South Dakota 2026 Rankings: Stock-Risers - Prep Hoops (2024)

The South Dakota 2026 rankings were updated on Monday. Let’s look at 12 prospects that moved up in the rankings.

Caleb might be somewhat of an unknown, but he can play. He was the starting point guard for 17-5 Wolsey-Wessington. He averaged 11 ppg., 4.2 apg., 4.0 rpg., and 2.3 spg. Elite agility on the court, always moving without the ball. Unselfish guard that doesn’t over-dribble and is looking for teammates.

Brink has really impressed this offseason for Sanford Sports Academy . One of the best overall athletes in the class, with elite movement traits. A defensive weapon that can create a lot of havoc on that end. Good length at 6’2″.

Cole is a smaller guard but he’s also one of the best three-point shooters in the class. Has been shooting it at a very high clip for SD Identity this offseason. Elite quickness with the ball.

Along with Ryder Johnson Ryder Johnson 6'4" | SG Groton Area | 2026 State SD , I believe Tracy has a breakout year for Groton Area as well. Has been handling point guard duties for James Valley Thunder and has shown elite quickness and ability to play the position. Groton Area surprises a lot of people this year, and Tracy is a big reason why.

I saw Huntimer online for Brookings’ JV team and he should be a varsity contributor in his Junior season for them. Has solid size at 6’3″ as a two-guard. A scorer’s mentality that loves to attack and get to the hoop.

Bergan can now be translated to a wing with his ability to shoot the three and he doesn’t have the size to translate to an interior prospect. I believe Aberdeen Central is counting on him to take another step forward and become a key varsity contributor.

Recently saw Bunde at the Dakota State Team Camp and a few times with SD Identity . He’s a long and thin guard that moves well and fluid. Goes off the dribble effectively, trying to score at the rim.

Kortan was the starting point guard for Spearfish and had a solid year for them, with averages of 7.7 ppg, 2.1 apg., 3.8 rpg., and 2.7 spg. Doesn’t have any elite traits but is a capable ball-handler and shooter.

Schilling received varsity playing time this past season for Washington and I think he also translates to the point guard position. A tough guard with a solid enough handle and command to translate to the point.

Luke doesn’t have great positional size as a 6’4″ Big, but he plays extremely hard and tough in the paint. The lefty goes after contact and is a good finisher at the hoop and a little extended.

Relf goes up in the rankings because of his shooting ability and shot-making prowess. Could actually be a little higher up, so we’ll monitor how things turn out for him in the high school season.

A varsity starter for Spearfish as their two-guard, Davis has good length, athleticism, and movement. A good positional defender and a capable catch-and-shoot three-point shooter. Averaged 7.3 ppg. for Spearfish as the team’s fourth leading scorer.
