2027 Player Rankings Update: Five Prepared Post Players

In this article we highlight five prospects out of the 2027 Class that compete at the Post position. Each player is someone that stands at 5'10 or above and they have shown off some respectable skill up until this point in their high school Varsity careers.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='832196' first='Graclyn' last='Eastman'] is a Top-10 ranked prospect out of her 2027 Class and the #4 rated Small Forward at this point in the process. Eastman is going to join up with her Bishop Garrigan High School team again this Winter and I'm sure she is going to put some numbers while doing so. Eastman is a Forward that stands at 6'0, she is fairly athletic of her size, and she has that mixture of coordination of touch and balance that all coaches love to see. With anyone out of this 2027 Class, their progression over the next few years is what is most important. With the natural gifts that Eastman already possesses, if the skill-side of the game continue to expand, she is going to a producer at the collegiate level in some form/facet before you know it.     CR- Jefferson High School has one of the states premier Post prospects out of the 2027 Class in the form of Lille Spicer. Spicer is a 6'0 Power Forward, that can eat up space and dominate inside the lane at a higher rate than most. What sets Spicer apart from others is not just her height but her physicality. She is not afraid to mix it up with anyone else that might be bigger and she is always the first to "lay the lumber", welcoming contact in the paint at a high rate. Spicer falls into a certain category for me. A category of, how good could see really be? If she finds the right motivation and continues to understand her future potential, she could be a top producer against any team over these next three years.     One of the tallest players that the state of Iowa has to offer is 6'2 - Power Forward, [player_tooltip player_id='686893' first='Cassidy' last='Danburg'] of Waukee NW High School. Danburg has more height than most, she is knowledgable at knowing where the basketball is going to come off of the rim on a missed shot for a rebound, and she gets down the floor in a hurry for her size. Danburg and Waukee NW are going to be a problem with the correct guidance over the next couple of seasons. They bring in [player_tooltip player_id='880911' first='Victoria' last='Burpo'], who is another 6'0 Post and they will also return some producing guards from years past as well. All things considered, watch out of the Wolves. They are going to win a lot of games this next six months and a big reason for that will be because of Danburg and company.     [player_tooltip player_id='881974' first='Emma' last='Zabel'] of Jesup High School took the Varsity floor as a Freshman and stood out among most, quite literally. Zabel is a 6'0 Center, that maneuvers around the paint, protecting it on the defensive end and scoring in it with her back to the basket on offense. What Zabel has, that makes her different then the others on this list is that she has a plethora of counter-moves out of the Post and she is aware of when to use them if she is ever cut off. You can imagine that makes her extremity hard to guard, considering that she is 6'0 and taller than most already. Jesup High School is on the up and up. They always put together memorable seasons and I think that this Winter could be the same once again.     When you talk about [program_tooltip program_id='712577' first='Iowa' last='Prep'] and their AAU Basketball program, you always talk about a program that does things the right way. They take what they are given, they have solid coaching to back them up, they play for one another, and they always seem to play with a positive attitude - no matter the situation. A prospect for this program, that I've seen some promise out of moving into this Winter is [player_tooltip player_id='885127' first='Izabella' last='Farley'] of Independence High School. Farley is a 5'10 Forward with some versatility. She seems more comfortable going toward the hoop during her team's offensive action and that's okay. During high school ball, Farley competes with Independence High School and as a Freshman, she put up a respectable season. She will returning this Winter trying to build on that. Something that is definitely doable.
