2027 Rankings Update: No.’s 11-15 Breakdown

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week we turned our 2027 watchlist into an official rankings update with 100 prospects in the SoCal's sophomore class in the mix. In this piece we take a closer look at the prospects who fall among No.'s 11-15.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">11. [player_tooltip player_id='2436266' first='Chris' last='Sanders'] | Redondo Union</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If there's one thing Sanders does when he takes the floor it's produce. The physical and athletic lefty is a bruising driver and finisher when he gets downhill in transition and half-court offense and his ability to power through contact makes him one of the best wing finishers in this class. Sanders is a high motor guy on both ends of the floor who can guard multiple positions and rebounds in and out of his area on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">12. [player_tooltip player_id='2140875' first='Demarcus' last='Henry'] | Mater Dei</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henry has the prototypical frame you look for in a next-level wing prospect. The long, wiry 6-foot-6 sophomore is a fluid transition athlete who can slash and score at the rim on the break and has touch off the catch out to the three-point line. Henry's combination of physical and athletic tools, along with his versatile offensive skill-set will likely lead to him being a highly-recruited prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">13. [player_tooltip player_id='2436299' first='Mahamed' last='Toure'] | San Gabriel Academy</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Toure is an elite level slasher and finisher both with the ball in his hands as a driver and off the ball as a timely cutter. The 6-foot-7 forward has a combination of quick-twitch and explosive vertical athleticism that allow him to elevate quickly for above the rim finishes but he also possesses a fundamental aspect to his footwork that allows him to create scoring opportunities off of two feet in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">14. [player_tooltip player_id='2436287' first='Richie' last='Ramirez'] | San Marcos</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ramirez is one of the premier scoring and playmaking guards in Southern California. The 6-foot-2 combo guard has great feel when creating for himself and others off the dribble and his poise and patience as an attacking ball-handler shine in a variety of ways. Ramirez is an automatic paint touch where he can finish with a mid-range jumper or floater but he also reads defenses well and finds open teammates. The sophomore can also pour in perimeter jumpers off the catch and off the bounce. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">15. [player_tooltip player_id='2646501' first='NaVorro' last='Bowman'] | Notre Dame</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bowman is a well-paced point guard whose steadiness as a ball-handler and decision maker, combined with his explosiveness as an athlete and scorer around the rim is an impressive combination of traits. The 6-foot-1 sophomore plays in a high-tempo environment with his high school team but is never sped up and always has his eyes up the floor looking to advance the ball to a teammate. Bowman has great command of the point guard position his ability to slash and drive for paint touches allows him to slide off the ball, as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
