"The vast majority of players in the girls' 2026 SC Next Top 100 have now announced their college commitments. A surge came in October, reflecting a new trend of later decisions influenced by unlimited official visits and revenue-share negotiations in women's college basketball. It's a new era for the sport, one that is no longer fully amateur, rather shaped by more participants and variables in the recruiting process."
"As we enter the early signing period for the 2026 class (Nov. 12-19), 52 different programs across 12 conferences have landed at least one top-100 commitment. Twenty-four have multiple such commitments. Notre Dame leads the way with five, Duke and Clemson each have four, while Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida State follow suit with three. Just three five-star players remain uncommitted: Jerzy Robinson, Brihanna Crittendon and Addison Bjorn."
"For the third time in four years, USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb has the No. 1 recruit. Hall follows JuJu Watkins (2023) and Jazzy Davidson (2025). The Trojans also have arguably the top international recruit in Fagan. Hall is a 6-foot do-everything guard who earned MVP honors at the U19 FIBA Women's World Cup in July. She scores from everywhere and she's an exceptional rebounder, particularly on offense."
The vast majority of girls' 2026 SC Next Top 100 players have announced college commitments. A surge occurred in October driven by unlimited official visits and revenue-share negotiations in women's college basketball. Recruiting now involves more participants and variables and no longer fits a fully amateur model. Fifty-two programs across 12 conferences have at least one top-100 commit, and 24 programs have multiple commits. Notre Dame leads with five commitments; Duke and Clemson have four each; Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida State have three each. Three five-star players remain uncommitted: Jerzy Robinson, Brihanna Crittendon and Addison Bjorn. Thirteen top-100 players are still undecided. USC holds the No. 1 recruit, Saniyah Hall, and also landed five-star Sitaya Fagan.
