Unranked SEPA 2027s to Watch…Part V

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recently 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.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we reveal Part V 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>Logan Gale – 5'10″ / Neshaminy / Philly Elite / Combo Guard: </strong>In 2023-24 Gale wasa part time starter and solid contributor for Neshaminy. Then his breakout stretch came this summer. In June Gale caught our eye at Big Shots Philly Jam and Philly HS Live. Then in July Gale was a top performer on the MADE Hoops Circuit. Gale is an agile and versatile guard who can score in a multitude of ways. His primary weapon is his accurate three-point shot, but Gale can also score in the open court and slash to the cup for a lay-in. Once he is at the rim, Gale can execute several different creative finishes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brendon Goode-Kimble – 6'1″ / Downingtown West / Philly Elite / Wing: </strong>Goode-Kimble is an incredibly athletic prospect (football standout too) with fantastic instincts and impressive hops. Combine those assets with his ability to finish through contact and you have a player who thrives in the transition game. In the half-court, Goode-Kimble excels at moving without the ball. He is a master at finding open space on the wing or cutting backdoor for lay-ins. On defense, Goode-Kimble's quick lateral movements and long wingspan make him a plus player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Nicholas Lugendo </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / Haverford / Media Mustangs / Small Forward: </strong>One of the best kept secretsin the Central League posted a breakout July, so the word is now out on Lugendo. He is a long and solidly built athlete with a traditional small forward skill set. Lugendo can attack the rim via baseline drives as well as off one or two dribbles from the mid-range. He can also produce points via dives to the cup and the offensive glass. In each of these scenarios, Lugendo can convert through fouls. Plus, Lugendo runs the floor well, so he is a secondary break option. Defensively, Lugendo is a sneaky effective shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Chase Weiand </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / Mechanicsburg / [program_tooltip program_id='2428018' first='Sideline' last='Cancer'] / Small Forward: </strong>With his respectable handles, nifty passing skills, non-stop off ball movement and ability to operate on the perimeter, Weiand should be classified as a point-forward. Weiand's ability to create off the dribble for himself and teammates will catch opponents by surprise. He owns a nice mid-range game as well. His size, quickness and nose for the ball enable Weiand to do damage on the offensive glass too. At the other end of the court, Weiand is a vocal leader and committed team defender. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
