But what he showed exceeded expectations as he leveled up in every way. He went from a fringe varsity prospect as a sophomore to a focal point and one of the top prospects in the conference his junior season. Carr put up 13 points and 9.6 rebounds a game. Carr finished with 10 double-doubles, was a glass cleaner who kept plays alive for teammates, and gave second-chance opportunities. He also improved offensively as a rim-rocking big man who shows excellent footwork, finishes well in traffic, and doesn't shy away from contact. He was a 2nd Team All-Conference prospect and proved he belonged. He made a big jump in the rankings as a result, and I'm sure we'll see plenty of him this summer. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2419981"],"_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-69cea62729b26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ash is a prospect I am very curious about. He's got good size at 6'3, runs the floor well, and his play is impactful. He always seems to be at the right spot and was a loud standout as his team clinched back-to-back state championships. He averaged 8.8 points a game and also dished out 3.3 assists a game, and that was with having to share the ball with one of the best scorers in Colorado history. He constantly moved, and the ball found him. When it got sticky, he cut and made himself available and also showed versatility as a playmaker. I do hope to see Ash this summer and at our Fall showcases to get a better gauge of him as a prospect, but with his play this year and the huge hole that he will have to fill next season, I expect him to be a player who is on many radars. He makes a jump in the rankings with room to grow.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2574721"],"_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-69cea62729b75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2574721' first='Jonah' last='Medina'] had a solid season, but his play in the playoffs is what truly makes him stand out and has you questioning just how high his ceiling is. The 6'9 big man is a spark off the bench; he plays with fire, and that play is contagious. What really stands out besides his size is the ability to open things up. Medina rides momentum; he makes key plays in big moments in games and can finish both inside and out. He's a prospect who can finish for over-the-top dunks, uses his footwork to get inside and finish at the basket, or can pop in the PnR and hit the mid range and occasionally the 3-ball. We're curious to see how he looks this summer in preparation for a year that Rock Canyon gets to run it back as the 6A state champs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2403248"],"_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-69cea62729bc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Price is a 6'3 guard who can play both on and off ball, and with the way that he played down the stretch, there's intrigue surrounding him as you can see it. When he's put in a spot to be able to make decisions freely, to attack and play within the flow of the offense, he's dangerous, and we saw that in the last month of the season, where he was consistently putting up double-digit scoring games. Price was the team's second leading scorer as he was a solid scoring contributor next to 6A's leading scorer. He put up 9.6 points and 4.3 rebounds a game, was a big reason that Regis won their playoff game against Denver South, and showed he's a player worth looking more into. Price makes a rise in the rankings, and with a big summer and getting out to a few of our events, we can get more eyes on him with room to possibly grow even more. Solid year for him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2881973"],"_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-69cea62729c0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Henry made the jump from JV to varsity this year and was one of the bigger jumps in the entire state. He was impactful and a core piece to a state championship team that needed his contributions. He has excellent size, he's relentless inside, and he knows his way around the basket. Henry has soft touch, excellent footwork, and he runs the baseline for easy baskets. He averaged 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds a game, fit seamlessly in the offense, and it seemed to click for him at the halfway point of the season. He did not look back. His upside is obvious, and we want to see him continue to progress. He makes a huge jump in the rankings with room to grow.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2027 class is loaded with talent, but what really stands out is the upside across the board. These are players who are just scratching the surface, showing flashes of what they can become with continued development. With size, skill, and tools to build on, this group has the potential to make serious jumps as they continue to grow and refine their game.
