Ohio 2027 Rankings are here!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After 2027 prospects have completed their freshman season of high school, it's time to debut our 2027 rankings on the website. To view the rankings with 17 ranked players and an additional watchlist of another couple dozen prospects click <a href="https://prephoops.com/ohio/rankings/2027-rankings/">here.</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top 3 was highly contested with little to no separation between [player_tooltip player_id='2140535' first='Isaiah' last='Mack-Russell'], [player_tooltip player_id='2140877' first='Shawn' last='Foster'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140178' first='Bryce' last='Curry']. All three of these players showed big time flashes during their freshman season and all have the talent to eventually become nationally ranked recruits.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spots 4-7 includes three point guards in [player_tooltip player_id='2144204' first='Jaylen' last='Gunther'], [player_tooltip player_id='2140168' first='Ben' last='Mirgon'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2139998' first='Deon' last='Johnson']. Gunther helped lead his team to the Division II state final four while Mirgon was a key piece for Division I district champion Hilliard Bradley. Johnson showed flashes for Walnut Ridge and could breakout during the grassroots season with [program_tooltip program_id='2320052' first='All' last='Ohio Red'] on the EYBL circuit. In between those guards is the lone forward in the top 7, [player_tooltip player_id='2306394' first='Jamar' last='Keyes']. On a stacked Garfield Heights roster, Keyes played spot minutes but showed a ton of promise. Look for him to be a household name in northeast Ohio next winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, these rankings will change a ton over the next few years. Expect new names to emerge and some of the names you see at the top to hold their place as the 2027 class matures and develops. We'll have positional breakdowns coming next week on each position from the 2027 class to give our readers the best idea of what to look for in the 2027 class in Ohio.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
