Women's NCAA basketball recruiting: Top 25 2026 class rankings - ESPN
Signing week has come and gone, with a few major developments in the 2026 SC Next Top 100 that impacted some of the best recruiting classes in the country.
Texas was the big winner of the week. The Longhorns already had two top-60 commitments, then signed two more elite recruits in No. 8 Brihanna Crittendon and No. 10 Addison Bjorn. These commitments vaulted the Longhorns up the post-signing window class rankings. Vanderbilt (No. 35 Jhai Johnson), Michigan (No. 45 Fope Ayo) and Kansas (No. 33 Cydnee Bryant) also picked up early signing period commitments to improve their standing on the national scale.
Landing the top players in the country carries significant weight, too. Despite smaller classes, No. 1 Saniyah Hall (USC), No. 2 Oliviyah Edwards (Tennessee), No. 3 Olivia Vukosa (UConn), No. 4 Kate Harpring (North Carolina) and No. 6 McKenna Woliczko (Iowa) were all impactful developments for their respective schools. In the Trojans' case, Hall's overwhelming dominance, along with the addition of top international recruit Sitaya Fagan, was enough to maintain the top spot.
Here's how the numbers now break down for the 2026 class:
Ninety-six of the SC Next Top 100 players are now signed to their school of choice.
Fifty-three programs across 12 conferences have landed at least one top-100 commitment.
Twenty-eight programs have multiple top-100 commitments.
Notre Dame leads the way with five; Texas, Duke and Clemson each have four; and Nebraska, Indiana, Kentucky and Florida State have three.
We can anticipate a few more changes by the end of the academic year due to a few factors. Four top-100 prospects have yet to announce their decisions, including the lone remaining five-star, Jerzy Robinson. Going into the early signing
