Under The Radar No More: Trending Up In 2027 rankings

With the release of the new 2027 rankings, many players have shown significant improvement since our last update. Some moved up a few spots, while others made major jumps. Here are a few players who may have been under the radar but are now trending upward in both the rankings and their recognition.      [player_tooltip player_id='755322' first='Acelia' last='Beals'] of Charlotte High School has been on a tear this season. With a young team, most didn't expect them to be competing for a district championship, but Beals has played a huge role in their success. Her ability to put the team on her shoulders and do whatever is needed proves she is one of the best combo guards in the state. The sophomore is leading the team in points at 15.1 PPG and assists at 3.0 APG, showcasing both skill and leadership.     Naya Hardison moves into the top six after previously being ranked in the top 20—and she has earned it. The sophomore has faced tough competition all season while still averaging 17.7 PPG and shooting an impressive 55% from the field. However, scoring isn't even the most exciting part of her game. Her ability to run the point guard position like a pro is unique, not just because of her passing ability but also her skill in controlling the offense, whether in the half-court or in transition. By the end of the summer, she could add to her list of offers and potentially move into the top five.     [player_tooltip player_id='221593' first='Yinuo' last='Wang'](Cover photo) continues to improve every time we see her play. Competing on one of the top teams in the state and facing one of the toughest schedules, she has proven she can score when needed, even alongside a starting lineup full of Division I collegiate players. Wang also has the ability to run the show, demonstrating versatility that few players possess. Her ability to adapt to her role game by game showcases her all-around skill set, and she will only continue to get better as she remains a pivotal part of one of the state's top teams.     [player_tooltip player_id='873952' first='Ellie' last='Bross'] has been a breakout player at Calvary in Clearwater. The 6'0" sophomore plays with a combination of physicality and skill, making her game smooth and effective. She hustles for loose balls, makes all the effort plays, and has a strong set-shot form. Ellie has played a pivotal role in Calvary's winning season this year. She is very decisive when putting the ball on the floor, whether she is looking to shoot or pass. Ellie will be a consistent stock riser in the coming years, and there is no ceiling to where her game can go.     [player_tooltip player_id='874205' first='E'mani' last='Pryor'] is one of the most impressive players you'll see. Her stature will catch your attention first, followed by her skill and athleticism, and her attention to detail on the defensive end makes her a rare talent in the post, always in the right position. Pryor is averaging 11.4 PPG this season and 7.4 rebounds per game. She's the type of player who can immediately make any team better. As Pryor continues to progress and improve with every game, she has the potential to become one of the top five players in the state.
