<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2402058' first='Ashby' last='Chadwick']</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mid-October we updated the 2027 player rankings.

A big-game shooter, Myles already holds an offer from Bryant University. Myles might be a college shooting guard, but small forward is a reasonable guess as he enters just his sophomore season. Myles was surprisingly elegant around the basket this summer despite his height and it is exciting to imagine the agility a 17-year old Myles will possess as he grows into his body.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2418543' first='Landon' last='Warren']</strong> (Perry County) sparkled during his PrepHoopsTN Combine debut in June. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:quote --> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Soft touch around the rim. Footwork is sharp. There is a whiff of Luka in his stew, as Landon is already dropping a fadeaway off one foot. He used it after a pump fake very well in a drill. There is also the possibility that he can go up and under with that. - @PrepHoopsTN Combine evaluation</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --></blockquote> <!-- /wp:quote --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two dual-sport guys reside in the Top 10 SF's with <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2274876' first='Jayce' last='Ellerbrook']</strong> (baseball/basketball) and Goodpasture wing <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314414' first='Slim' last='Leavell']</strong> (football/basketball). Jayce focuses very hard on baseball much of the year, while Slim splits his year about 50/50. Ellerbrook pitches and plays corner infield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766781' first='Christian' last='Bright']</strong> (Green Hill) is a high-academic wing. Rugged but cordial. Strong with some shooting touch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2350372' first='Brady' last='Harris'] </strong>climbed into the Top 10 small forwards by continuing his outstanding 2024. Harris just produces no matter who he suits up for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
