The EXPO WV: Breaking Down The 2027’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the 2028's had, the 2027 class had a high percentage of the participation numbers on Saturday and they didn't miss on their reputations of being players ready to take the step towards being leaders on their varsity programs or breaking into the varsity roster of their school teams. This group also has its own number of projected college prospects, but also with the great possibility of every player on this list transforming themselves into a next level player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2485302' first='Andre' last='Anderson'] is an emerging guard from St Mary's who's show measurable improvement since last season. Anderson is a good combination of size and skill with a ceiling he has yet to meet. Anderson has a good energy on the floor, hustles, does some dirty work, passes the ball well and looks for scorers when he has the ball. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2340458' first='Marshall' last='Dorado'] is impressive physically for a 6'1" guard who you can tell has put time in the weight room. Quick and athletic, Dorado seems to get better overnight when you see him in consecutive events. Making the move to Expressions Prep recently, Dorado has the skill set and body to compete quickly and force his level of play upward. Marshall already shows flashes of a next level player and his time at EP will likely get him there. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2434792' first='Marshall' last='Summers'] is a name I think you'll be hearing in the next couple years. Summers could be a late blooming player physically who could stretch into a longer athlete which would help his cause of course. But what we saw was a player who was starting to find his niche amongst older more experience players and make his presence known. Summers has solid handles, shoots it well and is starting to become a slashing guard. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2413869' first='Ethan' last='Cummings']will have big opportunity at Tucker County to contribute immediately. What we saw was an athletic rangy guard who has some great bounce and explosion. Shoots the three well most times and is excellent finishing in transition. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2615796' first='Levi' last='Lewis'] was a new face for us to see which is always great. We found that he plays hard on both ends, has great finishing skills around the rim and through mid-range. Levi has good anticipation of plays on defense as well as positioning himself to defend at a varsity level. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2332910' first='Braylon' last='Ward'] continues to trend up with his showing at Triadelphia. Ward has started to physically look the part as well as match that on the floor. Ward can play positions 1-4 as well as guard them. Athletic enough to play guard or wing but physical enough to go inside and get tough rebounds and finishes. Ward highlighted his 5v5 portion with a thunderous dunk on a breakaway leaving his mark on the day. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2611801' first='Cayden' last='Cooper'] is an athlete with good length and athleticism while having a sound skillset. Cooper has excellent mobility and looks bouncy and explosive. Cooper uses his length to his advantage on both ends and has superstar potential. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
