Continue ReadingIt’s still SUPER early for 2027 prospects but there are some making massive noise on the court already and have potential to reach the scholarship level in college by the time their high school careers end. These are the top post players in our freshman rankings update, not including players who were in the top 10.
A big who can face up and knock down threes or score with his back to the basket, Armstrong may be the most impactful freshman in the first region outside of

. Averaging 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, Luke is an efficient scorer, making 51% of his attempts overall and shooting 39% from three.
Highlights
Rickard has a ton of long term potential and could very easily be 7 foot tall in a year. He reminds me of current Youngstown State Center Gabriel Dynes. His defense is ahead of his offense right now but Wyatt has big time D1 potential, especially as he gets stronger.
Highlights
Woods is more of a traditional back to the basket scorer who excels at rim running and scoring around the bucket. Averaging 12 points and 8 boards per game in his freshman season, Brock will have a chance to impress this spring and summer on the 3SSB circuit.
Landon slides a little in this update but he’s still got a bright future. He needs to learn to embrace contact around the rim and straighten out his shot mechanics as he projects to be a stretch or pick and pop 4. Averaging 6 points and 7 rebounds in his freshman season, if Henning can add some bulk, it will make him much more effective against bulky Centers.
Highlights
Precious is young in his basketball career and will only get better. Sam is more of a rim runner and rim protector right now but his skill level will improve as he learns the game. As raw as he is, Precious is averaging 5 and 5 for an Eastern team with a lot of long term potential. Keep an eye on the big fella moving forward.
