Check out the 2027s prospects making noise at the EPIC Hoops Holiday Hoopfeast. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2207644"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692b2a180ded7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">First up on the list of 2027 prospects who made some noise at the EPIC Hoops Holiday Hoopfeast is [player_tooltip player_id='2207644' first='Randy' last='Robinson']. Not only has Robinson been making some noise with his play as of late, but he also made noise on the rim with a few loud dunks on Wednesday. RJ now holds offers from Baber-Scotia College and Morris College, and he tallied 10 points and 5 rebounds in the first of two wins in Columbia this week. In that first win, Robinson was his usual, productive self on the glass and with his back to the basket, but he also showcased a much-improved handle that is very intriguing for his long-term potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2687375"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692b2a180df45"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another 2027 Forward who made noise in Columbia was Fabian. He fits in perfectly with the speed of the Runnin' Rebels offense, always putting an emphasis on winning the loose balls, running the floor in transition, and finding open spaces around the rim. McClintock had tons of production on the glass, racking up 7 rebounds, and even protected the rim well with the 3 blocks, despite not having a major size or athleticism advantage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396551"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692b2a180df94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Swofford was on the other side of McClintock in Wednesday's third game. This was my first look at Bowen in an official game with his new team, and he fits in well because of his balance of shot-making and play-making. He knocked down two threes on the wings and had a tough, left-handed finish at the rim, while also having a few assists where he kicked to shooters or found his bigs after paint touches. Swofford does have some room for improvement on the defensive end, but that will come as he matures physically and gets comfortable with his new team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2149136"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-692b2a180dfe0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nicholas is due for a big jump up in the Prep Hoops SC 2027 Rankings. He caught my eye with the Gamecocks in the Glymph Fall League, and was a Junior who made some noise in the season opener this week. White's two made threes came in the first half, one on the opening possession of the game and the other at the halftime buzzer. He seems to make momentum-grabbing plays for his team often because he will put his body on the line to draw a charge and will give up the ball in transition to get a teammate going. Nicholas finished with 16 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals in a win over Orangeburg-Wilkinson. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Khalil Lusk","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"A.C.

Lusk's name might have the flash around it like some of the others on this list, but he's just as important to winning for his team as anyone else. The offense runs through him because of how well he takes care of it, how he can keep everyone active and happy by getting them the ball, and how he can take over and hit shots when it's needed. Khalil had an impressive 6 assists despite the loss for AC Flora on day one. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
