With just 2 sessions remaining, here is a look at some of the 2026 and postgrad players that post-secondary coaches will want to see. This is just a glimpse of players that have caught my eye in the first 4 sessions. I recommend seeing all the CTA and WCPA teams play, as each has a full roster of players who will need homes and can impact college teams at all levels.


(2026) 6'2 Bailey Assembe CTA West White


Bailey is an athletic guard who excels in transition and is most effective when going downhill. He has a college-ready build and the ability to finish through contact. He is a good shooter from deep and currently has some interest from USport and CCAA programs.


(2026) 6'5 Agrey Baya Athletic Edge


Agrey is an extremely active player who makes plays at both ends of the floor. He has the skill set to aggressively rebound the ball and take it himself through traffic and finish. He plays through contact and is ready to make the leap to the CCAA next season.


(2026) 6' Koeloe Bigplume United Prep


Koeloe is another quick point guard who moves the ball well and makes opposing guards work on offense. He has a good range and will be a player CCAA coaches will want to watch.


(2026) 6' Nash Byam CTA West White


Nash is a quick guard who makes solid plays and will make defenses pay with his ability to knock down shots from everywhere on the floor. He is an opportunistic defender who disrupts opposing guards. He will be a great fit for the USport or CCAA program that takes a chance on him.


(2026) 6'1 Markez Cain CTA West Red


For anyone who hasn't seen Markez, you are missing out on seeing a great point guard and leader who will be an impact player in USports. He competes and leads his CTA team in a manner similar to Munroop Gill's approach last year, and he has been very successful. He is quick and smart, and it is clear he is also a high-level quarterback prospect.


(2026) 6'5 Rohan Dhanoa WCPA National


Rohan can shoot the ball as well as anyone I have seen this year at the Dime Sessions. He is a great on-ball defender and makes plays for his teammates. USport, D2, and JuCo colleges should all be taking a hard look.


(Postgrad) 5'10 Rogan Fry Golden Ticket


Rogan has developed into a point guard who leads and puts his teammates in great positions to succeed. He knocks down open shots and will be a strong depth piece for a CCAA program.


(Postgrad) 6'2 Sarino Fortugno-blake Golden Ticket


Sarino's game has continued to grow, and he has worked hard on his strength and conditioning to prepare for an opportunity in USport or the CCAA. He plays a smart game and attacks defenses. Last session, he had a couple of massive dunks that show how much his game has changed.


(2026) 6' Hunter Furlong Athletic Edge


Hunter is a very good shooter who sets his feet and finds an opening. He is a smart teammate and will be an asset for a CCAA team that needs more shooting.


(2026) 6'6 Owen Gateretse CTA West Red


Owen has demonstrated that he impacts the game in many ways and will fit in well with the right coach. At 6'6, he can guard 4 positions and is comfortable doing a lot of different things on the offensive end. I think he could fit in nicely at D2 or USport, and think some D1 programs may want to take a long look as well.


(2026) 6'1 Cyrus Goulder Athletic Edge


Cyrus has demonstrated incredible athleticism through the first 4 sessions and uses it to score effectively from all 3 levels. He is a good defender who makes the game easier for his teammates. USport, CCAA, and JuCo coaches will want to take a closer look and check in.


(2026) 6' Max Harris WCPA Regional


Max is another great shooter in the WCPA program. He has showcased excellent movement off the ball to get to his spots and be available for teammates. His defensive effort is consistent and high-level. USport and CCAA coaches need to take a hard look at Max.


(2026) 6'4 Bebang Leke One Prep Ovis


Bebang is one of the best athletes in the Dime Sessions and draws significant attention when he plays, typically recording a couple of highlight dunks each game. His game continues to improve, as his range has expanded, and he has a solid handle that allows him to attack from the perimeter. He continues to draw interest from USport, D2, and JuCo programs.


(2026) 6'1 Cashton Mah One Prep Ovis


Cashton is a strong guard with very good athleticism and basketball IQ who consistently makes plays for his teammates. He looks to pass first and is an above-average defender who communicates and keeps his team organized. He has interest from multiple levels and will be an excellent pick-up.


(2026) 6'1 Kom Majok WCPA Regional


Describing Kom as quick and athletic is an understatement. He scores at all three levels and gets to and above the rim with regularity. He is a significantly improved playmaker who sets up his teammates by pushing the pace and creating turnovers on defense. JuCo and USport coaches will want to take a hard look at Kom.


(2026) 6'9 Nathan Markel United Prep


Nathan is an athletic big man who moves well up and down the floor. He is an active rebounder who has good footwork. He protects the rim and changes shots. CCAA coaches looking for size will love this prospect.


(2026) 6'5 Mukungu Mutabazi WCPA National


Mukungu has a game that evolves with each session. He has a good feel for the game, gets to the rim extremely well, and has great size for a guard. His defensive game is evolving and and he has multi-positional versatility. USport, D2, and JuCo's will all want to check in with him.


(2026) 6'2 Jude Ocon FV Mountaineers


Jude has strong physicality in his game and isn't afraid to attack the paint and finish at a high rate. He has shown a high motor every time he steps on the floor, and despite being in several games with a short-handed team, he plays hard at all times. He has been talking with USport and CCAA coaches.


(2026) 6'6 Oscar Rouillard WCPA National


Oscar is a versatile 3-level scorer who has defensive versatility. He has consistently been one of the top shooters in Dime Session. He is another of the many players on WCPA that all levels of coaches should be calling about.


(2026) 6'11 Brayden Savage CTA West White


Brayden is a true big man who plays his size in the paint. He fights for position, seals off defenders, and has a variety of moves to score the ball. He is willing to fight for rebounds and is a presence on defense. He is getting looks from D1, D2, and USport. Coaches will all want him on their roster next year.


(PostGrad) 6'2 Rashawn Tanishayinwe FN


Rashawn is a player whose performance becomes more apparent the more you watch. He has put up some huge games over the first 4 sessions, but they are all due to his ability to out-hustle and outwork everyone else. He will make a CCAA coach very happy next year and will make an impact.


(2026) 6'10 Spencer Tatlock CTA West Red


Spencer is a unique recruit at 6'10 with a high motor and ability to play inside and out. I am impressed by his defensive competitiveness, perimeter guarding, and rim protection. Another prospect attracting D2 and USports attention.


(Postgrad) 6'1 Ty Thomson Regina JV


Ty made an impact in his debut at the dime session with his high motor and physical play. He scored well in the mid-range, knowing exactly what spots he wanted to get to and using his body to get there. CCAA coaches seeking a tough leader should contact Ty.


(2026) 6'5 Grady Wilson Golden Ticket


Grady is another player whose best skill is his effort level. He rebounds, plays defense, and can shoot the ball, and will be a very good wing player in the CCAA, but his ability to do the work and do the work in the paint for his undersized Golden Ticket team speaks to his mentality and character.



These are just a few of the many players coaches will want to monitor over the last 2 sessions. As I mentioned in the opening, there are at least 25-30 more players I could easily have profiled, all of whom need homes from Division 1 down to the CCAA level. All games are broadcast live on YouTube at @TheDimeSessions, and there is an archive of all sessions from this season.


I am available to discuss any players. Just message me @david_harmon on X and @davidharmoncoach on Instagram. If you are attending the sessions, feel free to introduce yourself, and I will try to lead you to the players you will want to see.
