Winter Rankings Update: 2027 Centers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thursday morning, Prep Girls Hoops Indiana posted the Winter update for the Class of 2027. Typically accompanying updates are articles highlighting players on the move, newcomers, and just all-around general information regarding each position group. Below is a look at the top centers in the state of Indiana, followed by some commentary on a handful of prospects who have played well since the Fall update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/position-ranking-table {"name":"acf/position-ranking-table","data":{"class":"2027","_class":"field_65cfb7374abb9","position":"12120","_position":"field_65cfbfcb19ad6","national_rankings":"0","_national_rankings":"field_660c1d73c0e49","state":"1286","_state":"field_65cfb88a603fe"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6970fe4db5c28"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><font color="FFFFFF">.</font></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='932692' first='Riley' last='Roberts'], Floyd Central H.S.</font></strong><br>- I mentioned this on the power forward list, but there are several undervalued frontline prospects in Indiana's 2027 class who come from Southern Indiana. Riley is another talented prospect who could really impress several colleges with her upside. She has double-double potential in her for the next level. She has an athletic frame, length, bounce, fluidity, a quiet toughness, and a motor. She also has skill and touch from 15-feet and in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='1259573' first='Ally' last='Brown'], Whitko H.S.</font></strong><br>- Over the last couple of seasons, Ally has tremendously improved her game. She is extremely long, somewhat bouncy, and by simply getting stronger over the past 15 months, it has helped her play more consistently as a Junior. She is rebounding stronger, finishing through contact better, and she is holding her position longer, both offensively and defensively. While Whitko is talented, she could be a matchup problem during the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='751045' first='Bryanna' last='Gillock'], Whiteland Community H.S.</font></strong><br>- Bryanna is every bit of a traditional post prospect. She has a strong frame, some length, and she does a nice job of establishing herself early on the block each possession. She has soft hands, the ability to finish with post-moves or a short jump-shot over defenders, plus she's an effective box-out style of rebounder. In a world where posts are less common, I like her work ethic and productivity, plus she could develop into a mismatch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='908500' first='Cayleigh' last='Goheen'], Warsaw Community H.S.</font></strong><br>- On a deep and talented Warsaw roster, I wasn't sure where Cayleigh would fall entering the season. However, she has worked her way into a nice role for the Tigers, and she gives them not only good size &amp; strength, but she plays with an outstanding motor at both ends of the floor. She is more athletic than you'd think, she out-hustles everyone, and she figures out ways to be productive. Cayleigh also has some touch facing the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><font size="+1">[player_tooltip player_id='875128' first='Olivia' last='Adams'], Kankakee Valley H.S.</font></strong><br>- Olivia has been a big part of the Kougars' success, and she just continues to improve from year to year. She has a strong frame, broad shoulders, and she seems to love physicality. She will establish herself early, battle with bigger players without hesitation, and she has improved her touch and scoring ability around the rim. Olivia is more of a traditional post, but she does have a solid 15-foot jumper. She will also get out and rim-run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
