It’s been a busy week in the PRO16 recruiting world, with 7 class of 2026 players announcing their commitments. With some of the bigger prospects coming off the board, be sure to check out some thoughts on their fit, what fans can expect, and link to some of their highlights from the PRO16 season.
Toni Bryant | 2026 | 6’10 | F | Zephyrhills | Missouri Commit
Bryant is one of the most dominant athletes in the 2026 class. With his commitment, Missouri locks in a high ceiling prospect that has the physical tools to be an immediate contributor. A consensus top 20 prospect, Bryant’s potential is clear when you watch him. His vertical athleticism, mobility, and strength pop when you see him play. His most immediate path to impact winning will be as a rebounder, rim runner, lob threat, mobile defender, and play finisher at the rim. It’s easy to envision him making a difference as a high effort defender and finisher around the rim right away. Where his ceiling really unlocks are his ball skills, as well as tapping into that high effort. Buying in as well as developing his jumper, skill as a short roller, and attack off the dribble will be key to him unlocking his full potential and cementing himself as an early NBA prospect.
Eli Sancomb | 2026 | 6’5 | PG | Wheeling Central Catholic | Liberty Commit
Sancomb, a consensus top-150 prospect and one of the most productive point guards on any circuit, committed to Liberty yesterday. He is one of the biggest steals in this class for the Flames in my opinion, with a chance at a long, productive college career. With Sancomb, you can expect excellent passing vision and decision making, efficient scoring from multiple levels, smart team defense, and a relentless competitor. He understands the game at a high level, looks to get teammates involved, and makes winning plays consistently. His fit with what Liberty has built is excellent and I see that staff really maximizing his potential.
Jaden Ghoreishi | 2026 | 6’9 | F | Colorado State Commit
Ghoreishi committed to Colorado State this morning, adding to a super talented 2026 class for the Rams alongside Gregory Dunson and Eric Fiedler. Colorado State is building a juggernaut recruiting class, picking up three of the most talented under the radar recruits in the glass. Ghoreishi is a top 150 level talent in my opinion that is just starting to unlock his full potential. With a strong frame at 6’9, Ghoreishi has the physical tools to impact the game as a rebounder, shot blocker, and interior scorer. Where things are really interesting with his game are his skill level. He’s a very good three point shooter, has excellent touch around the basket, and excels as a passer for his position. For what Colorado State wants to do offensively, Ghoreishi will have a chance to really thrive as he learns and develops in their system.
Hudson Franz | 2026 | 6’3 | PG | Terra Verde | Maine Commit
Franz committed to Maine yesterday, making a very good addition for the Black Bears. He will join a few other PRO16 Alum with Maine in Josh Ojuri and Darius Lopes. Franz is a highly skilled, smart point guard that will score and make plays with others with efficiency. Also impressive in Franz’ game is his competitiveness, pressure on the defensive end, and consistency pushing the pace and making plays in transition.
Greg Howard | 2026 | 6’3 | SPIRE | Cal State Fullerton
Howard was a serious breakout player over the Summer on the PRO16. His Commitment to Cal State Fullerton yesterday marks an addition of an impressive two way guard for the Titans. Strong, balanced, and skilled, Howard is a highly skilled scorer, tough defender at the point of attack, and high effort competitor. His skill as a scorer really shined, averaging over 15 points per game on good efficiency over the Spring and Summer.
JRob Croy | 2026 | 6’6 | G | Riverside Poly | Saint Mary’s Commit
The commitment of Croy no doubt has the Saint Mary’s staff excited. He was a huger riser over the summer, jumping into the national rankings, helping lead his team to a PRO16 Title, and producing at a high level at every level of competition. Croy is the son of Cal Baptist Head Coach Rick Croy. His skillset matches very well with a Saint Mary’s program that values shooting, passing, and size on the perimeter. The guard is extremely efficient from three point range, makes plays as a passer at a high level, and can operate at the 1 or 2 effectively. He was one of the most prolific offensive talents in the league and has the talent to break into the rotation early for the Gaels.
Rylan Kelly | 2026 | 6’3 | G | Southeastern Prep | Sam Houston Commit
Kelly was one of the surprises of the summer on the PRO16 with 1Family. He’s a big difference maker on both sides of the floor and a very explosive athlete on the perimeter. He brings rim pressure, good shooting from beyond the arc, strong perimeter defense, and solid rebounding for his position. The ability to score it from multiple levels, create off the dribble, get out and convert in transition, and apply consistent pressure on opposing guards will be his best pathways to minutes.
