The 2027 class is a very talented one. The top ten of this class are high level, ultra-talented players. However, what about the other players in the class. Outside of the top ten, what are other players like. Well, in this review of the class of 2027, we will look at players outside of the top ten. There are some very high level preps that are positioned outside of the top ten in this class.   [player_tooltip player_id='2313822' first='Javon' last='Vital'] - There weren't many freshmen who had more responsibility than Vital. He was the lead guard and had the responsibility of facilitating the offense. Vital also was the Warriors best player of the dribble. Javon is as strong as an ox and absorbs contact like a sponge when he attacks the rim. His ability to score and facilitate shows his versatility.   [player_tooltip player_id='2025206' first='Kortlan' last='Williams'] - The guard out of David Thibodaux is very effective when he has the ball in his hands. Williams can get to the hole with a deceptive dribble or use his excellent vision to find teammates in the paint. Kortlan can also make the three which opens up his penetration game. He is a very good guard with a high IQ. That makes him dangerous all over the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2132840' first='Parker' last='Robinson'] - Robinson is one of the best shooters in his class. He is a high level spot up shooter who is in range once he passes half court. Not only does he shoot it well, he can put it on the deck and get to his spots in the mid-range. He is another high IQ player who uses his jumper to gain the advantage.   [player_tooltip player_id='2313820' first='Jordyn' last='Wilson'] - RInggold made an appearance at Marsh Madness this season and Wilson was an important reason why. Wilson can play on the ball and off and plays both guard positions well. He has the wherewithal to spot up and he can attack off the dribble. His versatile play makes him an asset anywhere on the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2318065' first='Eli' last='Washington'] - Washington is 6'6" with nearly a 6'11" wing span. He is a player who can defend five positions on defense and stretch the floor on offense. Washington can switch out and make it difficult for guards and wings to shoot from the perimeter while he can shoot over practically everyone. His length and rebounding make a difference for his team when he is on the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='2132758' first='KeShun' last='Malcolm'] - Malcolm saw varsity time this season as Ruston made it to Lake Charles and the state semifinals. Going forward, he will be an important guard to pair with [player_tooltip player_id='2132725' first='Ahmad' last='Hudson'] because of his ability to cut and shoot. Malcolm has the ability to get to the rim or shoot the mid-range off cuts. He is streaky but can get it going very quickly.   [player_tooltip player_id='2132731' first='Caden' last='Arvie'] - Arvie was a big reason why JS Clark Leadership played for a championship. He is a guard who causes havoc on the defensive end and can change defense into offense quickly. Arvie can also make the spot up three. Those two attributes will make him very valuable to his team's success going forward.   These players are listed in the top half of the rankings and are very good players. Many of them are already varsity contributors which gives them a leg up when it comes to playing this spring and summer. They will definitely see a ton of action when they play with their high school teams in June.
