On3's updated 2026 women's basketball recruiting rankings

On3 has updated and expanded its 2026 women’s basketball recruiting rankings to the top 75 prospects in the country. While it’s still early in the cycle, recruits are showing out for their AAU teams and several top prospects are beginning to narrow their focus.

Let’s break down some of the movement.

Saniyah Hall stays at No. 1, elite company round out top five

Saniyah Hall remains the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2026 and is being recruited by all of the nation’s powerhouses. The 6-0 guard from Lorain (OH) Montverde Academy has taken official visits to South Carolina and North Carolina so far, but has otherwise kept her recruitment fairly quiet. 

“She has unbelievable strength and size,” one high-major coach told On3. “It’s things that are just God-given. She’s a three-level scorer. She can shoot the three. She can play in the mid-range and finish at the basket with a very high IQ…Right now, she’s the best player in the country.” 

Beyond Hall, the next four recruits are fairly interchangeable, but Kate Harpring came in at No. 2 this time around. The 5-10 point guard from Atlanta (GA) is an elite-level scorer and equally as strong defensively. She’s taken official visits to Iowa, UCLA and Vanderbilt thus far. 

Rounding out the top five are Jerzy Robinson, Olivia Vukosa and Oliviyah Edwards – three prospects that will likely remain among the best in the class. Each is being pursued by the top programs nationally and has continued to impress this year. 

Who cracked the top 10?

There are a few new entries to the top 10 since the initial 2026 rankings. Jordyn Jackson, a 6-1 guard from Washington (DC), improved from No. 11 to No. 7 in On3’s rankings. She averaged 19.3 points and 6.8 rebounds this season for Sidwell Friends and narrowed down to six premier college teams for her landing spot. 

Savvy Swords made a jump from No. 15 to No. 9 in the update. The younger sister of Michigan star Syla Swords is a versatile wing who improved her skillset immensely over the past year. Lastly, Kentucky commit Maddyn Greenway has cracked the top 10, moving from No. 17 to the No. 10 spot. The 5-8 point guard averaged 32.8 points per game last season with Providence Academy and led the team to its’ fourth consecutive state title. 

New entries to track

Lastly, with the expanded rankings come some new names. Several prospects have made a big splash and gained recent attention from plenty of Power 5 programs. A few names to keep an eye on this AAU season are Leelee Bell, Chikae Desdunes, Shania James and Morgan Stewart.
