"Projecting high school basketball prospects will always be an imperfect exercise. Rankings are built on evaluation and projection, but a myriad of unpredictable factors will impact a player's ultimate outcome. Take, for example, two players from this year's midseason impact freshmen list. Vanderbilt's Aubrey Galvan and Maryland's Addi Mack were unranked on the girls' SCNext 100 coming out of high school. Now, they and other freshmen like Cearah Parchment ( Illinois) and Kennedy Henry ( Villanova) are outperforming their high school rankings."
"Nyemcheck checks every box for a player who will continue to improve in college. She's versatile and unselfish, which will serve her well at Indiana. This season, the 6-foot-1 wing is averaging 20.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while shooting 45% from 3 as she more consistently works in long-range shooting to complement her patented slashing game."
Rankings and projections for high school basketball prospects are inherently imperfect, as unpredictable factors shape career outcomes. Multiple current freshmen and sophomores—such as Aubrey Galvan, Addi Mack, Cearah Parchment, Kennedy Henry, Liv McGill, Britt Prince, Dani Carnegie and Ava Heiden—have outperformed their high school rankings or were unranked. Continued development in college produces these upward trajectories. Among 2026 recruits, Nyemcheck stands out as a versatile 6-foot-1 wing averaging 20.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 45% from three, projecting as a three-level scorer and switchable defender in a motion-style offense. Lampley projects as an elite defender.
