2027's New Ranking Release - A Look At The Top 5

With the updated rankings released this past week, the top five are there for good reason. Each of these players has backed up their placement with production, consistency, and impact on both ends of the floor. They aren't just stat leaders—they're difference-makers whose presence changes the rhythm, confidence, and outcome of games.    Abby sits at the top because she checks every box: length, court awareness, scoring versatility, and defensive disruption. She can guard all five positions, alters shots with her timing, and controls the glass on both ends. Offensively, she leads her team in scoring not just through post play, but with a smooth mid-range touch, smart cuts, and the ability to face up and attack. What separates her even further is how she elevates the players around her—she draws attention, makes the right reads, and creates opportunities. As the reigning PGH Ms. Basketball with two more years ahead, she's proving game after game why she's the most complete player in her class.     Mahala already checks many of the boxes you want in a high-school post: size, rebound prowess, finishing ability, and defensive upside. She's more than a project — she's a cornerstone for Wasatch's immediate and near-term success. She has the potential to become one of the top bigs in Utah's 2027 class. She'll be a force for the next few years, anchoring Wasatch's paint on both ends and giving them a chance to compete with the top wings and forwards across the region.     Standing 6′3″, she still displays coordination and mobility — qualities that add value in high school, where quicker, more athletic wings can stretch interior play. She gives Hunter a legitimate interior anchor — someone who can rebound, defend, and finish, while also being mobile enough to adapt to different lineups.     Abby is the kind of player who puts up nearly as many rebounds as she does points — a true two-way presence. She has a smooth midrange touch and knows how to seal defenders in the paint, creating easy catch-and-finish opportunities on lob entries. What really separates her is her lift — whether it's the opening tip or going after boards, her ability to get off the floor gives her an edge over most players at her position.     As the only top-five player under the six-foot mark, Leah proves that impact isn't just about size — it's about skill, IQ, and versatility. She's far more than just a scorer. Leah runs the offense with poise, takes on primary ball-handling responsibilities, and distributes effectively, helping Maple Mountain break pressure and stay composed in tight-game situations. Offensively, she's a three-level threat — able to score off the drive, attack the mid-range, hit outside shots, and finish in traffic. That complete scoring package makes her extremely difficult to game-plan against and a constant problem for opposing defenses.
