<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2027 national rankings just dropped today and in this article we'll break down the top 5 ranked prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2281701"],"_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-68afa91a3266b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our top ranked prospect nationally, Branch had an excellent summer with the Compton Magic showing high level physical traits and long-term upside. Positionally, Branch has a long wingspan and can defend multiple positions on the court. His two-way impact is currently one of the biggest driving forces for his high ranking and I expect his impact to continue at Prolific Prep this season playing alongside some extremely talented prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1948021"],"_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-68afa91a326dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another prospect on the move landing at a Florida prep school, Rosser will be at Southeast Prep which has loaded up on talent this season. Rosser has incredible athletic upside with few players moving like he does at his size. The length of his strides combined with his wingspan gives him incredible defensive potential and he has flashed the ability to play with the ball in his hands. Athletically, the game at times seems easy for Rosser who will look to turn his dominant physical tools and flashes into consistent production against top players in the country this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2473434"],"_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-68afa91a32733"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kamissoko had a strong EYBL season for PSA Cardinals, impressing on both ends of the court with his high motor, length, strength and athleticism. Kamissoko was one of the most efficient players at the 16 U level, scoring 15.3 points per game at 1.05 points per possession, that efficiency ranked 8th on the circuit according to synergy. Kamissoko continued his upward trajectory by winning MVP honors at the Crossroads Elite camp, which featured many of the top 2027-2029 prospects in the country. Expect to hear a lot about Kamissoko over the next two years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2703014"],"_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-68afa91a32785"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A teammate of Rosser's this season, Ekezie is arguably the most dominant interior presence in the 2027 class nationally. Ekezie Jr's dad played in the NBA and physically Ekezie Jr looks capable of playing at that level as well. Making progress as an offensive player for Vegas Elite, being able to finish lobs and catch and finish in traffic are key skills for Ekezie to consistently show this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2266896"],"_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-68afa91a327dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the youngest 2027 prospects in the country, Hill just recently celebrated his 16th birthday. Emerging as one of the top players in the country this summer, Hill was a dominant two way force for Indy Heat 16 U, the Peach Jam champions. Hill is arguably the best shot blocker in the 2027 class nationally and has taken massive strides as a floor spacer offensively. That two way upside combined with his age makes him an easy choice as a prospect we want to be higher than the rest of the industry on. Hill is currently ranked 13th on ESPN and outside the top 40 on 247 and Rivals, I expect him to end up as a five-star prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
