<p>The 2027 rankings update came out on Monday with a little over 175 prospects ranked. The combo guard class saw a bunch of prospects move up the rankings as they had big strong performances throughout the season. Here are the top combo guard stock-risers from the 2027 rankings update.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2344526' first='MJ' last='Jarrell'], 6'2 Morristown-Beard</strong></h2>   <p>Jarrell went up 17 spots in the update as he was one of the top prospects in Morris County in 2024-25. The 6'2 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and can finish through contact. Jarrell can also score in the mid-range and rarely gets sped up by on-ball pressure. He is a solid passer and gets deflections on the defensive end. Jarrell is capable of scoring the ball in a variety of ways and should put it on display this AAU season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2621646' first='Tyler' last='Caban'], 5'11 Hopatcong</strong></h2>   <p>Caban also went up 17 spots in the update as he showed the ability to play on and off the ball. The 5'11 guard has a nice first step, which he uses to blow by his defender and finishes well around the basket. Caban is more than just a slasher as he has a good release on his jumper and sets his feet before he shoots. He is a tough on-ball defender and gets his teammates involved in the halfcourt. Caban will have the ball in his hands more over the next couple of months, which will help his stock in a big way.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2464737' first='Gavin' last='Biasi'], 5'11 Red Bank Catholic</strong></h2>   <p>Biasi took a big step up this season, which resulted in him jumping up 12 spots in the update. The 5'11 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can knock down jumpers in bunches. Biasi can also get into the paint off the dribble and has a good touch in the mid-range. He rarely makes mistakes with the ball in his hands and is a tough on-ball defender. Biasi is a gritty guard prospect who does whatever it takes to help his team win games.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2203815' first='Ryan' last='Rust'], 6'2 Pingry</strong></h2>   <p>Rust went up nine spots in the update as he showed his ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor. The 6'2 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and has a good touch in the mid-range. Rust wastes little motion in his release and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He moves well without the ball in his hands and is an underrated passer. Rust's ability to play on and off the ball is something that will help his stock throughout the AAU season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2344528' first='Jamal' last='Dixon'], 6'0 Gill St. Bernard's</strong></h2>   <p>Dixon jumped up seven spots in the update and has the potential to move up higher in the rankings. The 6'0 guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to the rim off the dribble and finishes nicely around the rim. Dixon has a good release on his jumper as he wastes little motion and rarely forces jumpers in the halfcourt. He uses good instincts to jump passes on the defensive end and is an underrated rebounder. Dixon is a tough guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor over the next couple of months.</p>
