<p>At every turn, the class of 2027 reveals another handful of student-athletes who impact winning. The late summer and early fall have been no different. Here are four more names we added to the rankings:</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2541080' first='Zion' last='Redic'] | 6'3 W 2027 Odessa</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Redic's defensive versatility is extremely valuable. He has the lateral quickness to defend bigger guards in space and the strength in his lower half to hold up against certain matchups in the post. Redic is active on the boards as well, using his body to shield off opposing players and rebounds through contact. In transition opportunities, he shows off the bounce by finishing above the rim; and in the halfcourt, he's best at getting putbacks and cutting from the short corner. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2488689' first='Amere' last='Rhoades'] | 6'6 C 2027 St. Georges</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Still somewhat raw, Rhoades is a ball of clay that's quickly coming into form. The transfer from Appo plays within himself on offense, using his nimble feet and soft hands to catch-and-finish or grab a rebound and put it right back up. With a wide base, he asserted himself in the post by sealing his man and calling for the ball. Defensively, Rhoades is a massive deterrent in the paint, but, when offenses do try him, he high-points the ball for blocks. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2464227' first='Myon' last='Dale'] | 5'10 G 2027 St. Elizabeth</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Despite playing on a team with a number of talented guards, Dale is hard to keep off the floor because he's an all-around hooper. He brings a ton of energy at the point-of-attack on defense, out-rebounds guys bigger than him, and hustles for loose balls. Understandably, Dale doesn't get a ton of touches on offense, but he maximizes the ones he does get with off-ball movement, by driving to the cup, and by knocking down open threes. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2566681' first='Graling' last='High III'] | 6'3 W 2027 MOT Charter</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thanks to his plus wingspan, High III impacts defensive possessions like someone 2 inches taller. His long arms allow him to rotate and block shots from the weak-side and stunt-and-recover to the corner to contest jumpers. That and his movement skills are also how he gets his hands on passes. High III is still developing on offense, but he's most effective cutting to the rim and getting second-chance baskets. </p>
