2027 Rankings: Rising Juniors

Radinovic is a prospect who clearly keeps stacking days, because she's seemingly improved in every viewing. Very capable scorer and rebounder on the block. While steadily adding to her game. Becoming a stretch four with good shooting touch in the mid-range and from three. Also very mobile when it comes to running the floor and even capable of moving her feet to stay with perimeter players on defense. Oral Roberts has offered, and she's a no brainer for that level. Two productive years of high school ball, now high level regional AAU production. All while still improving, what's not to like?     One of the top defenders in the class, Carey is an example of doing the little things to add up to a big impact. She's tough on defense. From working hard off the ball to deny passes, to making life tough for opposing ball handlers. All while racking up plenty of steals. Good secondary scoring on offense. Will knock down open looks for three, cut to the basket. And of course run the floor hard for transition points.     Next up for a family that is no stranger to producing D1 ballers is the 2027 standout from Mustang. Was a key part of the swarming, non stop defense for the Class 6A runner up Lady Broncos. She also found her spots to score, including mid-range and drives to the basket. But like all Haywood family members, she often hangs her hat on her outstanding defensive principles. Looks ready to take a big jump as a junior. As a key part of a Mustang team that should stay among the top contenders in Class 6A.     Regier has next level size and athleticism, and has consistently produced over the last calendar year. During Bethany's run to the Class 4A State Tournament, she was a double double threat. Playing even bigger than her size due to athleticism and determination. While this spring, her all around game has caught the eye of other contributors in the PGH network. Quite possibly could be too low based on her spring production, combined with long term potential. Especially if she's going to shoot the ball at a high clip from outside.     A key theme on this list of prospects who keep improving is motor and athleticism. Downey is a natural athlete, with a plus wingspan. Those traits make her disruptive on defense, which will be the first thing that stands out to college coaches. But she has also turned the corner this calendar year as a scorer. Her scoring touch has improved at all three levels. Active, fluid athletes like her, often find homes at the next level. And keep rising.     Parham is a straight up bucket getter, who made waves during the Class A playoffs. Then she kept it up this spring. Plays with an edge. Gets paint touches, to score herself or set up teammates for good looks. Pushes the tempo in transition as well. Strong perimeter shooter, who can heat up in a hurry. Impressive small town guard, who appears to have skillset and mentality to be a college player.
