<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2027 rankings update went live on Wednesday and in this article we'll take a look at eight prospects who made their debut this week in our rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2716906"],"_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-698e1cea09397"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better shooters in central Ohio's 2027 class, Guth shoots an extremely high percentage from long distance. Guth scored 19 points in a win over Eastmoor Academy and also scored 19 points in an MVP performance at the Holiday Hoopla. Dublin Coffman has won four games in a row heading into a massive rivalry game Vs Upper Arlington, a team who beat them in overtime back in January. Expect to hear more about Guth this summer playing for Midwest Basketball Club MHC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2532410"],"_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-698e1cea0940a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A player who got onto the radar last year when Glenville made a run to the Division IV state title game, Hobson Jr is a tough wing who wants to rebound and defend the top player on the opposing team. The lefty is also a capable shot maker off the catch and overall checks a lot of boxes for an undersized player for his position. Sometimes it takes heart over height and Hobson Jr is an example of a player who plays bigger and stronger than the height listed on the roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2970636"],"_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-698e1cea0945c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I caught Triway at the Battle at the Berkey and was impressed with how Hackett moved for his size. In the open court Hackett covers a lot of ground and has the length to become an impact defender down the road. In the game I caught, Hackett had a couple nice drive and scores at the rim and looks like a player who could still make a major jump prior to his senior season. A name regional small college programs will want to know this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396827"],"_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-698e1cea094c9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Olentangy Orange had a slow start to the season but their only three losses in the new year have been to Princeton, Newark and Westerville North, three of the top 10 teams in the state regardless of Division. Ceol is a big time athlete who has had some breakout performances this season, most notably against Dublin Coffman and Cincinnati Aiken. I expect Ceol to play an even larger role as a senior and become a priority small college target if he continues to improve his offensive skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125752"],"_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-698e1cea09520"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The GMC is arguably the most loaded conference in Ohio and Hamilton is sitting right at .500 in league play this season thanks to guys like Mills. Third on the team in scoring at just over 9 PPG, Mills has connected on 47 3-pointers already this season. Mills career-high was 25 points in a close loss to Beavercreek, but he's most known around Cincinnati for scoring 44 points combined in two key conference wins over Middletown. Looking comfortable making the move from Preble Shawnee to the GMC, Mills should be targeting an all-conference level season as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2809930"],"_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-698e1cea0957f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Warrensville Heights has turned a corner in 2026, after starting 3-4 they are 8-3 since the calendar has flipped to the new year and that's thanks to guys like Billingslea stepping up. A prolific shot maker off the catch, Billingslea plays well off the Tigers other dribble drive guards that can kickout to him on the perimeter. Holding a 3.5 GPA, Billingslea should be targeted by small college programs looking to add a shooter in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3258294"],"_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-698e1cea095e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The second prospect this article from the loaded OCC-Central Division, Graves and Upper Arlington will square off with Guth and Dublin Coffman for a rivalry game rematch that went to overtime in the first meeting. Graves is an elite set shooter who had a breakout performance at Flyin' to the Hoop Vs Kettering Alter. Another one of the top shooters in central Ohio's 2027 class, Graves does a nice job moving without the basketball and using the threat of his jumper to open up space for his teammates and be able to drive aggressive closeouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813472"],"_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-698e1cea09646"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A multi-sport athlete for North Royalton just like fellow 2027 debut [player_tooltip player_id='3269123' first='Nolan' last='Klingbeil'], Lee excels on the gridiron and hardwood for the Bears. In the state-semifinals Vs Massillon Perry, Lee had led all scorers with 12 points at halftime. Also scoring 29 points in a win over Walsh Jesuit, Lee can get hot with his feet set. With a big game tonight against Stow, North Royalton can lock up second place in the Suburban League National Division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
