SEPA Unranked 2027s to Watch…Part III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week we published our <a href="https://prephoops.com/pennsylvania/rankings/2027-rankings/">updated Class of 2027 rankings</a>. By now you know that dynamic combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2195052' first='Tyler' last='Sutton'] sits at No 1 in our latest rankings. Sutton is followed closely at No. 2 by outstanding hybrid-forward [player_tooltip player_id='2407095' first='Zion' last='Green']. Both players have each already received several DI offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we reveal Part III in our review of unranked Class of 2027 prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who we will be keeping an eye on over the next couple of months. We expect that when the next edition of our 2027 rankings drops in the fall, the below prospects will be included in that update.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2633131' first='Jared' last='Dolimpio'] – 6'3″ / Cumberland Valley / WV Gold Hoops / Wing:</strong> Dolimpio first caught our eye in late February at the 6A state tourney when he dropped 18 points in a win over powerhouse Reading. He grabbed our attention again in June at Philly HS Live while we were scouting his teammate, [player_tooltip player_id='2391481' first='JJ' last='Lebo']. Dolimpio is an extraordinarily athletic and fast perimeter prospect who thrives in transition. In the half-court, Dolimpio stretches the floor with his accurate three-point shooting. He is especially lethal on corner triples. Dolimpio can also score on straight line drives to the cup or back door cuts for lay-ins. His large wingspan, quickness and high IQ make Dolimpio a plus defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2445674' first='Cooper' last='Fairlamb'] </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / Devon Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2423459' first='PA' last='Hoops Academy'] / Wing: </strong>Fairlamb is an athletic and high IQ perimeter prospect with a versatile skill set. Over the last three months, Fairlamb has been a standout player at a host of events, so Summer 2024 will go down as his breakout stretch of play. On offense he can pop threes, produce points off the bounce and work as a pass-first ball handler. Fairlamb is also a smooth operator in pick-n-roll / pop action. His ability to push the fast break for a score or to distribute to an open lane filler is underrated. Fairlamb is a solid rebounding guard at both ends of the court. Defensively, Fairlamb's length and understanding of team defensive concepts make him extremely switchable. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sergio Hunt </strong><strong>– 5'10″ / Downingtown East / Uptown Basketball Academy / Point Guard:</strong> This speedy, poised, and multi-skilled floor general has tremendous upside. Hunt can serve as a scoring point guard by splashing threes, getting to the rim off the dribble and finishing in transition. His ability to lace triples off the dribble is especially impressive. When Hunt is in distributor mode, he can get into the paint and then execute drop passes to the dunker spot or kick outs to perimeter shooters. As a primary ball handler, Hunt's patience, and willingness to bypass a good scoring opportunity for a great one is noteworthy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jamier Jacob </strong><strong>– 6'3″ / Reading / Pure Game Hoops / Small Forward:</strong> Jacob is a long and nimble 230-pound athlete who also plays tight end for Reading's football team. On the hoops court this summer he grabbed our attention thanks to breakout performances at Philly HS Live as well as the HG Summer Jam Fest. With his quick footwork and solid frame, Jacob can capitalize on mismatches in the mid-range and the low post. When he operates from the elbows, Jacob is agile enough to get past plodding bigs for scores at the rim. Plus, he can take smaller defenders down to the blocks and play bully ball. Jacob is also a plus rebounder at both ends. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
