Evolving 2027s this Spring

Coons has been a flamethrower as a shooter in the 918. A recent viewing of Team Oklahoma in a tough match up had him showing off more of his all around game. He looked bulked up and physical on the ball, leveraging his strength to shrug off defenders, protect the ball and get downhill. The gritty mindset translated on the defensive end as well, as he's willing to slide over and take charges. Shooting already gave Coons a next level trait, but the exciting progression of his all around skillset should have him be among the best guards in Tulsa this winter.     After a monstrous junior year as the main man for Guthrie, Smedley is now a key cog for one of the top grassroots programs in the region. In the victory watched, he played his role well as a grinder providing off the ball scoring. Smart movements to the high post, cuts to the rim and physical finishes. Plays off of two feet, uses pump fakes and patience to score in traffic.   A high flyer in transition, the 2027 wing is sure to draw college coach's attention with highlight reel plays. And then they'll appreciate the consistent and smart ways he positively impacts games.     The bouncy prospect looks to be coming more and more into his own as a potential perimeter player. He played with good energy in the contest watched back, including a coast to coast take after pushing off a defensive rebound. Looks more smooth and confident with decisive drives in the halfcourt as well. And even popping into the high post and hitting tough turnaround jumpers. There's always been a lot to like of the potential of Moore and it appears he's starting to spread his wings as a priotity target for regional colleges.     In past viewings of Hankins, his lead guards skills have often been his top attribute. The 405 guard can be an unselfish table setter. While in this recent game watched back, he was dialed in from three. It wasn't just toe hugging the lines makes, he was letting it fly from a few steps beyond the high school line. Hitting multiple of them with ease. Point guards who can stretch the floor, then carve up the defense are always valuable at the next level.     Braun fittingly brought some power to a [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin'] Academy victory. He was a grown man on the boards, with powerful putbacks. Along with the rebounding, he has active hands on defense. Deflecting passes and even closing out to block a shot along the perimeter. The multi-sport standout should be better prepared this winter to provide defense and rebounds for the 4A contending Rockets.
