Scout Report

The 2026 recruiting class is beginning to take shape, and shooting guards with upside are always in high demand at the next level.

Background

Donte Whitaker is developing his game at Eleanor Roosevelt in California, where he's working to establish himself as one of the notable prospects in the Class of 2026. As an underclassman, he's still early in his high school journey with plenty of time to develop his skills and gain exposure on the recruiting circuit. The California prep scene is competitive, providing Whitaker with quality competition to test his abilities against.

Playing Style

As a shooting guard, Whitaker is working to develop the versatility that college coaches covet in today's game. His position suggests he's focusing on perimeter skills, ball-handling, and the ability to create scoring opportunities both for himself and teammates. At the prep level, shooting guards need to demonstrate range from beyond the arc while also showing they can attack the basket and finish through contact. The development of his two-way impact will be crucial as he continues to mature physically and mentally.

Recruitment

With no reported offers yet, Whitaker is in the early stages of his recruitment as a 2026 prospect. The next two years will be critical for gaining exposure through AAU play, camp circuits, and strong high school performances. As colleges begin to evaluate the 2026 class more heavily, consistent improvement and standout performances could put him on recruiting radars.
