<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri released its newly updated Class of 2027 rankings this week. Here is a look at some Under the Radar standouts in the 2027 rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528029' first='Nicolai' last='Combat'] (Hayti): A 6'3" shooting guard who is one of the most talented young players in the SEMO area. The young lefty is a three-level scorer who can knock down the 3-pointer and also score on twisting drives to the basket. A transfer from Poplar Bluff, his addition to Hayti will make the xx one of the teams to watch in Class 2 this season. He had an excellent summer for the SEMO United 15U squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2528025' first='Sebastian' last='Bolden'] (Clayton): A 5'9" point guard with good quickness who plays the game in a smooth manner. He was an immediate impact player as a freshman for a [program_tooltip program_id='2076546' first='Greyhounds' last=''] team that won 19 games last season. He provided some excellent 3-point shooting as he shot 39 percent from long distance as a freshman, in addition to averaging eight points a game. He had a strong summer playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2077051' first='Team' last='Ramey'] 15Us.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2452522' first='Cooper' last='Brown'] (Prairie Home): A 6'3" guard who plays for an impressive Class 1 Prairie Home team that made a run to the Class 1 state quarterfinals last season. His athleticism and strong motor enable him to excel at both ends of the court. He figures to play an even bigger role as a sophomore as Prairie Home looks to take that next step in postseason play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2429228' first='Hudson' last='Bock'] (Palmyra): A 6'0" point guard who had a very solid season for the Panthers, who won 26 games and a district championship last season. He did a nice job keeping the floor spaced with his perimeter shooting as a freshman. He will assume a much bigger role this season, which will enable him to showcase his all-around ball handling and playmaking skills in addition to his shooting.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2534745' first='Jamel' last='Hawkins'] (Hazelwood Central): A 6'4" forward who made a big impact as a freshman in the rebounding department last season. He displayed a great desire for the ball as he averaged nearly eight rebounds a game last season, along with six points. He is also a capable scorer around the basket who can also drive it from the high post.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
