National 2027 Prospects Only Found on Prep Hoops Part 2

Our national 2027 rankings were updated this week and in this article we'll break down five prospects who are not ranked in the national top 150 on any public rankings site (247, ESPN or Rivals) at the moment.    One of the elite shooters in the 2027 class, Taggart is firing away seven times a game from long distance during the EYBL for City Rocks. Taggart does a nice job relocating off the basketball and has a quick release and good pre-catch habits to catch and shoot past a hard closeout. Taggart's Putnam Science School has joined the OTE league and I'd assume the fast and open style of play will be beneficial for Taggart. I'd imagine Taggart contributes early in his college career if he picks a local mid major program, La Salle and Iona are recent offers for Taggart.     The top ranked player in Colorado has had a big impact for the Utah Mountain Stars this spring as they sit at 5-3 on the UAA Circuit. Both Howery and second ranked in Colorado's 2027 class [player_tooltip player_id='1722623' first='Christian' last='Williams'] are scoring double-figures per game with the Mountain Stars and the duo have connected on 33 3-pointers in seven games together. Howery is an elite shooter as he's shooting 45% from 3-point range and 82% from the foul line. Howery committed to in-state powerhouse Colorado State back in the Fall and was named the MaxPreps Player of the year in the state of Colorado last season.     Zachary has lit up nets across the country for both Fishers and [program_tooltip program_id='2076317' first='Midwest' last='Basketball Club 3SSB'] as the undersized guard is one of the top shooters in the country. Zachary has had some monster scoring games on the 3SSB circuit as his touch is absolutely unreal on contested shots. Add in the fact that Zachary contributes to winning on any team he's on as Fishers, Midwest Basketball Club and Indiana Elite have had great success with him leading the way. Florida Gulf Coast and Cal Baptist are recent offers for Zachary but other mid-major programs have been tracking him for well over a year now. It will be interesting to see where Zachary ends up as he's got some special offensive skill.     A player who is taking advantage of a post grad year to reclassify into the 2027 class from the 2026 class, Connor has been a huge part of Team CP3's success this spring. Connor is scoring just under 15 points per game and grabbing the fourth most rebounds per game on the circuit at nine a contest. Mid major programs are quickly taking note of Connor as he holds recent offers from Ohio, Ball State, UNC Greensboro and more.     A state champion with Cincinnati Princeton, Gill was the leading scorer in the conference he shares with a handful of nationally ranked prospects. Gill has also stood out on the 3SSB circuit with Wildcat Select this summer. One of the youngest players in the 2027 class nationally, you wouldn't be able to tell based on how mature Gill's game and frame is. Gill is being pursued by basically every MAC program in Ohio, becoming a priority recruit across the midwest and beyond. Look for Gill to continue to elevate his stock with Princeton in June during KABC and Midwest Live in front of Division I coaches.
