2027 Wings and Forwards on the Move

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our scouts have been actively evaluating high school prospects in the months leading up to this rankings update. We have expanded our 2027 class rankings to include 373 total prospects ranked and on the Watch List. These wings and forwards excelled in front of our scouts to earn a higher ranking in the latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751139"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a90ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elle has the length, strength, versatility, and skill that make her a high-caliber wing-forward in this class. Her stock rose considerably over the spring and summer. She consistently stood out at travel tournaments and elite camps, demonstrating proficiency as a perimeter shooter, good footwork inside, and finishing touch at the rim. Elle uses her long arms to block shots and is a physical rebounder. She received an offer from Albion earlier this month and a D2 offer from Lake Superior State in August.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["665472"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a9174"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sam turned in a complete performance at the P2W Headliners Invitational in October and has been on a roll for Divine Child to start the season. She has prototypical length, fundamental skill, and accuracy from the perimeter that make her one of the best wing prospects in the class. Sam finishes with both hands at the rim, disrupts shots on defense, works hard to secure rebounds, handles the ball confidently with either hand, and sees the floor. She's developed a strong frame and looks ready to play at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["898814"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a91cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reece was one of the best forward prospects at the PGH Michigan State Tournament, and she stole the show again at our PGH Expo in September. Reece earned an All-Expo First Team selection, impressing with her athleticism, relentless hustle, dominant rebounding, defensive impact, and strong putbacks. Reece has the range to knockdown three-pointers, switches hands off the dribble, and uses an extra gear to drive by for layups. She picked up an offer from Aquinas in October and Spring Arbor in November. Reece is a double-double machine for Thornapple Kellogg and a high ceiling prospect in this class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["751165"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a9222"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ryenn is a long, mobile, athletic, and versatile forward prospect. She's developed her perimeter game and showed confidence as a three-point shooter when I watched her play for Linden in early December. Ryenn can push the ball up the court using both hands and finish in traffic. She's an excellent post defender, and her length limits scoring chances. Ryenn has good shot-blocking instincts and rebounds the ball at its highest point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["808349"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a9274"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When I saw Colbie compete during the travel season and at Northwood Team Camp, it became clear that she had the qualities of a top 50 prospect. Her long frame, mobility, ability to drive hard to the rim off the dribble, strong finishing, and persistent rebounding set her apart as a next-level forward. Colbie runs the floor well and keeps excellent positioning on defense. She picked up an offer from Spring Arbor in October. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["813599"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a92c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Payton is off to a hot start for Catholic Central. She buried five three-pointers against Rockford to earn Co-MVP honors at the West Michigan Hoop Summit and won another MVP at the Cornerstone Holiday Tournament. Her slashing ability off the dribble, finishing touch in traffic, shot-blocking, and rebounding have caught our attention during the season. Payton looks physically and fundamentally ready to play basketball at the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["912511"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a9318"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucy stood out with [program_tooltip program_id='1244063' first='Great' last='Lakes Grind'] during the travel season, and she's kept that momentum rolling at Buckley. Lucy has length, strength, versatility, and athleticism that give her a high ceiling. She battles for inside positioning and finishes with power after securing offensive boards. Lucy moves her feet well on the defensive end and is a top 50 prospect in this class who hasn't hit her ceiling yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["927993"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a9388"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anna made a quantum-sized leap in the rankings because she has the prototypical athleticism, length, quickness, and versatility that project to a high level of college basketball. She's an explosive downhill driver who can bury three-pointers. Anna can play inside or outside and is aggressive on both ends of the court. She wins rebounding battles and has the potential to keep moving up the charts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["928073"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a93db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amaria has a ton of next-level upside. Her athleticism, length, high motor, finishing ability, and defensive impact stand out on the court. Amaria has quick feet, plays physical inside, and moves well without the ball. She's stepping into a larger role and playing valuable minutes for Tecumseh this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249759"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-695e7f39a942c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peyton was solid at the PGH Michigan State Tournament and the P2W Headliners Invitational. She's physical and strong in the paint, but has the range to step outside and hit three-pointers. Peyton wins rebounding battles, makes smart passes to open teammates, finishes at the rim, and moves well without the ball. She's a hard-nosed and high-effort prospect at Spring Lake.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
