Frolicked on the third annual TCU Elite Camp which consists of a number of the finest gamers the state has to supply from the 2025-2027 class. The primary version of my recap talks concerning the 2026 standouts. Let’s dive in!
2026 Class Actually Stood Out
We didn’t see most of the excessive profile names within the 2025 class on this camp however for 2026, an sufficient quantity of the upper finish expertise was there. Seven Spurlock is a 6’5-6’6 lead guard that performs with plenty of poise. Plus passer, makes use of energy to get to spots and has improved as a shooter. Caught the attention of the employees together with his play this weekend. Contending as the highest participant in that class state-wise.
Dakari Spear is also in that dialog and he’s very gifted. A combo guard with a artful deal with. Adjustments speeds effectively, a strong shooter with clear pull-up recreation. Excessive upside with the playmaking, too. Sport comes straightforward to Spear.
At the moment the highest prospect statewide, Trent Perry made eye-popping performs. Freakish athlete that sports activities a close to 7-foot wingspan at 6-foot-4. Will get downhill, finishes vs. measurement and has plenty of upside of changing into a defensive play-maker. I like seeing Perry on the ball and seeking to take extra outdoors photographs. Can inform he’s been engaged on it and albeit not being a reliable shooter, there was progress together with his capturing.
Can’t neglect about Alex Barther both as he joins the convo. A 6-foot-6 guard that has made strides in his recreation. Has good positional measurement, a scorer with good contact on his pull-up jumpers and might change and be strong on the defensive finish. Deal with and resolution making has vastly improved over the previous 12 months. Might be very attention-grabbing to see the place he’s as a senior.
2026 Notables
Trae Nunn, 6’4 Wing – Waxahachie: Physique seems good and has shed some weight. A flexible shooter that may join on the transfer, off the catch and off the bounce when attacking closeouts. Actually like the expansion and dedication he’s made to growth.
Ethan Sheats, 6’8 PF – Denton: A 4-man with good measurement and will turn into an enormous wing down the street. Succesful shooter from deep, driver to the rim and performed with a great motor, particularly on the glass. Excessive upside man that has methods to go however making progress.
Davion Adkins, 6’8 PF – Oak Cliff Religion Household: Adkins was strong. I’ve seen him play higher however it was a guard heavy camp, so touches inside didn’t come on the quantity I actually would’ve most well-liked. Regardless, a lefty ahead that has made headway in increasing his recreation. Athletic, protects the rim effectively as a help-side shot blocker and offensively a powerful put-back candidate, lob risk and catch-n-shoot man from 15 ft out.
Daniel Ogoemeka, 6’11 C – WT White: Didn’t have his finest day, both, however being 6-foot-11 with lengthy arms stands out. He blocked a number of photographs every recreation, finishes above the rim and has promising contact across the rim.
Carter Chism, 6’1 PG – Mt. Nice: Artful scoring guard that has good contact on floaters and runners. His brother Payton, that’s at Collin County CC, is extra of a pure level that’s a table-setter/supervisor that may actually defend, however Carter seems extra to attain the ball, outfitted with sufficient mid-range pull-up, and has plenty of creativity with the deal with. Ought to eat a bigger position this season at Mt. Nice and cause them to the playoffs.
Silas Rodriguez, 6’3 SG – Denton Guyer: A reliable shot-maker from deep, Silas performed inside his strengths and seemed good doing it. Really feel for the sport, enough positional measurement and deep vary capturing was displayed.
Xavier Inexperienced, 5’9 PG – The Colony: Dakari Spear backcourt mate at The Colony strung collectively three strong video games. Fast guard that bought paint touches. He could not have supreme peak however he’s shifty, places strain on the protection and might rating it in bunches.
