<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2027 is halfway through their Junior seasons and several have started to make their name ring a little louder than before.

A back to the basket scorer who continues to evolve on the offensive end, Molina is slowly moving past just being a dunker and rim protector and is showing he can face up and attack off the dribble as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124542"],"_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-6961341e267c5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Darian is one of my favorite point guards in the Junior class. He's quick and has a tight handle on the ball. Shy doesn't force his own offense or anything crazy. He sets the table for his teammates and picks his spots to go and score for himself. A good defender, Darian is currently shooting 49/41/70 for a Seneca team that is having a very good season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2712673"],"_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-6961341e2681b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A good scorer who is having a really strong start for a DuBois squad that is off to the best start in school history, Khail is proving to be a solid secondary option for the Lions this season. Averaging 15 points per game, Ogletree and [player_tooltip player_id='1751495' first='Ja'Rye' last='Brown'] are perhaps the best back court duo in Louisville this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120266"],"_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-6961341e2686d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"> One of the better shooters in the mountains, Cole was the leading scorer at Harlan Independent earlier in his career and took a secondary role for Harlan County last year after a transfer. Now a Junior, Trent is shooting an impressive 47/48/78 on his way to averaging 19 points per game thus far. Also a willing passer, Cole has a chance to be one of the top players in the 13th region this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125726"],"_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-6961341e268c0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bartley leads Thomas Nelson in nearly every offensive category this season and has had some high scoring games. With good size at the guard spot, Tyler is able to attack the bucket but is also a good shooter who is making 35% of his three pointers. With his ability to score well and get to the free throw line, Bartley is starting to see his name ring with some colleges this season, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The Class of 2027 is halfway through their Junior seasons and several have started to make their name ring a little louder than before. Here's a look at some 2027s who are making an early impact.
