Rivals' expanded 2026 women's basketball recruiting rankings

Rivals has updated and expanded its 2026 women’s basketball recruiting rankings to the top 100 prospects in the country. While it’s still fairly early in the cycle, more and more players are beginning to announce their commitments. The top 75 remained roughly the same, but 25 new additions have made a splash and earned a spot in the rankings.

Let’s break down some of the movement.

A few risers following AAU season

Morgan Stewart, GiGi Battle and Aaliah Spaight are three major stock-risers from this past AAU season. Each of the three has received high-profile offers and are still in the fairly early stages of their recruitment, beginning to take official visits. 

Stewart, a 5-11 guard from Washington (DC) received offers from Vanderbilt, Maryland, Iowa and more this summer. Battle, a 5-11 guard from Edison (NJ), received offers from programs including North Carolina and NC State. Spaight, a 5-7 point guard from Las Vegas (NV), was offered by Texas, Vanderbilt, LSU and more. 

Each of the three guards received a high level of attention this season and will choose from some of the nation’s elite programs. 

New additions earn a spot in the Top 100

Rivals expanded its rankings from 75 to 100 prospects and among the newest additions are several committed prospects. 

The new additions include UCF commit Kamrah Banks, Arizona commit Callie Hinder, Nebraska’s Maddi Stewart and NC State’s Annsley Trivette. 

While it’s still early in the cycle for many, 33 of the top 100 prospects have verbally committed to a college at this point.
