The 2026 Class Prospect Watchlist Winter Update reflects additional data including in the gym high school season evals since the last update in October. The 2026 class update is now the tenth quarterly update for the class giving us a fairly mature watchlist. You wont see as many major swings or newcomers but there is constant re-evaluation of the talent in the class.

Following are some of the biggest movers in the Winter update, along with several newcomers.
