Class of 2027: New Additions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After updating the Class of 2027 rankings, we have a few tasks to complete before moving forward. Today, we're looking at a few stock risers and new additions to the Top 100 of the 2027 class. I feel that the talent at the top of the Class, and the depth of the Class, is starting to figure things out, and it could end up being a more talented group than initially thought.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1219523' first='Avery' last='Richard']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Platteville guard is a player I was impressed with during the high school season, and was more impressed watching her play with Team Compete. Richard is a physical backcourt player who can protect the ball with her body and use her strength to get to her spots when smaller guards try defending her. She has done a little of everything for the Hillmen the last few seasons and is a player who can compete at the scholarship level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='751240' first='Autumn' last='Crowe']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crowe was a productive player for the St. Mary Catholic team that made a run to the D4 State Championship last season. However, I still felt her role was limited. I thought she looked much better in her AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='713328' first='Team' last='1848'] and was a more dynamic player on the offensive end of the floor. Crowe looked comfortable putting the ball on the floor, attacking the basket, and finishing through contact. I thought she was the most consistent player in her group over the last few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1275661' first='Jordan' last='Ohman']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Menomonie guard is a player I thought was solid over the last year. However, from when I watched her play in Louisville, I was blown away by how she played. I saw her play twice on the last day of Run 4 Roses, and she was a standout in both games she played. Ohman is an athletic and physical player who can get to her spots on the offensive end of the floor. She is also a player who can knock down difficult shots and make them look easy. The Mustang may not be a prominent name right now, but it is one for regional schools to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217182' first='Bailey' last='Nelson']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monona Grove had a fresh look to their team last season. The Silver Eagles had a new coach, new rotational players, and a new dynamic. However, this summer, [player_tooltip player_id='1217182' first='Bailey' last='Nelson'] seemed to make a turn in her development. Like every other Nelson, Bailey plays hard on both ends of the floor. She's been more aggressive with the ball in her hands and has been a dynamic player on the offensive end of the floor. She could make a jump next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
