<p>On Monday we updated the 2027 rankings and expanded the list to 300 prospects! Who are the best post players in the class? These are the premier at the position in Illinois!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125634' first='Hayden' last='Schroeder'] (Wheaton Academy)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Schroeder holds down his position as the top post in the 2027 class. The four man plays with a nice combination of skill, toughness, athleticism, and is productive! Explosive finisher out of the dunker spot, quick post moves, gets deep post position, runs the floor well, and is a plus rebounder. Very quick to the glass off the floor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323620' first='Ed' last='Stasys'] (Benet)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Stasys made a big jump up to #4 overall in the class. His rise up the board has been steady in each update. Stasys is shining as a rebounder, defender, and finisher this season for Benet. Strong four man that is a plus athlete. He is a dominant rebounder on both ends of the floor high pointing them and snatching with two hands in traffic. Defensively he can guard all over the floor and protect the rim. Finishes with pop around the hoop out of the dunker spot, on lobs, and running the floor. High-motor!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2391672' first='Jeffrey' last='Hassan'] (Kaneland)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hassan is the top center in the class. What we like most about him is his rebounding and rim protection. Hassan is a plus athlete that is super active on the glass gobbling up rebounds at a high rate. His instincts and timing on the defensive end is a big time asset as he can block shots straight up or coming off the ball. Switchable in ball screens. On the offensive side runs the floor well, finishes out of dunker spot, and rolls hard to hoop.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2839876' first='Ryan' last='Dinnon'] (Andrew)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dinnon is the first of several perimeter based big men. The Andrew four man is a big time shooter from three that showcased that consistently over the holidays. At 6'7” he has a clean shot with an easy release from beyond the arc making it look like it is going to go in every time.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125637' first='Jacob' last='Fuller'] (Glenbrook South)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fuller is another face up post that is at his best shooting it from distance. Solid athlete that has legit range to beyond the college three point arc. Showing flashes of growth as a rebounder, defensively, and attacking closeouts.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125658' first='Kendall' last='Meyers'] (Marist)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Meyers is a skilled four man with a good frame. Sound perimeter shot maker with a feathery stroke. Also like what he brings as a facilitator passing from the high post finding shooters and cutters. Touch around the basket when playing down low.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323618' first='Alex' last='Sirbu'] (Buffalo Grove)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sirbu is among the best pure rebounders in the class. At 6'9” he has adequate size and we like how he rebounds at such a high level in and out of his area. Rim protector defensively. As an offensive threat he catches lobs, hook shots, and has nice spin moves. Runs the floor as well.</p>
