Under the Radar Forwards in the New 2027 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri recently released its newly updated Class of 2027 rankings. Here is a look at a group of forwards and posts who are good players who operate under the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2960216' first='Kellen' last='Campbell'] (Mansfield): A 6'4" small forward who is a good small school talent in the SWMO area. He is an excellent athlete who can finish on slashing drives and knock down perimeter jumpers. He has a feathery shooting touch from 3-point range. He had a strong summer playing for the Mo Tribe 16U squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2952134' first='Wyatt' last='DeGrave'] (Monroe City, Pictured): A 6'4" small forward who is one of the top all-around athletes in the Clarence Cannon Conference. He excels in football and track as well as basketball. He has good size and length and a versatile offensive game. He can shoot it from 3-point range and he compliments it with the ability to drive it and also score in the post with his size against smaller defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2837041' first='Kash' last='Holt'] (Princeton): A 6'5" forward who is an emerging young talent in the NWMO area. He has good length and athletic ability, which enables him to be an excellent shot blocker. He is also a capable ball handler who can step out and hit the 3-pointer off the catch. He returns to a Princeton team that won 25 games last season as one of the top Class 1 teams in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2839189' first='Jamarion' last='Glover'] (North Callaway): A 6'4" power forward who is one of the top returning players in the Eastern Missouri Conference. He has a robust build, but he can play the power game with a little finesse mixed in. He was a consistent double-double as a sophomore and he should be ready to add to those numbers this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2952096' first='Brice' last='Dome'] (Richmond): A 6'4" small forward who I was impressed with when I watched him at the Midwest Showcase in June. He is an athletic lefty who can really operate in the lane on offense. He can slash on the drive or he can flash post and hit the short jumper off the quick release. He has good bounce and mobility which can make him a matchup proboem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2837044' first='Hunter' last='Lowery'] (Princeton): A 6'5" forward who is the physical player in Princeton's young frontcourt duo with 6'5" teammate [player_tooltip player_id='2837041' first='Kash' last='Holt']. He is very good at establishing his position in the low post and he can score with a soft touch and a variety of moves. He also rebounds the ball very well as he can get out of his area. He has a chance to emerge as one of the top low-post threats in the Class 1 ranks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2952143' first='Kellan' last='O'Keefe'] (Lindbergh): A 6'6" forward who has a chance to blossom this season after playing limited varsity minutes as a sophomore. He had a strong summer playing for the Hardwood Elite 16U team. He is a versatile offensive talent with a confident shooting stroke from 3-point range and the ability to put the ball on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
