Prep Hoops Indiana 2027 Rankings - Top Stock-Risers, Part Two

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. Let's begin here with some of the top stock-risers from this spring.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />    A prospect that averages over 16 points per game on 50/40/90 splits at a Class 4A school shouldn't fly under-the-radar. However, it wasn't until Kalkat led [program_tooltip program_id='2471005' first='Legacy' last='Ice Elite'] 17u to such an excellent spring that college coaches really started to buzz about this 6'2" guard from Whiteland High School. Kalkat has an impressive pop of athleticism that he utilizes to help him score so efficiently from all three levels. He is an excellent prospect for Division II and NAIA programs to track closely.     An injury had kept us from seeing King for a while, but once he came back it was clear that he hadn't missed a beat. We quickly moved him back up from #60 to #38 in our rankings. King has an impressive blend of interior physical strength and perimeter skill. He is probably at his best actually as a three-point shooter or right-hand driver from the perimeter, but he does have the requisite size and strength to give people a hard time inside. That level of versatility has made him very attractive to Division II and NAIA programs this summer.     His elite athleticism at his size gives him a higher ceiling than some other big men in the rising senior class, but even his current levels of production assure that he is a scholarship-level big man for Division II or NAIA programs. Linderman excels on the rim run and out of the dunker's spot, but is really progressing as an offensive threat overall. His rebounding and shot-blocking ability establish a solid floor for him as well. The 6'8" center out of Silver Creek High School jumped from #50 to #21 in our rankings.     From a traditional height perspective it is fair to consider to Pippins a bit "undersized." He is a 6'4" forward that does his best work in the paint. However, Pippins makes up for some lack of height with athleticism and elite physicality. He will simply bully his way through other big men to get rebounds and elevate to finish at the rim inside. Pippins is one of the best offensive rebounders in the state of Indiana and is coming off of an excellent, highly productive spring with UNRNKD Hoops 17u on the EYCL Circuit.     We've been a big fan of Price's for a long time, but he just took a more significant jump in our rankings during this last update. The 6'8" center from Penn High School has quickly proven us right with a strong start out in Las Vegas with UNRNKD Hoops 17u on the EYCL Circuit. He is a strong finisher on the block, rebounds his area well, and holds his own defensively against other big men. There is no doubt he is a scholarship-worthy big man. Price jumped from #48 to #20 in our rankings.     At some point you simply have to let the skill and production tell the story. Ridgway is a 6'6" left-handed forward from Sullivan High School that is a proven three-point shooter. He also possess impressive physical strength and the ability to score on the block, but his upside is obviously connected to his catch-and-shoot ability. That was on full display recently at the Charlie Hughes Showcase. Scholarship programs across all levels that need a stretch 4-man should at least get eyes on this under-the-radar prospect playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2076224' first='DistinXion' last=''] in July.
