<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2027 rankings update saw 25 players make leaps up the list and in this article we'll break down five prospects who made leaps up the list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2306396"],"_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-6a864abb2235c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect who has offers from some of the top Division II programs in the country, Perkins is maybe the best rebounder in Ohio and should fit in well with whichever school he picks due to his motor. Perkins had an excellent summer with both Lutheran East and [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last=''] as he is a straight up ass kicker in the paint. With Lutheran East up to Division I they'll need Perkins to step up every game in the postseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2222756"],"_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-6a864abb22397"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the elite performers on the UA Rise circuit, Waters was one of the most efficient scorers on the elite circuit. An elite shooter, Waters puts up incredible percentages from 3-point range and is an underrated scorer from inside the arc. Waters had a couple of scholarship offers from Division II and NAIA programs and could be nearing a decision soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2459058"],"_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-6a864abb223b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It's hard to find quality bigs and Hester can move his feet, block shots and score in the pick and roll. On a Toledo St Francis team that has a nice blend of guard talent and size, they should be a contender in the Detroit Catholic League and Division II. I'll be looking for Hester to help lead the Knights to be one of the top defenses in Ohio and anchor a unit that should allow them to run in transition whenever they want.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2882195"],"_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-6a864abb223d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the elite shooters in Ohio, Theobalds put up silly shooting numbers for Rice Basketball Academy on the NxtPro circuit. Theobalds continued this hot shooting with Toledo St John's in June and that's where I was able to catch him and see how much he's improved. Theobalds will be a primary scorer for Toledo St John's this season after they graduated a handful of seniors who made a big impact for them. If Theobalds can make a defensive impact he will be a high priority for regional scholarship programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2856539"],"_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-6a864abb223f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maybe the most improved player in Ohio from March to June, Tucker had a monster month of June for Summit Country Day and was incredibly confident with the ball in his hands. Tucker had some monster dunks driving down the lane and was getting by his man from the triple threat with success. Tucker has seen a spike in his recruiting interest and will be a main option for a Summit Country Day squad that should have state title aspirations in Division V.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
