2027 Top Additions: Big School

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 class is quickly building a very powerful class and its growing and getting stronger every week. We appreciate the feedback and input from everyone to make this possible. West Virginia recruiting has built itself up over the last three years to be a state that produces 50+ college recruits per year and class of 2027 will be nothing short of that.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2623927' first='Koang' last='Bol Kuany'] is described as a rim runner who blocks everything and so far this season when he's been on the floor he's done just that. At 7'2" with good feet and lateral movement you'd expect exactly what he provides. Rim protection, clean up the glass with rebounds and put backs and catch and dunk from baseline in half court sets. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691786' first='Anthony' last='Smith'] has been heating it up in Huntington Prep games as a true point guard. The 6'0" floor general is an excellent shooter from deep and pushes the pace with high efficiency. Smith also had an excellent showing in the Grind Session in front of a gym of D1 coaches. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2683161' first='Ryan' last='Robinette'] has been added due to his bursting onto the scene as a primary scorer for the super young PikeView squad. Robinette is a combo-guard type player who has a strong frame and impressive strength. Robinette's scoring at mid-range is what stood out to us the most at first glance. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2624032' first='Antoine' last='Hicks'] has jumped into the rankings after we finally got to see him play. Albeit on video, he was still impressive enough to get his consideration confirmed. Hicks is quick and athletic with good instincts and has a chance to become a recruitable guard if he continues to work on his craft. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2717106' first='Luke' last='Byrer'] is intriguing to many considering his height (6'4") and athletic ability. A projected wing type player who could even transition to guard if his skill level continues to climb. Byrer is most effective in transition with his speed and explosion at the rim. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2625304' first='Bryer' last='Mullins'] was on our radar early as we saw him in AAU action early last spring. Mullins is a relentless defender and dangerous offensively when he can get up and down. One of his school's top players currently, Mullins has the raw basketball talent to be one of the better players in the Kanawha Valley in next two year. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721072' first='River' last='McClain'] has become East Fairmont's steady scoring force night in and out. Possibly even a matchup problem for some opponents. McClain should continue to be a dynamic player offensively and work to lock down defensively and will be in the prospect conversation by his senior year. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2717112' first='Harrison' last='Helbig'] is amongst several other rising young players on the University squad and could have as big an impact as any of them. Being projected as a post player for his school team, Helbig could work out to be a player who can slide outta the paint and become more of a stretch 4 type. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2624047' first='Xavier' last='St Andry'] has been putting up great numbers during JV contests which many wouldn't consider notable, however when its for a program like Parkersburg South who's packed with talent, it speaks volumes. St Andy certainly has varsity time in the next couple years and possibly even by the end of this season when coach Fallon could be looking for added depth for post season play. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721088' first='Jay' last='Bordas'] who most know as the gun slinging QB who led the Patriots to the football playoffs, can also gun it in hoops. The 6'1" guard is strong and athletic as you might expect but also adds an element of toughness to the Park lineup. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2717107' first='Jack' last='Byrer'] is yet another young gun ready to contribute at University. Byrer, like his brother, is listed at 6'4" and could add depth at multiple positions on both ends. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
