<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2027 National Rankings were released today and we have a handful of prospects that we ranked higher than any other public national rankings website (247, ESPN + Rivals) and in this article we'll spotlight five of those players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2139297"],"_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-6a275c6193668"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 26th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Highest National Ranking: 44th ESPN</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lyons was a standout at Team USA minicamp in April and made the final 18 for the 18 U team, going further than many higher ranked peers at his position. Lyons has picked up recent SEC offers from Missouri and Tennessee as well as other high major programs like Boston College and Butler. Lyons has made the move to Team Takeover and is the teams second leading scorer. Lyons missed Session III in Kansas City and his team went 0-4 without him, showing his impact on the team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2294414"],"_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-6a275c61936c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 28th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Highest National Ranking: 35th Rivals</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jenkins Jr is one of the most talented athletes in the 2027 class with excellent defensive versatility and movement skills. I love the physical tools Jenkins Jr plays with and he's flashed some playmaking ability as well. For Jenkins Jr, he has easy avenues to improve as a player with his touch around the rim being a main area that can improve. Jenkins Jr is a good free throw shooter for his size, so I believe he can develop his touch on layups and shots around the basket. Not a readymade prospect but Jenkins Jr has the potential to be an impact high major prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140949"],"_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-6a275c619370f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops Ranking: 33rd</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Highest National Ranking: 53rd Rivals</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The leading scorer on one of the top EYBL teams who is one of the most efficient scorers in the country with positional size and a brother in the NBA seems like an easy sell for college programs and rankings sites but Knueppel is ranked outside the top 50 on Rivals, outside the top 80 on ESPN and outside the top 100 on 247 at the moment. To me this is one of the more shocking rankings in this class as Knueppel is shooting over 50% from 3-point range for [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro'] who sit at 9-2 and are one of the clear favorites to win Peach Jam. I'd expect Knueppel to be an impact player at the high major level early in his career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194337"],"_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-6a275c6193752"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops National Ranking: 43rd</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Highest National Ranking: 61st 247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team Thrill are consistently one of the top programs on the UAA circuit and currently sit unbeaten at 8-0 on the 17 U circuit. Davis is scoring almost twice as many PPG as the next highest scorer on his team and is shooting 50% from the floor this spring. After starting for Spire last season, Davis projects as one of the top players in the Nike Scholastic League this season and could push for a McDonald's All American spot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1751496"],"_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-6a275c6193793"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prep Hoops National Ranking: 60th</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Next Highest National Ranking: 76th 247</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wright was dominant on the Nike Scholastic Circuit, racking up monster rebounding and efficiency numbers as a floor spacing forward. Wright has decided to return home for the summer and will be playing with Louisville Fairdale in June as the Louisville Cardinals commit should get a lot of love from his hometown team during the first June live period. In July, Wright will look to lead Indy Heat to another Peach Jam title after their group won the 16 U championship last summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
