Updated 2027 Rankings: The Top 10

The 2027 rankings were updated today! And with that, we'll flood the site with content breaking down the names in plenty of ways to give the prospect their due credit. We start first with the top 10 prospects, which experienced a bit of a shakeup, particularly in the back half.    Green maintains his No. 1 status as he's been one of the staples for Lafayette Dublin's Mt. Zion group on the Grind Session. His blend of size, skill and versatility all go into making him not only a productive prospect in the now, but one who offers an intriguing ceiling long-term. His play throughout December resulted in picking up a couple of new offers from P5 programs such as NC State and Oklahoma after proving himself against some of the top-ranking high school programs in the country. As the season progresses, it's safe to assume that his skillset will continue to evolve and more programs will look into investing in the former Camden High School product.     Lyons has lived up to his billing as the class's top guard prospect and although Clinton Grace has struggled to compile the amount of expected wins, it hasn't been due to the lack of overall production from their floor general. One of his recent standout performances came in a loss to Dream City Christian (AZ) where he put forth an impressive 30-point performance against top-100 guards in the 2026 and 2027 classes respectively. A lot of the Clinton Grace struggles have rested on their lack of consistent three-point shooting, but it's Lyons' ability to touch the paint, break his man down consistently off the bounce and demand the gravity that opens up those shots, which he delivers on target off the live dribble. With improved efficiency in his own right from beyond the arc and proving he can engineer Clinton Grace to a league title and beyond, he'd make a strong push for potentially the No. 1 spot come spring.     There's no questioning the ceiling that Woodard has as an elite athletic forward at 6-foot-8 who can put his chin on the rim or make plays at either end that you rarely see at the high school level. He's done the same in spurts this season for McNamara that have made their waves through different social media vessels. The biggest factor with Woodard is continuing to progress towards stages of improvement with overall feel and IQ. Little things such as playing to his strengths, providing value as a guy playing out of short rolls or simply time/score shot selection could easily move his name up the ranks with the intangibles that not many other prospects in the country can bring to the table.     Veney has adjusted fairly well to becoming the primary scorer that the Cadets needed him to be this season. His combination of size, strength and two-way impact make him a prospect that college programs from various DI levels are keeping close tabs on. He has St. John's (DC) currently sitting with an 11-4 overall record as the thick of WCAC play approaches. It'll be interesting from an evaluation standpoint to see how his game prospers given the thorough scouting and preparation from conference foes, but Veney's game and IQ should allow him to expand his game nicely with what should be a strong spring/summer ahead.     Condon has generated some of the most buzz within conversations with college programs this season of this group. His productivity, efficiency and lunch pale approach as four-man who exudes winning is something that programs at the next level will covet. His individual productivity along with his improved efficiency from beyond that arc to provide floor-spacing are two of the main reasons he received a boost in this update. The Quakers had a few hiccups in the beginning of the season, but have since showed signs of turning a corner as they've won 5-straight to sit with a 6-4 record heading into a big matchup against Bullis this weekend.     Coming into the season, St. Frances' roster was nearly depleted from the transfer portal, but Jones remained as a foundational piece that was expected to shoulder much of the offensive production. He's done that and more while leading the Panthers to a couple of wins over top-15 programs while sporting an 18-3 record. They've exceeded all expectations and Jones' dynamic scoring ability is a main reason for their success. Whether it's designed offensive sets or creating something out of nothing, having a savvy scoring southpaw like Jones has proven to be a formula for success for head coach Nick Myles and company. His impact on winning has warranted slight boost in this update.     Malonga is another versatile hybrid forward in this class with an intriguing long-term ceiling giving his budding skillset combined with a long, athletic frame. He's shown progression in various areas of his game including his face-up attack from the perimeter or in the mid-range. He poses as an elite lob threat both in transition or designated half court sets. His physical makeup makes way for a defender who can slide down multiple positions while keeping his man in front, battling on the block with leverage and maintaining his presence on the glass.     The definition of an anchor, Mancho has provided just that for the defending BCL and MIAA A Conference champions. They'll be in good position to defend that title as they sit with a 15-4 overall record and recently just lost their first conference game to a surging John Carroll team. As for Mancho individually, he's been a disruptive force around the rim defensively and a determined rebounder even out of his area. He's one of the most willing communicators you'll find in the region, which provides clarity to his teammates on coverages in a number of scenarios. Offensively, he stays to what he does best and that's setting punishing screens, rolling with a purpose and finishing strong through contact around the bucket.     Taylor maintains his stay in the top-10 despite some hurdles here to start his junior campaign. He's one of the more explosive athletes playing off two feet and can command the rim similar to a player who is 6-foot-8 rather than 6-foot-5. His finishing around or above the rim has remained strong, but we are still waiting on some signs of a game from 15-feet and out as he'll need to develop that aspect to produce at the Division I level. He's a strong-framed forward who can use his strength and athleticism to guard 2-5 at the high school level. His production and overall development will be an x-factor to St. John's competing for a potential WCAC title this season.     Scott makes his debut in the top-10 and it comes well deserved. Viewed as arguably the best player in the Maryland Public School sector, Scott has Meade buzzing with an unblemished 10-0 record and positioned to be serious contenders for not only the Anne Arundel County crown, but the Class 4A state title. He's proving himself as a lead guard who can call his own number when necessary or a guy who can play make and elevate those around him. The Mustangs' overall success ultimately rides on the shoulders of Scott and so far, the signs that he's given have been nothing but optimistic for what is to come.
