By JAMES MADDEN

The 2026 Panini Hoophall Classic will once again feature a laundry list of elite high school talent, with the event finalizing its 2026 field in recent weeks and the event scheduled to begin on Thursday, January 15. The event has hosted 12 of the last 15 No. 1 overall draft picks and is set to feature 56 players in ESPN’s Top 100 for the class of 2026.

Among the elite talent expected to take the court in Springfield, five-star and top prospect Tyran Stokes, who remains uncommitted, will headline that list.
