Intriguing 2027s Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With practice on the horizon and first scrimmages about 6 weeks away, I wanted to start looking ahead to the upcoming season. There are plenty of unknowns with this freshman class and a lot of kids I'd like to see more of. Here's a look at some 2027s that have peaked my interest and could be top players in the class, long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1745593"],"_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":"Goodin is a D1 athlete and has already been offered by Eastern Kentucky as a quarterback. His older brother is a freshman at Bellarmine. His dad coached college for years. He's grown up around the game. The only thing keeping him from being a top ranked 2027 right now is that he doesn't play AAU (due to baseball and 7 on 7). Long story short, I'm interested to see how Goodin's game has progressed since I saw him last winter. If his jump shot has improved, he's likely Collins' best player since they lost [player_tooltip player_id='1292861' first='Isaiah' last='Cochran'] to transfer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511db01d1b9f"} /--> <!-- 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 has a lot of hype early in his career and is on his way to being one of the highest career scorers in this class after scoring over 400 points last season for Prestonsburg. The only times I've seen Braxton is in camp settings so I'm interested to view him with his high school team or even in an AAU setting where he should be more willing to facilitate than in camp settings where things tend to break down into one on one and bad basketball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511db01d1cf9"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1751496"],"_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":"As an 8th grader, Wright averaged 9 points and 8 rebounds per game for a DuBois squad that was the youngest in the Commonwealth. I'm interested to see the young man in person because he's one of the few 27s I actually haven't gotten to see yet. At 6'6 and assuming he's still got growing to do, Ferlandas' potential could be way up there, long term.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511db01d1d5e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2131723"],"_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":"Martin came to our freshman camp and left me wanting to see more of him. Jay, like several players in the class, has had a decent amount of early hype leading into his high school career. He will be relied on to produce for McCracken County this season. I was underwhelmed with his performance at freshman camp, maybe because he has gotten hyped up as a top 27 already. I hope to get to see McCracken this season and get a better evaluation of Martin.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6511db01d1db8"} /-->
