2027 Player Rankings Update: Five Starters This Upcoming Winter

These five players that are spoken about below will all be starters and big minute prospects for the 2026-2027 High School season within their respective programs. Not only will they be starters and big minutes players. They also have the chance to be their team's leading producer in certain positive statistical categories if they do things right.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    Watching [player_tooltip player_id='765744' first='Trinity' last='Whitefeather'] compete is electric. She gets down the floor in a hurry, she makes meaningful plays as a pass first PG with her vision and creation, and she doesn't turnover the ball a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. She can also make open jumpers when the ball is rotated back to her with her fundamental shot form from deep. When you are a smaller PG like this, no matter what, you have to be go-getter on defense. You have to cause chaos and you have to make your opponents feels the pressure throughout the entire length of the court. Whitefeather does a great job of that. She sticks on her matchup like white on rice and that's going to be on full display this AAU season for one more go around with NE Attack AAU.     This upcoming Winter is going to be the best chance for us to see the true form of CG - [player_tooltip player_id='1213363' first='Addison' last='Glass']. Glass has been a significant piece to her team's success the past couple of years at Hinton. She moves around the 3 and 4 spot, moving inside to out on the offensive side of the ball. She can defend the 2-5 on the high school floor, basically only having issues with smaller, quicker PG's that she might have to switch onto but with her length at 5'10 she can also get stops against that position as well. Glass could be a college level athlete one day within the right system. She has done a lot of good the past few years on the way to 2A State Title and she is still growing in the game, which is promising to see from afar.     Another fast and ferocious competitor, that should have some highlights this Spring on the road, is PG - [player_tooltip player_id='832213' first='Lizzy' last='Mason'] of Keokuk High School. Mason, the 5'6 SG, is coming off of a high school season where she was her team's leader-in-motion. All the action that came on the floor, was usually set up by Mason in one way or another. She demonstrated that she is a very good player off of the ball with the ability to score at a high clip. She can also facilitate to those around her when defenders decide to throw more than one defender at her during a possession. I hope that Mason can build off of this past season. She put some notable games together and I expect more of the same on the road over the next couple of months.     The numbers that Crystal Peck have averaged over the past couple of season is eye-opening. Peck is someone that knows how to produce on offense, while being sound and able to hold her own on defense. She might not play for the biggest school but you still have to show up every game to produce and that's when Peck has done the past few seasons. We have see Peck put together Winter's like this time and time again. She is relentless on both sides of the floor and that's notable just from looking at her numbers alone. This last season she averaged a double-double in points-rebounds with 17.8 PPG-10.1 RPG. Making her one of the only players in the State to average a double-double last season.     In recent past we have seen moments where [player_tooltip player_id='889729' first='Rylee' last='Rasmussen'] did her part. This last high school season, Rasmussen got more playing time being someone older within her team's system. I'm expect this trend to continue moving forward into next season as well. To the point where Rasmussen should see the floor a whole heck of a lot over the next twelve months when she laces up her kicks as a Senior. When you evaluate RR, you see the length and the mental capacity. She understands the game better than most and she has length. It's really going to come down to continued experience over time. She should be a big-minute player this AAU Spring season as well so as long as she keeps that confidence under her belt, she should be someone we continue to hear about moving through the rest of 2026.
