Rankings Release: The 2027 Watch List

Today, we'll wrap up our updated rankings coverage for the Class of 2027 with a look at a few notable prospects on the Watch List.   Below are five prospects that made the Watch List in this update, but have a serious chance to crack the rankings next time around.    Ibrahim, a 6'4" guard out of the South Kent School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2027 rankings on the Watch List. Ibrahim is a crafty scorer that does a nice job of playing at different speeds off the bounce, while also showing a deep scoring package around the rim. He's a capable playmaker with the ball in his hands that can make tough shots in isolation situations. On the other end of the floor, he's able to guard up and down a position and uses his athleticism as a rim protector when coming from the help side.     Parkhouse, a 6'2" guard out of the Kingswood-Oxford School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2027 rankings on the Watch List. Parkhouse has the ability to be one of the top three point scorers in the region this winter, with in the gym range and a quick release on his shot. He does a great job of moving without the basketball, knows how to use screens to get open, and is always shot ready on the catch. He's grown to almost 6'5" and uses the increased size to his advantage on the defensive end of the floor and while rebounding in traffic.     McDuffie, a 6'0" guard out of the South Kent School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2027 rankings on the Watch List. McDuffie is a great point of attack defender, staying low in his stance and using his lateral quickness to his advantage when staying in front of opposing guards. He's quick to turn defense into offense, showing the ability to trigger the break with the pass or bounce. He's tough with the ball in his hands, knows how to play through contact around the rim, and does a great job of quickly changing direction as a driver.     Odutayo, a 6'8" forward out of the Pomfret School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2027 rankings on the Watch List. Odutayo has impressive length which he uses to his advantage on the offensive glass and as a rim protector coming from the help side. He covers ground quickly with long strides, does a nice job of running the floor in transition, and knows how to roll out of ball screens. He has a big catch radius, a soft set of hands, and the ability to make shots in the mid-range. On top of that, he has a nose for the ball on the offensive glass and the ability to finish loudly above the rim.     Flint, a 6'6" forward out of the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut, makes his first appearance in the 2027 rankings on the Watch List. Flint, a standout wide receiver on the gridiron, has the ability to make a two-way impact on the hardwood. While his future is probably in football, he's a high motor forward that can guard up and down a lineup while playing a major role on the glass. He's a jack of all trades offensively that's willing to fill any role asked of him. He can set screens, make open shots, and has the ability to play in DHO actions too.
