2027 Rankings Update: Top Sleepers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2027 rankings were updated last week and this rising Senior class has a ton of talent in it, from top to bottom. Here's a look at some of the better "sleeper" prospects in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2332028"],"_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-69d3e7526eff9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Acton had been the man for Owensboro for 2 years before transferring to Daviess County last summer. After taking a secondary role this year, expect Acton to be the man for the Panthers in his Senior year. A big time scorer, Michael is primed for a big year and could have an equally as big AAU season this spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2960479"],"_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-69d3e7526f07e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daviess County's biggest rival has benefited from an international transfer who arrived last summer. Cruz is a big guard who can live in the paint on the offensive end. He struggled from the perimeter this season but averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game for the 3rd region Semifinalists. A good athlete who can guard multiple positions, look for Carlos to potentially be a breakout player this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2969745"],"_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-69d3e7526f0f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson doesn't get many headlines but he was the heart and soul of the state championship GRC team. JaMylyn averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds per game while applying relentless pressure on the defensive end. Johnson was actually the best shooter on the GRC roster when he was hitting 39% from three over the course of the season. He already has an offer from Tennessee Wesleyan and should see more this AAU season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2411599"],"_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-69d3e7526f14e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnny was limited to 13 games after transferring to J-Town from Eastern. Statistically, nothing he did this season was impressive but look for McFarland to be a breakout star next season. Johnny may be the best athlete in the 2027 class if you're looking for a run and jump athlete. He can make a difference on the boards and seems like the kid who goes to Juco as a sleeper and ends up as a really good college player after a year or two at that level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121733"],"_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-69d3e7526f1a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you're looking for a player who plays with all out effort, all the time, [player_tooltip player_id='2121733' first='Brody' last='Little'] is your guy. Brody is capable of playing on or off the ball and can score or facilitate. He's comfortable playing on the ball on defense, too. Little is smart with a high basketball IQ and is able to switch and guard multiple positions. Brody is a top player for a good Belfry squad and is off to a good start in AAU with [program_tooltip program_id='2335148' first='Kentuckiana' last='Hoops'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
