All Ohio Hoops Showcase: 2027/2028 Standouts

Our last article from the All Ohio Hoops Showcase sees us profile some 2027 and 2028 standouts from the action we saw at Reynoldsburg High School.    Bonner has an impressive frame and physical tools for a forward of his age. Already able to bang in the paint for rebounds and be physical on both ends, Bonner looks like an upperclassmen physically. With a couple offensive rebounds and putbacks, Bonner was active around the rim on Saturday. Add in smooth jump-shot mechanics and a few baseline shots and Bonner has some skills to work with in the future. Name to know in central Ohio's 2027 class.     After starting as a freshman for the Falcons, Hill has become one of the more experienced pieces for Lutheran East despite his age. Hill is a tough defender and that's the side of the court where he really shines. Active in passing lanes, on the ball and as a help-side defender, Hill is advanced for a sophomore defensively. Offensively, he did a nice job of picking his spots to attack and when he made a move Hill was decisive off the dribble. Hill and [player_tooltip player_id='2125763' first='Ty' last='Harrison'] have formed a nice 2027 combo either sharing the court or taking on floor general responsibilities when the other takes a breather.     One of the most talented players in Ohio's 2028 class, Zeigler had a fast start to his high school career on Saturday. An elite shooter from downtown, Zeigler hit some shots a few feet behind the 3-point line against Olentangy Liberty. Whether it was spotting up or running off pin down screens, Zeigler catches the ball ready to launch away. This is a name that will be known regionally sooner rather than later.     One of the more interesting 2027 prospects in central Ohio, Reynolds fit in well for his first game at Olentangy Liberty. Really active in the first half, Reynolds was doing a nice job of contesting shots straight up at the rim and using his length to grab rebounds. I also thought Reynolds has grown an inch since I last saw him in July, something common with underclassmen prospects. His best highlight of the day came when Reynolds jumped a passing lane and finished with a dunk at the other end, a clear 10 second representation of his two-way ability and physical gifts.     Westerville North had their way with Richmond Heights and I could've picked any of three 2027 standouts as Tony Cornett and [player_tooltip player_id='2140886' first='Tyson' last='Perkins'] were both influential in the win as well. I went with King because of his physicality in the paint, which was a clear strength for Westerville North in this game. King was moving players in the paint and putting himself in position for offensive rebounds and also finished at the rim off BLOB plays and sitting at the dunker spot. King made a name for himself this fall on the gridiron and has had a fast start to his winter on the hardwood.     On a team with four prospects already holding Division I offers (3 of them committed) it was a freshman who really turned the tides for Reynoldsburg on Saturday. Roddy came off the bench and immediately flipped the game by making a lot of little plays on both ends. Roddy started the game with a closeout attack for a layup and then got a breakaway slam dunk that got the crowd on their feet. He followed that up with a couple tough rebounds and steals and then threw back-to-back alley oop passes to teammates for slam dunks that got the crowd going crazy. Really impressed with how Roddy impacted the game without scoring, a rare trait for freshman.
