After updating the Class of 2027 rankings, we have a few tasks to complete before moving forward. Today, we're looking at a few stock risers and new additions to the Top 100 of the 2027 class. I feel that the talent at the top of the Class, and the depth of the Class, is starting to figure things out, and it could end up being a more talented group than initially thought.   [player_tooltip player_id='874383' first='Brianna' last='Breese']   The Notre Dame forward didn't start her sophomore season as a prominent contributor in the Tritons' rotation. The second Breese had an opportunity to prove herself; she took it and ran with it. She was a double-double threat who could play physically around the basket and space the floor as a shooter. She isn't the focal point of either high school or AAU team, but she could be a player who surprises whoever lands her at the next level.   [player_tooltip player_id='915005' first='Courtney' last='Monroe']   Whenever Monroe has the ball in her hands, good things happen on the offensive end of the floor. The Mount Horeb guard has a high Basketball IQ and sees the floor as well as anyone. Monroe is a pass-first guard who will help her team compete at a high level and maximize the potential of her teammates. The Viking could have a breakout season in the Badger-Small.   [player_tooltip player_id='986163' first='Tatum' last='Meinen']   The Muskego wing/forward has proven to be an excellent floor-spacer who can contribute to winning wherever she plays. Meinen can step out and knock down shots from anywhere behind the three-point line, and will draw defenders out to her. The Muskego native can also attack aggressive closeouts off the dribble and make things happen when attacking downhill. The more I've watched her play over the last few seasons, the more highly I've thought of her.   [player_tooltip player_id='1228363' first='Madeline' last='Volpe']   The Whitefish Bay guard is a scrappy, undersized player who hustles on both ends of the floor. She makes the most of what she has and isn't afraid of the moment in the slightest. Volpe has made massive shots late in games. Her ability to play either guard spot, defend on the perimeter, and create live-ball turnovers on the defensive end will have significant value for a program at the next level, if she continues to play. Her size will be something that impresses coaches at the next level, but she will make a staff at the next level happy when she arrives.
