Please provide or suggest names of incoming freshmen players for the class of 2026 who have yet to commit to a college. There are some great players for this incoming class!
These are the top prospects from NorCal in my opinion:
Goalies:
Will Corr (Diablo, fantastic goalie from DLS, made NTSC this year)
Alejandro Cheline: (Harker and Stanford, top goalie from JO’s platinum in terms of blocks per game made NTSC this year)
Murdoch: (SHP and Atherton, made National team multiple times) Word on the street is he has committed to UCI but not officially confirmed
Jack Elder: ( Las Lomas, and Lamo, NTSC)
Field players:
Nic Austin: (CCu elite field player with good game iq)
Andrew Wallace:( SF, made NTSC and was a big component in SF’s surprising result, elected passer and team player)
Fin Swanson: (Saint Francis and Stanford, 1st team all-CCS)
Sloan Brown: (DLS and Diablo, contender for top set not yet committed)

It’s been a while.
Now that this next wave of players has committed who are the best left in the class of 2026.
I’m not sure how many spots are still available for 2026 with the roster limits. In addition there will be plenty of transfer activity at the end of the season between the programs , which will make it even harder for those who haven’t committed yet! Hope roatwr limits are removed quickly and/or replaced with limits on international players are implemented🤞
Any word on Dash Dambrosia Newport Harbor? Surprised I haven’t seen anything on him and his recruiting process.

I can’t speak to Dambrosia’s situation but the kid is really good and I believe he went on some top 4 officials. With roster caps and transfer portals I think we will see more of the Taylor Bell scenarios play out like last year. Really good players taking longer to find the right landing spot and top programs not sure how many spots they may have. For Bell, it was a lengthy process, but landing at Princeton was a pretty good outcome.
