<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>They're only 8th graders but there are some 2027 prospects already making names for themselves Here's an early look at some 2027s who will find their way on to the watchlist late this year. These names were all submitted via Twitter DMs and are presented in alphabetical order.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745583"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Another young prospect who hails from the mountains, Keathley is the leading scorer for a Prestonsburg squad that sits at the middle of the pack in the 15th region so far this season. Braxton is a scoring point guard who excels at getting paint touches and finishing around the rim. As a three point shooter, the 6'1 guard shoots well enough from distance to keep a defense honest.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5929e1d70c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745592"],"_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_0_evaluation":"A volume scorer, Logsdon has put up big numbers this season for a Grayson team that is rebuilding this year. Putting up 15 points and 6 rebounds per game is impressive but as his game develops, Jack's focus needs to be on improving his overall shooting efficiency. He's likely a top 5-10 prospect in this class if we were to do rankings today.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5929e1d774"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745587"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Many expected Russell to take a step back this season but many would be wrong as they sit at 15-3. Neel and [player_tooltip player_id='1745586' first='Caleb' last='Rimmer'] are a big reason for the Russell reload. Elijah is another player that will want to focus on shooting efficiency as his game expands over his career.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5929e1d7bf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745585"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Probably the best three point shooter on this list, Perry checks in at shooting 37% from three and has shot more threes than twos at this point in his high school career. Hayden is a player to keep an eye on for the future as he's only going to get stronger and more comfortable when attacking the rim. He should also be a better free throw shooter than his current percentage indicates.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5929e1d80b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745586"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Nearly averaging a double-double right now with 10 points and 8 rebounds per game, Rimmer could be a big time prospect if he continues to grow. Predominantly a post scorer, Caleb should work on his three point shooting and face up game to reach his ultimate potential as a prospect. He's already a top 2027 in Eastern Kentucky and will likely only get better.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63c5929e1d855"} /-->
