<p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at a group of Class of 2027 players who caught our attention at the Ramey Fall League at Cardinal Ritter College Prep.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2348237' first='Wyatt' last='Slay'] (Principia): A 6'3" guard who plays his normal overall solid game to help his team to a victory. He is a knock down shooter from 3-point range, but he also does everything else very well. He was handling the ball and facilitating offense. He rebounded the ball and played solid defense. He is the ideal all-purpose player that brings value to any team he plays on.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2959726' first='Ronnell' last='Johnson'] (St. Mary's): A 5'11 point guard who was one of the top defensive players that I watched during the day. He applied constant pressure while picking up ball handlers in the backcourt. He is also a potent offensive player who was creating his offense with smooth handles and escape moves to knock down jumpers.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2836914' first='Jackson' last='Moad'] (Affton): A 6'2" southpaw guard who is a three-level scorer with good physical strength. He gets to his left hand and he can get down hill to power his way to the basket on the drive. He plays at his own pace and he doesn't get sped up. If defenders back off, he was capable of knocking down the 3-point shot.</p>

<p>TJ Cason (Belleville West): A 6'3" small forward who is one of the most explosive athletes in the league. It borders on freakish with how high he can jump. He had some breathtaking chase down blocks along with multiple slam dunks off alley oops. He also plays with such a high motor as he's flying all over the gym.</p>

<p>Devin Rice (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'8 point guard who has lighting speed and quickness to go along with excellent playmaking ability. He was really good at finding open teammates and locating them in the right position to score. He was also a one-man press breaker in the open court. He can create his own shot with range and knock down the pull up 3-pointer in transition.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2509009' first='Jackson' last='Tabash'] (Webster Groves): A 6'2" shooting guard who can knock down shots from the perimeter. I am impressed with how he has added the ability to create off the dribble to his game. He is also getting taller which should add to his development as an offensive player.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2403906' first='Madden' last='Bohning'] (Orchard Farm): A 6'4" southpaw wing player who plays like a physical point forward. He was strong on the drive and he did a good job of getting two feet in the paint to make a play. He also made good use of head and shoulder fakes around the basket to keep defenders off balance.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2334951' first='Xavier' last='Clark'] (St. Mary's): A 6'0" guard who is a high-motor player who keeps his energy level up every minute he's on the floor. He was constantly slashing into the lane in the half court offense. He also excels in the transition game. He is a very good glue-guy on the floor with his effort and unselfishness.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2423363' first='Jayden' last='Tucker'] (Francis Howell Central): A 5'11" guard who can really shoot it from long distance. He moves well without the ball and comes off screens shot ready with a quick release. His cutting ability is also excellent.</p>
