<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a review of four <em>“new”</em> prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania's Class of 2027 who caught our eye over the last four months and thus broke into our <a href="https://prephoops.com/pennsylvania/rankings/2027-rankings/">Class of 2027 rankings</a> for the first time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College coaches need to familiarize themselves with the skill sets of these <em>“new” </em>players and start texting them immediately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721471"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677f26467bd77"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>#44…</em></strong>Rozier (4.5 ppg.) is an athletic small forward who has carved out a role for himself as a starter and valuable fourth option at West Catholic. But if college coaches watch the film of WC's win over Reading where Rozier posted 14 points along with 10 rebounds, they will see the tremendous upside on this 2027. Rozier is fast as well as agile prospect who can finish through contact. That trifecta enables Rozier to thrive on the fast break. He can also produce points on slashes to the cup. Rozier is comfortable operating from the elbows too. Plus, he will attack the offensive glass for second chance points. Rozier has a non-stop motor and quick hands, so he is a plus defender. &nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633151"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677f26467be20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>#46…</em></strong>This athletic wing has made a huge impression during his first year at Phelps and recently picked up an offer from Radford. If you watch Niu play, it is easy to see why college coaches love this prospect. Niu is a legitimate 6'7' with a 6'10” wingspan. He owns a high IQ, runs the floor like a deer and is a lights out 3-point shooter. His polished footwork allows Niu to score in close too. Plus, Niu will catch opponents by surprise with his ability to get to the hole off two or three dribbles. In short, he is ideal prospect for the modern-day college game.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2721481"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677f26467be9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>#101…</em></strong>Roberts is a versatile, athletic, fast, and bouncy guard prospect who right now, is serving as the ideal “glue guy” in a star studded CD lineup. He can score in the open court, pop threes, work the offensive glass for put backs and slash back door for lay-ins. Roberts is averaging 5points per game for a talented CD squad that should make a deep run in the state tournament. He scored a season high 11 points (1 three) and grabbed 9 boards in a win over Carlisle. He also posted 10 points during CD's defeat of PCL contender Archbishop Ryan. On defense, Roberts possesses active hands and quick lateral movements. That combination enables Roberts to pick opponent's pockets frequently.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633181"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677f26467bf13"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong><em>#117…</em></strong>Ragsdale is an athletic lefty with an large wingspan who is posting a break-out sophomore season. His noteworthy performances this season include 13 points (3 threes) in a win over Plymouth Whitemarsh, 13 points (1 three) against Cheltenham as well as 11 points against Wissahickon. Ragsdale's outstanding play is one of the reasons that UD is out to an 11-1 start this year. In addition to popping threes, Ragsdale will drive the ball to the rack from the wing or the elbows. Ragsdale can also operate in the dunker spot where he can finish through contact or with a creative touch. His physical assets and nose for the ball make Ragsdale a plus rebounder at both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
