2027 – Top 50: Players Poised for a Ranking Breakthrough

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 class is loaded with talent from top to bottom, but a few standouts have a real shot to break through. We've spotlighted some players who could take advantage of their unique opportunities this season and climb into the top 50 in the next rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["938372"],"_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-68c843d7edb75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Super quick and shifty with her left, Lydia brings energy every time she steps on the floor. She's got a solid shot, a great attitude, and plays locked-in defense. If she can slow the game down when the ball's in her hands and scan the floor, she has the tools to elevate her game to the next level. With her length and skill set, she could round out the Yenchik/Ibarra trifecta at Provo—and possibly push her way up the rankings over the next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1242848"],"_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-68cb62f8d86a7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Skyridge lost a good chunk of veteran talent last season, and with one of their key returners sidelined, the roster is wide open for new leaders to emerge. Adalyn has the court vision to thread passes through traffic and the defensive grit to pressure the ball full or half-court. If she capitalizes on the varsity minutes coming her way and keeps sharpening her game, she could be one of the biggest risers in the next rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["825059"],"_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-68c843d7edaf1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rylee might come from a small school, but her impact at Gunnison Valley is anything but. She's quick on the put-backs, can slice past defenders on her drives, and led the team in both points and rebounds last season. With two more years ahead of her, she's on pace to hit the 1,000-point milestone—and if she keeps producing at this level, she could definitely climb the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["796476"],"_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-68c843d7edb34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a wave of 2025's graduating from West Field, the door is wide open for Joley as she transfers in from Fremont for her junior year. She's added a few inches to her frame, which should only enhance her ability to disrupt defenses, and sitting at #77, she's well-positioned to make a jump into the top 50 if she capitalizes on her new role and fresh start. To get there, she'll need to sharpen her speed and agility—but the potential to do it is absolutely there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1248640"],"_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-68cb4fb1129d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'2", Brynn is set to be the anchor for a tough Westlake squad. Her length and wingspan make the paint a no-fly zone, swatting away drives and altering shots before they even get off the ground. She's got that defensive mindset—reading plays early, jumping passing lanes, and cutting off drives before they start. With her size, defensive instincts, and the chance to log heavier minutes this season, she's got a clear path to break into the top 50.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
