2027 Small Forward Update

Last Tuesday, we released the Summer update for the Class of 2027 rankings. Circling back around, below is a quick look at the small forwards who were included in either the Top 75 or the 85-player watch list. Below that are any newcomers to the position group when we updated the list this time around, plus a couple of stock-risers.    .   NEWCOMERS    Lily is an extremely long, wiry, and potentially still-growing wing prospect who has steadily grown each year. She entered high school with guard skill, and now she can fulfill a point forward type of role for the Lady Tigers. She is a fairly fluid athlete, she plays hard, and she tries to be physical inside. What's most impressive is her ability to handle the ball, see the floor, and find open teammates at her size. She could be in line for a big role at Fishers this year.     Allison is someone who caught my attention earlier this Spring, and after seeing her at a couple of different events, she has continued to play consistently and bring productivity to her team. She has some length, an athletic frame, and she plays with some speed plus a little bounce. She is very active and contributes at both ends of the floor, whether it's scoring it from each level, pursuing rebounds, or defending bigger guards, wings, and forwards.    .   STOCK-RISERS    Eva is one of only a couple of Varsity performers for the Spartans who won't be in their loaded 2026 or 2028 classes. She is very long, fluidly athletic, and she has gotten noticeably stronger. She always plays with a strong motor, she has become an effective defender, plus she has typically been a capable shooter/scorer over the years. Her ability to play multiple roles will not only help her opportunity at Homestead, but it has also helped her recruiting.     Since I saw her last Summer, Etta has grown a little, she has gotten stronger, and she is playing with a lot more versatility. She has turned into a really nice small college prospect who I think most of the elite Midwestern schools would like. She has an athletically strong frame, nice length, and she moves/changes directions well. She can handle it in transition, score it from the perimeter or mid-post, plus she defends with versatility and will mix it up/rebound inside.
