Prep Hoops Indiana 2027 Rankings – New Names

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ahead the two upcoming live periods, and coming off a busy spring and month of July in the gym, we have updated and expanded our Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2027 prospect rankings. We now feature a Top 150 with nearly 550 total prospects in the database. As always, we strive to do more than just blast out a rankings update for clicks and subscriptions. We dive deeper highlighting stock-risers, new names, Watch List standouts, and much more. Here are some of the top new names that made their debut in this rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3142197"],"_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-6a4ebf06636e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker has made the jump from Fishers' junior varsity as a junior after transferring in from Texas to starting games for the Tigers this summer. He is an athletic 6'3" wing that can score it in a variety of ways. We have had the chance to see him knock in shots from the perimeter, use his athleticism to attack the rim, and everything in between. He has some real two-way upside on the perimeter and could have a breakout senior season coming while playing with the likely preseason #1 team in Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194824"],"_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-6a4ebaf1e3ec8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Admittedly, we may still need to move this prospect up some more. Baymond moved back to Indiana and is enrolled at Liberty Christian after an excellent season at West Oaks in Florida. Down south he was playing at a very high level against some of the top players in the country and put up big time scoring numbers and was one of the best shooters in one of the best conferences in the country. The 6'0" shot-maker immediately made a big impact for the Lions at the Charlie Hughes Showcase as well. We've only seen him play live once, but we had to get him into our rankings immediately.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597302"],"_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-6a4ebf066387b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you are interested in above-the-rim finishing a shot-blocking this 6'8" center from Indianapolis Metropolitan is your guy. We had the chance to first see him play this spring in AAU and immediately became intriguing with his two-way ability at the rim. Curtis has a lot of upside and should be tracked closely by small college programs heading into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3688001"],"_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-6a4ebf0663989"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">O'Hara was a prospect we had the chance to see during our trip through The Region during the high school season and he immediately caught our eye playing with Illiana Christian. The 6'9" center moves very well for his size and had success out of the dunker's spot, on the roll, and on the rim run. As he continues to get stronger physically his game could really take a leap to another level. He made his debut at #89 in this prospect rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2477597"],"_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-6a4ebf0663a8e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Murphy's recruitment is starting to take off on the gridiron, but he is playing very well on the hardwood as well. There is always such a plethora of guards coming through the Ben Davis program that it can take awhile to see who will rise to the top and become a key piece. This super athletic 6'0" guard has done just that as a rising senior. Murphy is so explosive when getting downhill and can be a very disruptive defender. He is now ranked in our Top 100 after the latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3662612"],"_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-6a4ebf0663b96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'8" center was flying a bit under-the-radar coming into his junior season, but started to break out late in the year with Blackford High School and carried that momentum into the spring and summer. He is a mobile big man that can elevate from the dunker's spot and beat other bigs on the rim run. Getting stronger and more comfortable with contact inside will be the next step of his development, but there are a lot of tools already present for college coaches to like.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
