<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hillsborough County continues to be one of Florida's most competitive and talent-rich areas, and the Class of 2027 is no different. From dynamic backcourt playmakers to versatile wings and emerging frontcourt prospects, several seniors have taken significant steps forward this season. Here's a closer look at the top 2027 prospects from Hillsborough County heading into the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125480"],"_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-69a21038449f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grimsley averaged 16.7 points per game, emerging as a steady and productive presence at the lead guard position. The junior is a high academic prospect with good quickness and a high basketball IQ. He plays with confidence and consistently makes the right reads within the flow of the offense. He is a solid open shot maker who can stretch the defense, but he is equally effective getting into the paint to create opportunities for himself or set up teammates. His strong feel for the game and ability to balance scoring with playmaking make him a well-rounded and dependable backcourt leader.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396992"],"_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-69a2103844a63"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Flores turned in a dynamic season, averaging 23 points and 5.7 assists per game while knocking down 71 three-point field goals. A natural scorer with good basketball instincts, he consistently finds ways to put the ball in the basket against a variety of defensive looks. He can create his own offense off the bounce, stretch the floor as a reliable three-point shooter, and draw contact when attacking the lane. Expect Flores to be a rankings stock riser this offseason and in the eyes of college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532283"],"_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-69a2103844ab9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The junior put together an outstanding season for Carrollwood Day, averaging 19.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game while serving as a primary offensive option. A high-academic prospect with good positional size, he brings an appealing blend of production and long-term upside. He is very effective getting to the rim, using strength and body control to attack downhill and finish creatively in the paint. As his perimeter shot making continues to improve, his overall offensive package is expanding, making him an increasingly difficult matchup on the wing.</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":"Johnny Lazaidis","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Newsome","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a2103844b76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A highly skilled junior, he has emerged as one of the more polished scorers in his class, averaging over 18 points per game. He is a true three-level scorer who can stretch the floor with range, operate comfortably in the midrange, and finish effectively at the rim. A confident shot maker, he forces defenses to respect him well beyond the arc. Coupled with his high basketball IQ, he understands how to pick his spots, read coverages, and impact the game efficiently within the flow of the offense.</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":"Nick Korpi","_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":"6'0u0022","_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":"Wharton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69a2103844c1b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Highly skilled and highly productive, Korpi averaged 20.4 points per game while knocking down 84 three-point field goals this season. A very shifty guard with a good command of the ball, he consistently creates separation and gets by defenders off the bounce. He is a true three-level scorer, capable of stretching the floor from deep, operating in the midrange, and attacking the rim. In the paint, he shows creativity and touch, finishing with craft against size and length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
