<p>Between Pennsylvania and Delaware, the 2027 class has a chance to be one for the history books. There are the national level players who many already know about. And then there are prospects who are known locally but haven't really pooped yet. This list isn't meant to be comprehensive. So here are 8 of the many that should spark some college interest over the next 2 weeks:</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364682' first='Kiyen' last='Alexander'] | 5'8 G St. Elizabeth</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With no shortage of heart, Alexander is lightning in a bottle on both ends of the floor. He wants all the smoke as an on-ball defender and a shot-maker with plenty of range on his jumper. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364703' first='A'zir' last='Ellegood'] | 5'10 G Sanford School</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The new #1 prospect in Delaware is a floor general with a diverse set of skills. Ellegood will have the keys to the Sanford attack, driving their offense with his burst and crisp passing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2419608' first='Kam' last='Jackson'] | 5'9 G Bonner-Prendie</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>From the 302 but playing in PA, Jackson will be an engine for the Friar's high-powered offense. He creates fastbreak opportunities as a shutdown defender vs other lead guards and, when he has the ball, puts pressure on the rim as an initiator.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364683' first='Shane' last='Lopez'] | 6'3 G/W Conrad</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lopez is an under-the-radar marksman, but that should change soon. He is automatic when spotting up for three and trailing in transition. Lopez also profiles as an effective help defender at the nail. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2410116' first='Carlos' last='Monroe III'] | 6'6 W/F Cristo Rey</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Slowly emerging as a name to know on the 3SSB circuit, Monroe will likely build on that momentum as a wing with positional versatility. He can knock down shots as a 3 or block shots and rebound at the 4. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364699' first='Masen' last='Price'] | 6'3 G St. Elizabeth</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With his ability to play off the catch, Price gets in rhythm and produces without having plays run for him. He can relocate or slide into open space along the arc for threes or get to his pull-up jumper in the mid-range.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2427983' first='Cole' last='Trn'] | 6'1 G Hill School</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Trn should mesh with the Rams immediately because he can play either guard spot. Further, his shooting versatility makes him dangerous and will allow him to elevate any lineup he's part of. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2425553' first='Sunny' last='Tummala'] | 6'1 G Conestoga</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He will come off of the bench for the Pioneers, but Tummala will play a lot because he's a dynamic movement shooter. He's also an aggressive on-ball defender who takes no plays off. </p>
