<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The class of 2027 has prospects who may be flying a bit under the radar as we approach the 2025 high school basketball season. Here are several prospects who were part of the Prep Hoops Arkansas update earlier in the week to watch out for this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389941' first='Kellen' last='Cash']-Small Forward-Prairie Grove-6'4”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2389941' first='Kellen' last='Cash'] opened plenty of eyes during the 2024 season with his impressive play on the hardwood for the Tigers. Cash handles the ball well and is able to hit from all three levels of the floor consistently. He is a player who can guard multiple positions on the floor. Cash has had no problem putting his versatility on display over the high school season and club circuit. He is a player who I expect to continue to raise his level of play going into the 2025 high school basketball season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2397934' first='Ashton' last='Shelton']-Combo Guard-Maumelle-6'0”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2397934' first='Ashton' last='Shelton'] gets into the paint and drives through the paint effectively. He does a great job of attacking the rim. Shelton absorbs contact and can finish with points. Meanwhile, he has a good awareness of where his teammates are on the floor. Shelton has no trouble making the extra pass. Shelton plays with intensity on both ends of the floor. He gets his hands into passing lanes and forces turnovers with ease. He is a prospect who has the ability to put up impressive numbers this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2883729' first='Jaydin' last='Jones']-Point Guard-Jonesboro-5'8”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2883729' first='Jaydin' last='Jones'] is a point guard who will force opposing teams to play at the tempo he wants to set. Jones gets into the paint and dishes to the open shooter with ease. He hits jumpers from all levels of the floor. Jones forces defenders to either lock the clamps down on him or concentrate on defending the easy basket. He is a high-energy player who expends the energy on both ends of the floor. Jones plays tight defense and gets the fast break started with ease. Jones is a player with the potential to have a big 2025 season for the Hurricane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2373586' first='Brandon' last='Wright']-Shooting Guard-Little Rock Central-6'1”</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2373586' first='Brandon' last='Wright'] has the ability to take a game over on the offensive end of the floor. Wright gets into the paint and finishes around the rim. He shoots the ball well from all three levels of the floor. Wright does a tremendous job of getting his teammates involved on the offensive end of the floor. Wright battles for loose balls and has no trouble turning defense into offense in the blink of an eye. Wright is a player who I expect to have a big season for the Tigers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
