2027 Player Rankings Update – Varsity Producers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the high school season just getting underway this past week, there isn't going to be a ton of movement throughout the rankings during this update, especially in the younger classes as there is still a lot to learn about each player and their role moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the article below, I am going to highlight a handful of players out of the 2027 Class, that have put up some nice numbers at the varsity level, throughout their first game or first few games of the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751925"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"In the first game of her high school career, [player_tooltip player_id='751925' first='T'Niyah' last='Wilson-Smith'] registered a major stat line. She scored 16 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, and poked away 6 steals on the way to her team getting the victory. It's really early on but Wilson-Smith is going to be a household name over the next few years. She has natural size and good knowledge of the game, everything else will come with more experience at the varsity level. As for the first game of her high school career though, this was definitely a good showing to begin with moving forward. Her skill set is already at a high level and it's only going to go up from here.

Not to mention, all the intangible energy she is bringing to the hardwood. If there is ever a loose ball on the floor or going into the stands, Lewis makes her best effort to be the first one there. Another factor to note is that in both of these events, Lewis and her team has secured the victory, starting off their season at 2-0. Hopefully they can keep this momentum moving as we getting further into the season. As for Lewis individually, she has a bright future. She just needs to keep working on the correct things and display her high motor on every possession. If she does that, she will continue to have stat lines like this and her team will continue to find success.

Rutjens scored 17 PPG in her first contest on 5 of 8 shooting. She also grabbed 7 rebounds and passed around 4 assists. Just like everyone else listed in this article, the progress of Rutjens game over the next few seasons is going to be the major key as to where she can end up at the next level, if that's her goal. As of this very moment, you can't deny the production or effort she is giving you. She does the little things right, which leads to major success for her team as a whole. If she can continue this some production all season long and the others around her take care of business, this Elkhorn Valley squad is going to have a memorable season.

In her first varsity contest for Elkhorn South, Probasco scored 20 Points in her teams victory. She also added a handful of other stats but most importantly, she looked the part. A huge component of evaluating players is their u0022feelu0022 for the game. She has a good size, great athleticism, and exceptional u0022feelu0022 for the game. From everything I've seen, we are going to be hearing a lot more about Probasco over this next few months. She has some talent and I can't wait to see what that flourishes into by the end of this season.

Her mixture of size, skill, and physicality is next level. She is learning more and more each day as she gets more experience and yet, she is still producing quality numbers in the meantime. This is the type of player that really has the sky as the limit from everything she has displayed so far. I'm curious how high her ceiling will be in the end but as of right now, she is on clear path to having a successful career on the court. That's for sure.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656f43292fc55"} /-->
