<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their final season of AAU is getting started and the 2027 class are officially Seniors in basketball terms. This class is good and deep with several players already holding multiple D1 offers already. These rankings have a total of 268 players ranked for the class and there have been several new names in this update as well as some serious movement, including a new number one overall for the rankings. Let's dive into the top 5 in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127277"],"_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-69ca77bf4e977"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Langhi moves up from 4th in the rankings to top of the class on the back of a big time Junior season. Matthew averaged 27 points and 5 rebounds per game while playing with the ball in his hands quite a bit. He also lived at the free throw line this season, averaging 8 makes per game and shooting 86% from the line. Matthew managed to score more points at the free throw line than most kids in Kentucky average in an entire season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2122438"],"_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-69ca77bf4e9e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Montez drops a spot to number 2 overall but only because Langhi had such a strong season. Gay has great positional size as a wing and is one of the better athletes in the state. Montez shot an impressive 58% from the field and could have been among the state leaders in dunks per game. With his skill set and size, Gay projects as a MM+ or HM shooting guard. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745583"],"_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-69ca77bf4ea36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best pure scorers in the state's recent history, Keathley has already scored over 3,000 points in his career and should get over 4,000 points before graduation. After posting shooting splits of 57/47/86 and scoring over 1,000 points in his Junior year, Braxton has solidified himself as the top bucket getter in Kentucky right now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1751495"],"_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-69ca77bf4ea7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Forgive me for sounding like a broken record but Brown is at his best as an isolation scorer and is one of the best I've seen in my time covering the state. Ja"rye should be the 6th region player of the year next season and is likely to see a whole bunch of new offers come his way over the upcoming AAU season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745592"],"_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-69ca77bf4eac3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jack just helped get Grayson County to one of their best seasons in school history and will be a front runner for Mr. Basketball next year. The lone committed 2027 in Kentucky, Logsdon is headed to Western Kentucky for college but still has a lot of work to do before he becomes a Topper. A big wing with the ability to knock down shots all over the court, Logsdon excels as a slasher but can also catch and shoot at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
