playing him solely for the drive. Alozie also showed some nice instincts as a passer and with his athleticism, speed and lateral quickness, there’s no doubt that he’s going to be an elite perimeter defender. Just last week Alozie added offers from Oregon and UCLA to go along with others he already had from the likes of Arizona State, Cincinnati, Creighton, Georgetown, Oklahoma State, Providence, St. John’s and Villanova." 247sports.com/longformarticle/college-basketball-recruiting-tyran-stokes-brandon-mccoy-jason-crowe-and-more-shine-during-socal-events-216909307/#2252989

Four-Star PF Latrell Allmond (2026) Latrell Allmond is a powerful forward with touch and a nose for the ball. He was in attack mode all game here, lining up at different levels and putting pressure on the defense. Allmond is a 6-foot-8 forward. He started on the block, finishing with his back to the basket, with a go-to over his left shoulder, and showing an early counter. As the game went on, Allmond would receive the pass at the mid and high post, where he would rip through and get to the basket and finish in traffic. The sophomore has a nose for production and is not afraid to mix things up on the defensive end and the boards. Allmond is the No. 30 player in the 2026 On3 150. He finished going 8-14 from the field for 22 points and eight rebounds in the Richmond (VA) John Marshall win." www.on3.com/news/good-guys-vs-cancer-top-performers-eli-ellis-austin-swartz/
