2027 Rankings: Names to Watch

Here are a few players, both from the watch list and newly added to the rankings, who have shown the potential to be big names to know down the line. Check out some names to watch from this update of the 2027 rankings.    Rendall is a long wing who has shown an impressive foundation to build off of in her sophomore year. She has a quick pop off of the catch, gets her feet set and can bury shots in the midrange with regularity as well as stretch the floor from three. Her length also plays a part on the defensive end where she can smother ballhandlers, get tips, and play in the passing lanes. She'll be a player to watch this winter who has a lot of upside.     Sims is a super quick, lefty point guard who already got good minutes last season as a freshman. She is a hound guarding the ball, has the energy and effort to be a real sparkplug, and has showcased the skills to be a really effective point guard in the years to come. She has some nice moves to create space and the quick burst to get down lanes and to the rack.     She's a name who should make a big rise in the next rankings update. Gasseling is a strong post who shows that strength and fight on the glass and can really move defenders out of the way to chase down boards. She moves well off the ball, playing mostly block-to-block but floats to space, finds lanes to dive, and can run in transition. She displays a pretty good IQ on both ends and should see a lot more minutes this season.     Boesel is a pretty physical guard who does a lot for her Brewster squad. She led the way with PPG (18.6), APG (3.3), and was tied for third on the squad with 7.1 RPG. So not only does she set teammates up, she can also score inside and out, and does a great job attacking the glass to get the rock and get her team going the other way. Brewster has a strong team returning this winter and Boesel is in line to follow up a strong freshman year with an even better sophomore season.     Wulf is another Brewster guard with some size and strength who can bring the ball down, space the floor, and attack the glass. She was third on the team in scoring (11.8) and rebounding (7.1), as well as helping spread the ball around with 2.6 APG. She's a real aggressive defender who can body ballhandlers and can play a physical game on both ends of the floor.
