2027 Rankings: Top Combo Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's very early to rank the freshman class but off the momentum of last week's Freshman Showcase in Louisville and the names that played varsity last season, we already have 70 players in our first ever 2027 rankings. It's only a starting point for rankings and the list will grow and change with each coming update but we have enough information to start our 2027 rankings. Here's a look at the top combo guard prospects in the class. This does not include players who are ranked in the top ten in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745583"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Keathley is a known name in the 2027 class but was a little more difficult to rank than some others because we've not been able to see him live as much as some other prospects. Already a starter for Prestonsburg, Braxton averaged 14 points and 3 rebounds per game on varsity last season. I look forward to seeing more of him as his career progresses.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e4ad9f93662"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2121733"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Likely to be the next man up at Pikeville once [player_tooltip player_id='1043603' first='Eli' last='Johnson'] graduates in May, Brody is primed for a big role for the Panthers as a freshman after getting a small taste of varsity action last year.

Anderson is a tough guard with a pretty good first step that he uses to get past defenders and attack the rim. If his motor is running, he does a lot to help his team win.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e4ad9f93703"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1883193"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Helton is likely to have a rather big role for Scott County as a freshman. In multiple viewings, Colton has been a solid player who doesn't force offense and knows how to hunt his shot when he's playing off the ball. It will be interesting to see what his role will be but Colton could be a top 2027 in the 11th region.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e4ad9f93744"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125718"],"_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_0_evaluation":"Lane is no stranger to the camp circuit and he had a good showing at our Freshman camp event.
