2027 Rankings Shake-Up: Key Changes From 11–20

In this article, I feature players ranked from 11–20 in the latest rankings update. There were a few notable additions to this range, including [player_tooltip player_id='2635490' first='Grayson' last='Williams'], [player_tooltip player_id='2447899' first='Alex' last='Hutchison'] (pictured), and [player_tooltip player_id='2471021' first='Jacory' last='Boyce'].    [player_tooltip player_id='2128634' first='Brady' last='Robinson'] holds firm in the #11 position. He has many of the attributes needed to have a breakout season for the Palo Verde Panthers. He can heat up from 3-point land rather quickly and he also scores inside when he utilizes his height + length. On the other end of the court, Robinson can alter shots and he chases down rebounds regularly. Keep an eye for him this season.     [player_tooltip player_id='1945840' first='Ien' last='Kirkland'] has been bumped up to #12 in the updated 2027 rankings due to his overall skill, athleticism and size. He is one of the stronger junior defenders who can stifle opponents with his reach and quickness. Kirkland also has a notable max vertical (34 in.) which allows him to play above the rim on both offense and defense. Look for him to make some waves with his new squad, the 5A Democracy Prep Blue Knights.     [player_tooltip player_id='2635490' first='Grayson' last='Williams'] makes a significant jump and is now slotted in the #13 spot. He has continued to improve as a player, and man can he shoot when he really gets going. He also does a solid job of attacking the basket and uses his coordination to drop in tough, contested layups. Expect him to be a vital part of Legacy's success this year.     [player_tooltip player_id='2447899' first='Alex' last='Hutchison'] is another stock riser who has moved all the way up to #14. He impressed me a lot throughout the fall, showcasing his shooting, instincts, and competitiveness. He can knock down both jumpers and triples, and I also like how much effort he gives when it's time to D up or rebound. If he can both lead and produce for the Mustangs, they may find themselves making a deep playoff run.     [player_tooltip player_id='2471021' first='Jacory' last='Boyce'] has cracked the top 20 and now holds the #15 position. He has really burst onto the scene for the Wildcats and gives them some real juice. His explosive first step is tough for defenders to match, and he often leaves them in the dust. I also like how he helps Las Vegas push the pace with his transition play. Overall, there's a lot to like about his game, and he will be a prospect I continue to monitor this winter.     [player_tooltip player_id='2240785' first='Kenny' last='Williams'] moves up a couple of spots and is now #16 in the rankings. He is one of the more athletic guards in Las Vegas and consistently utilizes his acceleration skills to create the separation he needs to get his shot off. He also makes his presence felt on defense, and can pick off passes or pick his opponent's pocket. Expect him to be a playmaker for the Wolves game in and game out this year.     [player_tooltip player_id='1965276' first='Quentin' last='Stewart'] is now in the #17 slot. He's starter for the Desert Pines Jaguars at Power Forward this season, and he's been taking things up a notch with his defense. I first noticed him using his size and frame more against Bishop Manogue, and he also looked more physical against Clark earlier this week. If he can continue to lock in and stay out of foul trouble, he'll likely give even more opposing forwards problems.     I recently wrote about Jennings Jr. after the Mustangs defeated the Green Valley Gators. He is a dynamic forward who makes a positive impact with his vocal leadership, scoring ability, and defensive presence. That unique blend makes him especially valuable, as he elevates the play of those around him and contributes in multiple phases of the game.     [player_tooltip player_id='2618033' first='Gabriel' last='Barisic'] has recently joined the Bishop Gorman Gaels, giving them even more size and shooting. He stands at about 6'7" and can stretch the floor when he gets open on the perimeter. He also has solid rebounding ability and knows how to use his wingspan on defense. All in all, the pieces are there. He just needs to produce and help the Gaels win games     [player_tooltip player_id='2352170' first='Cordet' last='Espinoza'] still holds down the #20 spot. He's a skilled shooting guard for the Foothill Falcons who makes an impact on both offense and defense. On offense, he can pour in shots from beyond the arc or get to the line when he makes a strong drive. While on defense, Espinoza is very active and doesn't shy away from fighting for loose balls or tying it up.
