2026 All-HoopSeen Association 17U Second Team

August 13, 2026

The 2026 HoopSeen travel season is officially in the books and, as usual, the depth of talent was fun and impressive. Our staff debated, deliberated and now delivers our Second Team All-HSA for the season. These five players came through in a big way for their respective team and program and stand at the top as some of the best players in independent travel basketball.

Rylan Wahl- HoopAthens - There are certain guys you watch throughout a circuit and eventually you just know what you’re going to get from them. Rylan Wahl became one of those guys for me this year. The 6-foot-5 guard was a steady presence for HoopAthens and found ways to leave his fingerprints all over games. What always caught my eye with Wahl was how naturally the game came to him. He never looked rushed or like he was hunting numbers. He could get downhill, use his size around the rim, make the extra pass and step up when HoopAthens needed a play. The big guard is also a knock down shooter from the perimeter. The more I watched him, the more I appreciated his game. He was just a winning basketball player all year, and when it came time to put together our All-HSA group, Wahl had done more than enough to earn his name on it. 

Marciano Bruno- HoopGwinnett 85 - I’ve probably used the word motor every time I’ve written about Marciano Bruno this year, and there’s a reason for that. The kid just plays hard. Bruno brought an edge to HoopGwinnett 85 that you could feel when he was on the floor. Loose ball? He was around it. Missed shot? He was crashing. Need somebody to defend, run the floor or bring some life into the game? Bruno was usually the guy doing it. But as the year went along, I started seeing more than just the energy. There’s some real game there too. He can attack, finish through contact and use his athleticism on both ends. Every team needs a guy like Bruno, and HoopGwinnett had one of the best versions of that on our circuit. He earned this one.

Ayden Glenn - Tennessee Tigers - Man, Ayden Glenn was fun to watch this year. The lefty has some juice to his game, and once he gets comfortable, you can tell pretty quickly that you’re dealing with a different type of guard. Glenn can score it, but it’s the way he gets to his spots that always stood out to me. He’s crafty, has a quick first step and knows how to play with pace. Give him a lane and he’s getting downhill. Give him space and he’s comfortable making you pay. And for a guard, he goes and gets rebounds like he has something personal against the ball hitting the floor. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it: He’s an impact guy at the next level. Glenn gave us plenty of flashes throughout the HSA season, and I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him yet.

Trey Bright- Team Global Elite - Trey Bright was one of those names that kept finding its way into my notes this season. At some point, that stops being a coincidence. Every time I caught TGE, Bright seemed to have a stretch where he made me look down and type something. Maybe it was a tough bucket, a big play or him simply taking control when his team needed somebody to do it. That’s what I came to appreciate about his game. Bright wasn’t afraid to go make something happen. He played with confidence, competed and had a knack for showing up in moments that mattered. When you’re picking five guys from an entire circuit, talent is obviously part of it, but so is impact. He’s arguably one of the most ready guys to have a day 1 impact at the next level. Bright made his presence felt enough times this year that leaving him off would’ve been hard to justify.

Monte Colvin- Devin Butts Elite Welch - If Monte Colvin saw an opening this year, he was going through it. Simple as that. Colvin was one of the better downhill guards I watched on our circuit, and I loved how committed he was to putting pressure on the paint. Some guards dance with the ball forever trying to create something pretty. Monte wanted to get by you. He played with pace, got his shoulders past defenders and constantly forced defenses to react to him. That’s where so much of his value came from for DBE Welch. Colvin’s energy was always felt and you can tell it motivated his guys. He was known as a lockdown defender on the circuit, constantly forcing turnovers and creating instant offense. He didn’t just have good weekends—he made his presence felt throughout the circuit, and that’s what put him on this All-HSA team.
