Why These Class of 2027 Players Rose in The New Rankings Update

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Class of 2027 is one of the hardest groups to rank, and we are open to being wrong as it continues to take shape. These are&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/illinois/rankings/2027-watch-list/">COLLEGE PROSPECT RANKINGS</a>, </strong>not a list of who the best high school player is<strong>. </strong>This update reflects real movement based on offers and consistency, not box score chasing. High school stats hold no weight unless they are backed by consistent performance against high level competition. Film, live evaluations, and conversations with college coaches, AAU directors, and high school coaches helped clarify the separation. Offers matter. You are where you are being recruited.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Below are a couple of prospects who earned their rise.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743590"],"_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-6956a599ccf03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>A college frame before entering that level is looked at as an easier path to develop to succeed at the next level.

A solid playmaker as well. Defensively, she's active on the boards and has strong instincts in the passing lanes and when she's guarding on ball. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["743587"],"_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-6956a599ccf8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><em>Kritzer will be a defensive anchor at this level and the next, no matter what level she's headed to.

Offensively, she has some more time to get added to her skillset, but as of now, she's as impactful as she needs to be when the possession is focused on her.
