Arguably #1 prospect in the class of 2026, at 6’9 Almond is already a HM before even attending first day of class. Coming off a summer where he played 15 and under on the Adidas three stripe select circuit, he led his Team Loaded VA squad to a final four finish. Then right into a 8-0 June live period with John Marshall high school.

Almond is walking into high school with five power five offers already. From Rutgers, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Georgetown. Joining a loaded roster already with upperclassman in four star Dennis Parker, Reed Thompson, and Dominique Bailey.

Not too often do you see a big man with feet and hands as good as Almond. The way he gets up the floor and finishes will have him amongst the best. I see Almond as himself of course but most like an Isaiah Todd and Anthony Davis. He is able to catch lobs and protect the rim, while also push the ball and shoot the ball like a guard. Almond three point shot has came a long way. This kid is next up.
