<p>The top 10 in the 2027 player rankings didn't see a huge makeover. </p>

<p>Here are the highlights from the latest update:</p>

<p>Brentwood Academy's [player_tooltip player_id='2133797' first='Bryson' last='Wade'] moved up one spot to No. 6. The 6-foot-0 point guard has been steady for the Eagles since he's been the program's starting point guard. Wade is going to be score in double figures most nights. He's going to take care of the basketball. Wade is a solid on-ball defender. He's going to do whatever it takes to win. Wade is one of the main reasons Brentwood Academy currently sits at 17-5 and is a sleeper team to watch for in TSSAA Division II Class AA.</p>

<p>Houston's [player_tooltip player_id='2101889' first='Justin' last='Frison'] stays put at No. 1. Frison has to play well each night he's on the floor. He's the leader at Houston, and he has to act and play like it. Frison isn't afraid to defend the other team's best point guard. He has shown the ability to take over a game and be the best player on the floor. Frison is a three-level scorer that's going to compete on every possession. </p>

<p>Bartlett's [player_tooltip player_id='2291122' first='Dylan' last='Jones'], Upperman's [player_tooltip player_id='2133810' first='Ty' last='Cobb'], and Brentwood's [player_tooltip player_id='2376260' first='Davis' last='Cochran'] round out the top 4. Each prospect has shown he belongs near the top of this class. Jones has made big shots for the Panthers this season. He's earned the trust of the coaching staff and his teammates to take on a huge scoring load. </p>

<p>Cobb has had 40-point performances this season. He plays with a high motor, plays with high energy, and hasn't lost a step since last season when he won Mr. Basketball in Class 3A and led the program to a state title.</p>

<p>Cochran has been the bell cow for the Bruins this season and is the centerpiece around the team's chances of competing for the Class 4A state title. The 6-7 forward can play with his back to the basket. Cochran can make shots from the perimeter. He also rebounds the ball well. Cochran is one of the best players in the class. There's no debating that now.</p>

<p>Houston's [player_tooltip player_id='2111892' first='Jordan' last='Myles'] moved up a spot to No. 7. The 6-6 wing is coming off a 42-point, 10-rebound performance in a win over Germantown. In an overtime loss to Bartlett, Myles recorded a double-double (17 points and 11 rebounds). He's one of the prospects to quietly perform well without a standout play in a contest. Myles loves to play defense, rebound, and finish at the rim through contact.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2765352' first='Asa' last='Fortune'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2716618' first='Korajo' last='Dickens'] moved up to No. 8 and No. 9, respectively.</p>
