2027 Rankings New Additions: Small School

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 class is quickly building a very powerful class and its growing and getting stronger every week. We appreciate the feedback and input from everyone to make this possible. West Virginia recruiting has built itself up over the last three years to be a state that produces 50+ college recruits per year and class of 2027 will be nothing short of that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2715345' first='Micaiah' last='Ehirim'] has been a stellar player for St Joe's since his freshman year last year which resulted in the very young Irish squad advancing to the state tournament. Ehirim so far looks like a quick developing offensive player and a defensive stalwart who can get up and guard multiple positions. Good size, athleticism as well as basketball IQ. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691230' first='Biram' last='Ndiaye'] is a player many will not recognize but those that have seen him in action know he's a rising scorer amongst this class. Coming off the bench at Linsly and providing scoring support and defensive energy, Biram is described as high energy and strong scoring threat. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721078' first='Jayden' last='Walker'] is certainly one of the most athletic on this list and averaging 10ppg early in his sophmore year. Walker has a plethora of offensive move with ball in hand and super quick first step. If he develops into an elite level ball handler Walker could quickly be one of the state's elite guards. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691124' first='Kaiden' last='West'] is already to 6'3" and shooting the ball at a great rate from deep. Playing at the Expressions Prep school squad is a tough task but West has started taking advantage of his time and finding a way to get a bucket each game he's in. High ceiling for this young wing and big AAU season coming up. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2690991' first='Konnor' last='Fox'] is quickly becoming a big part of Wyoming East's success. While his physical side still develops Fox's basketball skill has grown and become very efficient. While having a player with Fox's size in AA is a luxury, this sophomore F/C has made huge contributions on the boards and with put backs as well as provide rim protection for this state tournament contender. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721151' first='Amari' last='Helm'] has been very impressive for the Beavers in scoring but also leading the team as a point guard as well as defensively. Bluefield who had to replace an entire lineup of seniors has reloaded with young upstart players such as Helm and starting to see great production. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721128' first='Gage' last='Green'] provides excellent minutes off the bench for the Wildcats who could be the AA favorite in WV. Green has great size and skill and can add depth at multiple positions. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2639442' first='Kyler' last='Carpenter'] is one of the fastest rising sophomores in this first half of the season. The long and lanky guard skilled soph has an obvious skillset that has put Carpenter in scoring position many times this season. Carpenter's most impressive skill is rebounding though as he has great anticipation of the ball and uses his length to snatch it out of the air. One good offseason of weight training and Carpenter could be elite in several areas. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691008' first='Kadyn' last='Hines'] is quickly becoming another James Monroe star on this young upstart team who's more than used to success. Hines stat line is an impressive 11ppg, 7rebs, 2 steals and 2 assists. Impressive for a 6'0" guard with lots of talent surrounding him. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2691009' first='Jayden' last='Miller'] is another James Monroe youngster who's already making a mark posting 7ppg and another guard who's talent has helped provide a boost for the Mavericks. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721059' first='Parker' last='Bell'] is a tough cookie at 5'5" but has produced and produced big for a sophomore. Bell has poured in enough points to average 13ppg and lead Tygarts Valley to a 4-1 record.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721085' first='Landon' last='Boggs'] has provided some much needed inside presence for the Knights as they battle against AA teams that regularly have them outsized. Don't sleep on Boggs' ability to step outside and stroke it from three either, he's a high percentage shooter from deep. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721075' first='Kolten' last='Holbert'] has climbed into the top ten in scoring for 2027's on MaxPreps at 11ppg. Holbert has been a key contributor for the Gilmer County Titans. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2721077' first='Brennen' last='Carpenter'] has averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds per game thus far during the season which is more than impressive by a guard. Carpenter has been one of the top players for Calhoun County in the first 8 games. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
