<p>Our updated class of 2027 rankings in Southern California featured a good amount of movement, including 43 new additions and a number of prospects who played their way into major stock-rising bumps up the board. In this piece we break down the new additions to the rankings who ended up among the Top 75 prospects in the class.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 55 [player_tooltip player_id='3026766' first='Christian' last='Rogers'] | Campbell Hall | BTI United</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rogers is a quick, shifty and dynamic playmaking point guard who packs a scoring punch and brings defensive intangibles and toughness to the floor. Offensively, the 5-foot-9 junior can get into the lane at-will and score with pull-up jumpers or floaters and can put points on the board in a hurry. Rogers is a menace of an on-ball defender who can really pressure, contain and disrupt opposing ball handlers.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 65 Jaylan Virgil | Torrey Pines | Players Play</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Virgil enters the Southern California mix after transferring from NorCal to Torrey Pines where he put together a strong junior season. The 6-foot-1 point guard is a strong-framed and aggressive scorer who can dial in off-bounce threes or use a quick crossover, first step burst into the lane and score through contact around the rim. Virgil brings a ton of confidence and savvy to the floor.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 66 [player_tooltip player_id='3638379' first='Randall' last='Sanders'] | Loyola | California Gold</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sanders is a hard-hat type of four man whose rim-running activity, mobility in ball screens and rolls and effort and energy on the offensive glass lend to his next-level skill-set. The 6-foot-6 forward runs the floor with purpose and has a solid set of hands and soft touch around the rim when finishing on the move. Sanders also provides some defensive versatility with his size, length and physicality allowing him to defend his position while his fluid lateral athleticism allows him to switch on occasion.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 70 [player_tooltip player_id='3638388' first='Strax' last='Dragicevic'] | Mira Costa | All In Elite</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dragicevic made the move to Manhattan Beach from Serbia and impressed in his first season of high school basketball in the states. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard/wing is a long, wiry, off-ball scoring guard who knock down perimeter jumpers with regularity and has the ball skills and athleticism to create off the bounce and score at the rim on drives or cuts without the ball.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":4} -->
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 73 [player_tooltip player_id='3638392' first='Chayse' last='Miles'] | Steele Canyon | Gamepoint</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Miles had a breakout junior season and is emerging as one of the San Diego-area's top wing prospects. The 6-foot-6 wing has a fluid off-catch three-point shot and a balanced mid-range jumper that he gets off with impressive elevation. Miles has all of the indicators of a late-blooming prospect who could see a major bump up the rankings in our next update.</p>

<!-- wp:heading {"level":4} -->
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">No. 74 [player_tooltip player_id='3638401' first='Caiden' last='Jackson'] | Bakersfield Christian |</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jackson is a well-paced point guard who strikes a good balance between scoring and distributing. The wiry and shifty 5-foot-10 junior leans toward being a playmaker for others as his floor-scanning vision and smooth pace allow him to make high IQ reads and decisions while keeping open the option for him to get a bucket of his own.</p>
