After the Team USA minicamp at Final Four weekend I declared that Daughtry would be the most productive point guard from the 2027 class at the college level and he's taken his game to new heights as the most dominant player on the EYBL circuit, winning a Peach Jam title and league MVP. Daughtry's combination of pace, ball handling, passing and skill makes him an almost impossible cover for defenses and he recently posted his top 14 schools that includes programs like Kentucky, Louisville, Iowa, Uconn, Arkansas, Florida, Miami (FL) and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2112009"],"_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-6a9741829404c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The combination of scoring, physicality and athleticism that Black has made him a dominant scoring force on the EYBL circuit this summer as he continued to climb up the national rankings and sits at the number one spot nationally on both 247 and ESPN. Black is the younger brother of NBA lottery pick Anthony Black and you see some similarities with their passing and driving ability. Black is a much better shooter and scorer at the same age than his older brother, but is a few inches shorter than his big bro. Black is on one of the most stacked high school teams in the country and will look to end his high school career with OTE and Chipotle National's titles this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1948021"],"_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-6a97418294072"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A prospect with as much natural talent as anybody in the 2027 class, Rosser is extremely close with the top two players as each of the top three prospects are listed in our Florida state rankings. Rosser comes to Southeastern Prep from North Carolina, where he teams up with [player_tooltip player_id='2112009' first='Beckham' last='Black'] to form arguably the best high school duo in the country. Rosser had a monster final EYBL session in Las Vegas, as shots finally started to fall for him from the outside. What gives Rosser such a high floor is his defensive upside as he averaged 3.8 defensive stocks per game on the EYBL circuit. Rosser's name should probably come up more often when discussing the best defensive players in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2375385"],"_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-6a97418294092"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is the most underrated prospect at the top of the national rankings in the country in my eyes. Ranked outside the top 10 on 247, Rivals and ESPN, Davis comes in at number four in our national rankings. The reason why I'm higher than the rest of the rankings industry on Davis? He flat out produces. Davis was arguably the most productive player on the 3SSB circuit, Adidas Eurocamp and ABCD Camp. That combination of settings to dominate in each one makes me believe Davis is destined to be a future star at the college level and a potential NBA lottery pick as well. Curious to see where Davis lands in college and if he makes a late push up the 2027 national rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2436946"],"_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-6a974182940b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A recent reclass from the 2028 class to the 2027 class, Williams lands in the top 5 in his new grade. A pure scorer, Williams played the final three EYBL sessions at the 17 U level with Team CP3, scoring 20 points a contest with his new team. Williams can get to the foul line, make shots off the catch and create his own shot at a high level. Williams is a two time gold medalist with Team USA and holds dozens of high major offers but has not posted a final list of schools just yet for him to decide between.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
