Class of 2027: Watch List Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have compiled some to tier talent across the country from coast to coast. These players that we have listed will be must watch players. Here is a sneak peak of a few of those players that will hit this list. With a variety of outstanding players across the country make sure and keep us in the loop if we missed anyone. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best aspects that young players can work on as they develop is their footwork. <strong>Jamal McKnight Jr.</strong> out of Maryland has some of the best footwork you will see from a PG. He really gets into defenders bodies as he is getting downhill and he uses a smooth step-back to set up his hesi-off the bounce attacks and his hesi-pull. He is one of the big time names that really needs to be tracked as he possess a lot of translatable skills as he continues to grow and develop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The state of Indiana is no stranger to producing talented players that pan out in high school, college and beyond. <strong>Copper Zachary</strong> is a must watch talent in the class. Cooper has a super handle and a deep bag that he can go to with moves that allow him to create. He has elite range off the move, off the bounce and in the catch and shoot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The self proclaimed new Mecca in Texas has some dudes we need to keep an eye on like <strong>Ryan Hampton</strong>. The younger brother of the NBA star RJ Hampton. Ryan is a lanky 6'5 wing who can score at all three levels. Defensively he can really guard multiple positions and he is poised to be stellar prospect moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Adam Coates </strong>is a stock rising talent that has a big boy game as he can play some bully ball and he can also score at all three levels. Long wingspan that helps him finish at the rim against physical defenders and he also uses it to play above the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Look out for <strong>AJ Polk </strong>out of Tennessee. The lefty big time scoring combo guard has that wiggle and shooting ability to use his attack moves to set up his outside shooting. Great team playing fundamentals that allow him to be the glue guy that can go out and get buckets when he needs to as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>California will always have players that are just talented as most big states do. <strong>King Berry</strong> is a player to watch and even <strong>Zaire Collins</strong> is a another player that is projecting high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The smaller states also have players that have some game. Nebraska has <strong>Jackson Smith </strong>a good all-around player. Oklahoma has a player in <strong>Gregory Nash Jr. </strong>Even Utah is starting to raise their level of talent so look out for <strong>Bode Sparrow </strong>who is a multi-sport athlete that is tough and skilled on the field and floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
