2027 Player Rankings Update: Top Five

This most recent Update has a few changes with prospects moving all around on the Ranking board. We are coming off of an AAU season that just ended and now we have had the chance to see what prospects can do for another year at the Varsity level.    In this piece we highlight the new Top Five for the 2027 Class prior to this Winter. Each player brings a unique talent to the floor and they each possess the ability to compete at the next level if they so choose.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='747245' first='Addison' last='Medeck'] is the only prospect out of the 2027 Class in Nebraska that holds multiple P4 offers at this time moving into her Junior season of high school ball. Medeck is a Post, that all coaches love to work with. She is dominant with her back to the basket offensively, while being a defensive stopper inside the middle of the lane with her mixture of height and physicality. With another solid year under her belt on the road, Medeck is ready to put together a complete high school over the next six months. If she continues to build on her game, someone at the D1 level is going to be pretty lucky when she ends up committing but for now she will hold onto our #1 spot for this Class.     The next eight months is going to be telling for Tink Wilson-Smith. Wilson-Smith competes as a Swiss-army knife. During high school ball, she is her team's PG, who has to run offense and make things happen when her group's system might break down. In AAU ball, she received a lot of iso-situations on the block with her advantage of size, skill, and swiftness. She demonstrated that she can bully anyone who is smaller than her by the bucket but she can also square up and hit a jumper whenever she feels necessary. If Tink can put up some more impressive numbers this Winter as her team wins, she should continue to get collegiate looks until she commits.     We should see [player_tooltip player_id='719887' first='KayTee' last='Irons'] lead Lincoln Southwest in most positive statistical categories this Winter at the Varsity level. Irons is a smaller PG that is extremely skilled as a Pass-First type. She understands the X's and O's of the game, she knows how to play off of two feet on both sides of the ball, and she can heat up in a hurry if she see's one of her shots fall early in a contest. Defensively, she is extremely calculated, always getting tips and deflections on the ball because of her mixture of active hands and quick feet in the open court. In this Update, Irons will continue to hold onto the #3 spot moving into this Winter. She is coming off of a successful AAU season with her ETG Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] program and she is ready to keep that momentum rolling as things move forward.     [player_tooltip player_id='865482' first='Alijah' last='Stabler'] at Lincoln Northeast is going to put on a show this Winter to anyone that might be evaluating or interested in recruiting her. Stabler is a born leader. She competes with a great head on her shoulders and she is always willing to sacrifice for the good of those around her. Other than that, Stabler is really talented with the rock in her hands. She knows how to get to her spots and she knows what she does best with the talent around her. At the next level, I could see this being someone that could see playing time right away because she will be able to help you without being a liability. That's a huge pro from a coaching perspective. She does currently possess a few offers from the college level but I'm sure that list will continue to grow with time.     I believe that [player_tooltip player_id='893265' first='Zoe' last='Beveridge'] is the type that would be able to compete at the D1 level at a steady rate if given the opportunity. Beveridge can lead by orchestrating those around her with the ball in her hands as her team's PG and captain but she can also work off the ball and light the nets on fire with her long-range shooting ability from deep. Beveridge is very good and very underrated. Like I mentioned, her range is limitless at this point off both the catch and dribble, all while being very creative on how she leads the others around her. She can also defend her position at a high rate and rebound thoroughly. Every college in the state of Nebraska should have offered someone like this by now and I'm sure Beveridge is ready to prove that this Winter at Gothenburg High School.
