<p>Talk about putting your name on the map in just your first high school season. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2294408' first='Martay' last='Barnes']</strong> earned the 3A District 12 Player of the Year award after leading his team to a 21-7 record while scoring 17.3 PPG. The 6-2 point guard product is a must-watch with the ball in his hands. He's displayed his smooth handles and ability to get a bucket. Another rising 2027 prospect who has the skills to progress into a big-time recruit. </p>

<p>The son of a coach sometimes gets pushed harder than others but that only made Robinson get active against his peers today. He can do it all for a rising freshman product standing around 6-foot-7 with long arms to add. Robinson will be one of the well-known class of 2027 prospects real soon. He was effective in all areas of the game including hustling for boards and rim-protecting throughout the event. It was the offensive output that stood out. His aggressive mindset works as he knows how to use his body and height leverage in the paint and the explosiveness around the rim will usually finish the job. Still time to add weight and grow into his frame but will have eyes on him moving forward. </p>

<p>We knew this kid would be a start after watching him perform against his peers in the off-season period. The rising star for IMG Academy made sure to get the most out of his freshman season, earning the SIAA Sunshine Division Player of the Year Award. Majeed is a physical 6-foot-7 product that can shoot and handle the rock was obvious from the film but his overall game on the court is something that will take him to the next level. Already has the frame to dominate his peers but he's also skilled with the ball in his hands and has decent ISO moves to find his spots. One of the more intriguing prospects in the 2027 class was a top standout no doubt.</p>

<p>This kid has the size and tools to develop into a Division 1 prospect. Already received a notable Alabama offer this offseason with plenty more to for growth. He's a versatile ball player who combines his college-ready size with solid shooting skills which had Alabama as the latest school to offer. Geiger is an interesting prospect that we have to keep an eye on. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125472' first='Colton' last='Sembower'] | SG/SF | 2027 | The Rock | @ColtonSembower</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What a season for the rising freshman who first appeared on our radar in the offseason after dominating at PH Florida camp. He used that momentum to finish his freshman season with a 1st Team All-State SIAA Sunshine selection and helped The Rock finish with a 23-8 record with much-needed postseason experience added to his resume. This kid led the team in scoring with 17.0 PPG in his first high school season. Has a solid frame at 6-4 combined with a 6-7 wingspan that he uses on both ends of the floor. Sembower will be a premier recruit in years to come. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125504' first='Oneal' last='Delancy'] | G | 2027 | Gibbs | @0neal_Delancy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2023 stats: 15.4 PPG – 2.6 rebounds – 2.1 steals<br>One of the true playmakers this season for Gibbs, this kid has everything you want in a rising prospect. If there was one 2027 guard that could potentially play Division I ball from his performance this season, that would be Delancy. His advanced ball handling skills and body control are above average for his class and the confidence to take and make tough perimeter shots is evident. He's a consistent shooter who can hit from midrange or create space to finish at the rim. Delancy is a rising baller who will be a star for Gibbs High.</p>

<p>Has to be one of the notable risers in the South Florida area. Has earned Division I offers already with time to build on recruiting. Looks smooth with the ball in his hands. Dominates the off-season AAU period. One of the top scorers on his high school team as a freshman averaging 12.7 points per game. Has displayed a solid ability to be a multi-level scorer with a solid jump shot when moving to his spots or working off offensive sets. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2397027' first='Carson' last='Crawford'] | G/F | 2027 | Fleming Island | @crsncrwd12</strong>My underclassmen tournament MVP at our PH FL showcase was hands down 2027 F <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2397027' first='Carson' last='Crawford']</strong>. He helped NFS United 16U take home the championship trophy with high-flying finishes and backboard blocks. As noted, this kid was instantly put on my radar before taking the court because of the incredible wingspan. Crawford is about 6-4 with a lengthy frame and good bounce to go with it. </p>
