Unranked SEPA 2027s to Watch…Part II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week we published our <a href="https://prephoops.com/pennsylvania/rankings/2027-rankings/">updated Class of 2027 rankings</a>. By now you know that dynamic combo guard [player_tooltip player_id='2195052' first='Tyler' last='Sutton'] sits at No 1 in our latest rankings. Sutton is followed closely at No. 2 by outstanding hybrid-forward [player_tooltip player_id='2407095' first='Zion' last='Green']. Both players have each already received several DI offers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we will review four additional unranked Class of 2027 prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania who we will be keeping an eye on over the next couple of months. We expect that when the next edition of our 2027 rankings drops in the fall, the below prospects will be included in that update.     </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kendall Jackson </strong><strong>– 6'1″ / Cheltenham / Philly Elite / Combo Guard:</strong> Jackson is a speedy guard with tight handles and fantastic open court instincts. That trifecta enables him to push the fast break for scores or assists. When he gets to the rim in transition, he can convert through contact. In the half-court, Jackson uses those same assets to create off the dribble for himself and teammates. As a distributor, he excels in drive and kick scenarios. On defense, Jackson is a tenacious on-ball presence. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2883012' first='Kamau' last='Kegler'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / Episcopal Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2428023' first='Philly' last='Revolution'] / Combo Guard:</strong> Kegler is an automatic three-point shooter who moves extremely well without the ball. As his teammates attack the paint, Kegler will slide along the arc and remain in the ball handler's line of vision, ready to receive a kick out pass. That skill is rare among 2027 prospects. If defenders are out of control on their close outs, Kegler will put the ball on the deck and get to the rack. Kegler's ability to work the offensive glass for points is underrated. This summer Kegler was a standout performer at the MADE Hoops Philly Warm-Up as well as the HG Summer Jam Fest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2721488' first='Holland' last='Neff'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / Downingtown East / Uptown BA / Combo Guard: </strong>At Philly HS Live, Neff proved he could serve as a 3-point shooter who spaces the floor as well as a secondary ball handler. When he is not splashing triples, Neff can use dribble drives to get into the paint for floaters or lay-ins. If the defense cuts him off, Neff's court vision and high IQ enable him to execute drop passes to the dunker spot or kick outs to open perimeter shooters. Neff is sneaky athletic and can finish through contact. Thus, he can provide transition scoring too. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ryan Schwind </strong><strong>– 5'11” / Pennridge / Total Skills / Point Guard: </strong>Schwind popped on to our radarin early Juneat the Big Shots Philly Jam. At that tourney he posted games of 20 as well as 19 points. The accurate jump shot on this lefty possesses textbook mechanics, a quick trigger and logo distance range. In short, Schwind is a lights out 3-point shooter. Schwind's endless motor produces constant off-ball movement which makes him extremely difficult to guard. As a nice bonus to his perimeter shooting, Schwind has a knack for turning menacing defense into easy buckets at the other end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
