Rivals Roundtable: Discussing the 2026 ranking release

Posted Sep 10, 2023
Which basketball recruit do you think has the tools to shoot up from his initial ranking in the coming year? I'm going to say Kayden Allen. He had a big summer running with the Stars, he has great size at 6-foot-5 and, though he's a guard, he scores in a variety of different ways as he can play inside and out. I just love that he’s so productive on both ends. (Rivals.com)
