Overview: The 2026 SC Next 100 includes 17 five-star prospects. As of Nov. 10, 2025, 14 have publicly chosen schools, the most recent being No. 17 Kaeli Wynn’s commitment to South Carolina. With the early signing window approaching (Nov. 12–19), three five-stars remain unsigned. The notes below consider each player’s background, how she should fit schematically, what she adds, and what she may need to adjust to maximize impact. Last updated: Nov. 10, 2025.
Saniyah Hall, G — No. 1 — Committed to USC (July 25, 2025)
Background: A Montverde product currently at Spire Academy, Hall was the U19 FIBA World Cup MVP (19.9 PPG) and shot at an efficient clip in international play.
Fit: Joins a perimeter laden USC backcourt alongside JuJu Watkins, Jasmine Davidson and Kennedy Smith. Her wing/guard versatility and outside shooting expand USC’s high-scoring, switchable perimeter group.
Adjustment: Will need to carve out a role among primary scorers and refine defensive assignments when paired with other elite shot creators. Still projects as an immediate contributor.
Oliviyah Edwards, F — No. 2 — Committed to Tennessee (Sept. 13, 2025)
Background: A 6-3 explosive athlete from Washington with improving range and strong finishing at the rim; standout on the Adidas circuit this summer.
Fit: Perfect for Tennessee’s fast, pressure-heavy defensive system. She stretches the floor, finishes in transition and provides disruptive defense similar to Zee Spearman’s role.
Significance: The highest-rated commit for Kim Caldwell so far and a big boost to Tennessee’s perimeter-oriented frontcourt.
Olivia Vukosa, P — No. 3 — Committed to UConn (Oct. 21, 2025)
Background: A 6-4, multi-skilled center out of Christ the King with international experience for Croatia (U16, U20) and strong EuroBasket B numbers (35/22).
Fit: A modern Geno post who can score inside, pass out of the post and stretch the defense. She gives UConn a flexible interior option through whom the offense can operate.
Ceiling: High — projects to be a cornerstone of UConn’s frontcourt rotation.
Kate Harpring, PG — No. 4 — Committed to North Carolina (Aug. 9, 2025)
Background: Georgia native and top point guard with MVP honors at Overtime Select; brings scoring, rebounding and international experience (U19 FIBA).
Fit: Provides UNC with a physical creator who can rebound the perimeter and attack downhill, complementing Lanie Grant and adding toughness to Carolina’s guard group.
Role: Expected to take significant minutes early and to bolster UNC’s defensive intensity.
McKenna Woliczko, W — No. 6 — Committed to Iowa (Oct. 1, 2025)
Background: A 6-2 forward from Archbishop Mitty known for elite rebounding and interior finishing; missed time earlier in the year with a knee issue but plays with a relentless motor.
Fit: As Jada Gyamfi and Hannah Stuelke exit, Woliczko projects to provide rim work, offensive putbacks and interior defense for Jan Jensen’s team.
Outlook: Immediate contributor if healthy; Iowa may still add frontcourt depth to complement her skill set.
Jordyn Jackson, G — No. 7 — Committed to Maryland (Aug. 9, 2025)
Background: Explosive wing who landed at St. James Academy; improved ball-handling, shooting and already shows strong defensive and rebounding instincts.
Fit: Maryland’s aggressive, up-tempo offense suits Jackson’s game. She’s a likely heir to some of Kaylene Smikle’s responsibilities and will help keep the pace and scoring high.
Need: Maryland may look to add an interior piece or a complementary guard to round out the class.
Jacy Abii, W — No. 9 — Committed to Notre Dame (Oct. 4, 2025)
Background: A 6-2 forward with playmaking ability, vision and a developing 3-point shot; missed time with an ACL but showed positive flashes in late recovery.
Fit: Brings versatility to Notre Dame’s frontcourt, capable of initiating offense, rebounding and creating matchup problems with her passing.
Outlook: Offers rotation flexibility in a class that already features size and wing options; minutes should be available in varied frontcourt looks.
Trinity Jones, G — No. 11 — Committed to Clemson (Oct. 28, 2025)
Background: A 6-1 slashing wing and elite athlete who missed time with a knee injury; excels in transition and on-ball defense.
Fit: A key athletic addition for Shawn Poppie’s rebuild, adding defensive versatility and transition scoring to a class with several top-50 commits.
Impact: Should accelerate Clemson’s retooling and contribute immediately on defense and in open-court opportunities.
Autumn Fleary, PG — No. 12 — Committed to Duke (Oct. 18, 2025)
Background: The consensus top point guard in 2026, led Team Takeover to an EYBL title and averaged 19.1 PPG on the circuit.
Fit: A prototypical true point for Kara Lawson — skilled in pick-and-roll, ball-handling and on-ball defense. Complements Duke’s interchangeable guard group (Bella Flemings, Sanai Green).
Projection: Primary ball-distributor and perimeter defender from Day 1.
Maddyn Greenway, PG — No. 13 — Committed to Kentucky (Nov. 16, 2024)
Background: A multisport athlete from Minnesota, U19 World Cup gold medalist and Gatorade POY for Minnesota; brings elite competitiveness.
Fit: Natural floor general who pressures defenses and scores at all three levels. Expected to be Kenny Brooks’ lead guard and a cornerstone in Year 2 of the rebuild.
Role: Immediate playmaking and defensive initiation.
Olivia Jones, G — No. 14 — Committed to Vanderbilt (Oct. 31, 2025)
Background: A 5-11 guard from Long Island Lutheran with USA U16 gold and notable EYBL experience; younger for her class but advanced technically.
Fit: Pairs well with Mikayla Blakes in Shea Ralph’s fast-paced system as a steady perimeter defender and developing offensive threat.
Outlook: Will push tempo, take tough defensive assignments and grow as a scoring option.
Lilly Williams, P — No. 15 — Committed to Michigan State (Feb. 4, 2024)
Background: A 6-5 center who was homeschooled until recently and played for the Michigan Mystics P24; offers explosive athletic upside and interior rim protection.
Fit: Projects to anchor MSU’s interior defense and thrive in a press-and-rotation Spartan scheme that forces turnovers.
Need: Staff will likely seek perimeter scoring to complement her inside presence.
Bella Flemings, G — No. 16 — Committed to Duke (Oct. 13, 2025)
Background: A 6-foot guard known for steadiness, high basketball IQ and elite 3-point shooting (42.2% on the UA circuit); sister of five-star Kingston Flemings.
Fit: Versatile shooter and creator for Duke’s interchangeable backcourt. Joins Fleary and Sanai Green to form a balanced, high-IQ guard group.
Projection: Reliable wing who can space the floor and create in multiple lineups.
Kaeli Wynn — No. 17 — Committed to South Carolina (Nov. 10, 2025)
Background: A 6-2 multi-positional player and daughter of college coaches who picked South Carolina over Stanford. Missed summer play after dislocating her right knee; previously averaged 13.3 PPG on the EYBL circuit.
Fit: Brings shooting, positional flexibility and physical rebounding to South Carolina’s wing/forward mix. Able to slide between guard and forward spots, she spaces the floor, crashes the glass and provides toughness.
Role: Expected to be a vocal, energetic, positionless piece who complements Kelsi Andrews and current freshmen Agot Makeer and Ayla McDowell, adding interchangeable frontcourt depth and defensive versatility.
Savvy Swords, W — No. 19 — Committed to Kentucky (June 21, 2025)
Background: A Canadian prospect often on the Long Island Lutheran circuit; younger sister of Syla Swords. Missed time with a knee injury but is rehabbing well.
Fit: At 6-1, she can shoot and facilitate from the perimeter while providing interior grit. Projects as an interchangeable wing alongside Kaelyn Carroll and pairs well with Maddyn Greenway in Kentucky’s early core.
Notes and outlook: This group of five-stars covers guards, wings and posts and will materially reshape several 2026 classes. A number of projections hinge on health and the speed of reintegration for injured players. Some commits are immediate fits who should step into playing time, while others fill longer-term schematic needs such as spacing, rim protection or primary ball-handling. Coaching staffs will continue to pursue remaining five-stars and complementary pieces via the portal and high school ranks as the early signing window opens. Check back for updates as more commitments are finalized.
