2027 Player Rankings Update: Stock-Risers In The Top 75

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's always really exciting when prospects move in and around the Top 75 within these grade levels. In this Update we had several moves occur within the Top 75, including adding a number of prospects that have been doing really well this last few months on the road during AAU season following their Junior year of high school ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below we highlight some of those individuals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1143194"],"_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-6a4275c0c80d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sira Doumbia is the biggest stock riser within the Top 75 in this Update as she moves from #39 into the Top 20 and the main reason for that is because of her production the last few months mixed with the interest from the college level that she is starting to bring in. Doumbia stands out. Metaphorically and literally at 6'3. Her size and muscular frame has been too much for most others to deal with near the post and that helps her produce on both ends as a scoring threat and as a lock down defender. At this rate Doumbia is going to go from no offers last year, to a handful of D1 and D2 offers this year. An impressive jump for someone moving into their Senior season but one that is not too shocking when you look at all the variables in from of us. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["833953"],"_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-6a4275c0c81a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second biggest stock-riser out of this Class within this Update is Callie Hales and again, this occurs because Hales recruitment is really starting to heat up with some D1 programs showing interest. We have always been big fans of Hales but this last year has been sensational for the next-level PG. Hales isn't just leading her teams by example, she is continuing to grow in the game and get better. She continues to make the right plays coming down the floor in almost every situation and she has some DAWG in her. She isn't afraid to give her opponents a bump or to let them know that she is there and that she is going to be there all game long. All in all, a lot to like out of Hales as a next level prospect. She has what it takes to make it to that level. From there, who knows what is possible. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["923916"],"_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-6a4275c0c8246"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lizzie Beam is one of the most well rounded hoopers that this 2027 Class possesses with her ability to score, rebound, defend, and move all around the court. She can be your starting 2 or 3 as someone who can get buckets, she can move to the 4 with her size difference at times and with her ability to spread things out, and she is always willing to do what is best for the team in the grand scheme of things. These three things all combined to make up a player that everyone wants on their team. We witnessed Beam kill it at our PGH event in DSM last Fall before the season began and then she led them to a 5A State appearance. I wouldn't be shock if the same two things happen this upcoming Fall and Winter. She has looked on her toes on the road this AAU season so I don't think we should expect anything different.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["677843"],"_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-6a4275c0c8308"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm excited to see what Hayden Kuhlmann of Spirit Lake does during her Senior season at Spirit Lake. She has been a staple within this program for years now, making plays and producing as one of their top players for the last three seasons at the PG position. The best way to talk about Kuhlman's game is that she makes those around her better with her ability to move and create off of the dribble into the teeth of defenses. She loves to kill her opponent as she plays with pace moving down the court, attacking at tough angles that usually lead her into open looks or assists near the basket. In this Update Kuhlman moves up a few spots on our list. Nothing crazy but any movement at this point is notable within a deep Class like this.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1579341"],"_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-6a4275c0c83dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We need to see the dominance out of Brooklyn Rutledge that she is possible of this upcoming season. Rutledge was St. Albert's most athletic prospect last season and she will be their most athletic prospect this season. She has better than average coordination for her position. She has natural height at over 6'0. She is one of those players that floats in the air whenever she jumps for an outback or rebound attempt. All while being a monster defensively because of her help-side abilities. This St. Albert group should be right back in the 1A State Title conversation this next season and Rutledge could be leading the charge if she plays with full confidence in her work. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
