<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2027 is loaded with talent across all classifications and schools. In this five-part series, I take an in-depth look at my top 25 players -- regardless of position -- breaking down what makes each prospect stand out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>20. [player_tooltip player_id='1974549' first='Jackson' last='Bruce'] | 6'4" Wing | Spring Hill | VWBA Elite</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bruce is a well-rounded player known for his steady, consistent presence on the floor. His shooting ability stands out -- he knocks down shots with impressive efficiency and has a strong feel for moving without the ball to find open looks. In addition to his shooting, Jackson can also initiate offense by attacking the rim. He plays with poise, always under control, and makes smart reads in scoring or distributing situations. His balanced skill set and high basketball IQ make him a reliable contributor and key piece on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>19. [player_tooltip player_id='2815517' first='Jayden' last='Araujo'] | 5'10" Guard | Wichita Southeast | [program_tooltip program_id='2886609' first='Wichita' last='Padres']</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayden is a compact, strong-bodied guard who plays with relentless energy on both ends of the floor. Defensively, he's a tough on-ball defender -- disrupting ball handlers, applying pressure, and cutting off straight-line drives with physicality and quick feet. Offensively, Araujo is a smart, calculated player who picks his spots well. He brings a diverse scoring arsenal, capable of knocking down shots from beyond the arc, getting to the rim with force, and making plays in the mid-range. His aggressiveness and basketball IQ make him a dynamic two-way presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>18. Ryan Osburn | 6'6" Forward | Eudora</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An underrated name in the class, Ryan is an intriguing prospect with significant upside. He brings a versatile skill set that allows him to impact the game both inside and out. Osburn is a physical presence on the floor, capable of handling and shooting the ball from the perimeter, while also scoring and rebounding effectively around the basket. His ability to stretch the floor, combined with his strength and touch in the paint, makes him a tough matchup and a player to watch as he continues to develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>17. [player_tooltip player_id='2205725' first='Tommy' last='Chapman'] | 6'5" Guard | Blue Valley Northwest | PAC</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tommy is one of the premier shooters in the state, known for his high, quick release that allows him to get his shot off against virtually any defense. He's especially effective in catch-and-shoot situations, using smart movement and spatial awareness to navigate defensive schemes and create open looks. At 6'5", Chapman's size adds another layer to his game. As a bigger guard, he's capable of rebounding at a high level and finishing through contact around the rim, making him more than just a perimeter threat. His shooting ability combined with his versatility makes him a valuable all-around contributor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>16. [player_tooltip player_id='2205716' first='Kamari' last='Jennings'] | 5'8" Guard | Wichita Collegiate | [program_tooltip program_id='2886609' first='Wichita' last='Padres']</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jennings is a quick, athletic lead guard who impacts the game with his pace and energy. Offensively, he possesses a sharp first step and creates off the dribble -- both for himself and his teammates. He's a capable perimeter shooter and showcases a variety of finishes in the mid-range and at the rim, making him a well-rounded scoring threat. Defensively, Jennings brings the same intensity. He locks in on the ball, applying pressure and disrupting opposing offensive sets with his quickness and anticipation. His two-way presence and ability to control tempo make him a key difference-maker on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
