It was a terrific evaluation weekend in Arizona at the Nike EYBL Session I. Some highly ranked players weren’t able to participate, but nevertheless there was plenty of talent on display at the Arizona Athletic Grounds.

Let’s take a look at my EYBL Class of 2026 stock risers:

Tarris Bouie 6’6 SG - Team Thad
Long armed, quick twitched guard that’s very athletic. Opened a lot of eyes last weekend and could see a huge leap in the national player rankings. Finished with emphatic dunks with runs at the rim. Made open perimeter shots and showed ability to attack with either hand and get a shot off. There’s a lot of upside as a shot-creator and Bouie impressed several NBA scouts in attendance.

Sammy Jackson, 6’7 SG/SF - Team Final
Skilled wing that’s versatile offensively. Operates best as a secondary and tertiary ball-handler, but can be the primary ball-handler in stretches if needed. Good feel as a passer and nice touch when launching off the catch and move. A jack of all trades type of wing that holds a lot of promise. He played whatever role needed to win and that what I was most impressed with.

Jahda Swann, 6’4 CG - NY Lightning
His recruitment and national attention should grow after Session I. Downhill threat, athletic, plays through contact and knows how to draw fouls. Adequate attacking with either hand and showed nice elevation on pull-ups. Jahda is one to watch in the EYBL Live Period in Memphis (Tenn.) and is a no brainer top 100 player.

Dreylan Creasy-Quirindoongo, 6’7 SF - Boo Williams
Shot the cover off the ball and doesn’t need a lot of space to launch. Saw him make shots off movement and spot-up situations. A very intriguing prospect due to positional size and deep range shooting prowess.

Kohl Rosario, 6’5 SG - Team CP3:
Two-Guard with good positional size and frame. Bouncy and made shots from deep. Effective in transition as a finisher and moved well off the ball. Was always in position to make a play. Plus athleticism, shooting and feel for the game was on display in Arizona.
