Class of 2027 - Meet the Top Five

Most of the 2027 top five players tower well above the six-foot mark, but what truly separates them is not just their size — it's their skill, versatility, and potential. Each one already displays the kind of talent that college programs are keeping a close eye on, even though none have locked in their commitments yet. That's perfectly fine, given they're only heading into their junior year.    Abigail is one of those players who brings both energy and efficiency to every game she plays. At 6'2”, she has the physical presence to dominate inside, but what makes her special is her versatility — she's equally comfortable stepping out and knocking down mid-range shots. Abigail's motor is relentless; she's constantly crashing the boards, running the floor, and creating second-chance opportunities.   Abigail's improvement curve over the past year has been impressive. Her confidence with the ball and leadership presence are emerging, and she's starting to look more and more like a player who can impact the game at the next level.     [player_tooltip player_id='825055' first='Grace' last='Gallagher'] is one of the most dominant interior players in the state, blending size, athleticism, and skill in a way that's rare at the high school level. At 6'3”, she's not just tall — she's mobile, coordinated, and confident in every area of the floor. Grace commands the paint defensively with elite shot-blocking timing and positioning. Her 139 blocks last season speak for themselves — she's a true rim protector.   As she continues to refine her footwork and expand her offensive range, she's already proving to be a Division I-caliber player and one of Utah's most complete posts in her class.     Abby typically plays outside of the traditional center role, but her versatility allows her to adapt wherever she's needed. During the Top 50 event this past weekend, she showcased her athleticism — particularly her vertical jumping ability and strength in sealing defenders in the post. Her timing and footwork stood out, making her presence in the paint both effective and entertaining to watch. Abby's combination of length, explosiveness, and positional awareness gives her the flexibility to impact the game from multiple spots on the floor.     Mahala showed steady growth in rebounding and shot-blocking last season, averaging around 7.7 boards and 1.3 blocks per game. What's even more impressive is how she's not just staying in the post. She's getting mobile, attending camps, and extending her game out beyond 15 feet with more consistency, which boosts her versatility and appeal to college programs.   Offensively, Mahala uses her length and timing to finish strong at the rim and grab second-chance buckets. Defensively, she's already showing the instincts of a rim protector. With another offseason of refinement and a full varsity slate ahead, she's one to keep locked in on the radar.     As the only player in the top five standing under 6'0", Zuri proudly represents the guards of her class. She plays with a low center of gravity that gives her incredible balance and control, allowing her to handle the ball with finesse and precision. What truly sets her apart, though, is her pull-up jumper — a weapon that has sealed more than a few games at the buzzer. Zuri combines confidence, court awareness, and clutch shot-making, proving that size isn't everything when it comes to commanding the floor.
