<p>The newest 2027 rankings have just been released. These were some players that were ranked outside the top 75, but I think they will still be very valuable in the AIA setting. Here are some of my standouts below:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2885162' first='Jacob' last='Vasiloff'] <strong>Rancho Solano Prep:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A well-sized wing does his job for Rancho. He scores efficiently for this squad. Jacob can get to the rack and finish inside well. But, along with that, he has a nice jumper that he uses often. He crashes the glass hard and secures the rebounds. He will have a great year for Rancho as they look to continue their success.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2164464' first='William' last='Heinrichs'] <strong>Arcadia:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A returning starter for the state champions will look to increase his role. Will can hit the catch-and-shoot 3 at a high rate but will use pumpfakes to get into the midrange area and cash in from there. He is a hard-nosed defender and gets a lot of steals in the halfcourt. He'll continue to make an impact for this team.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2423049' first='Ben' last='Petrick'] <strong>Pinnacle:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The three-point sniper looks to make his mark on Pinnacle. Ben plays a huge role for this team as a 3-and-D player. He plays to his strengths on both sides of the ball and has a high IQ. He makes the right pass and is a great leader to have on your team. Ben will be a piece in Pinnacle's success this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2136339' first='Adryan' last='Miller'] <strong>Gilbert:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A recent transfer from out of state, he has already made himself known. Adryan has a soft touch around the rim and finishes nicely. He will do some of the dirty work on the glass to get his team extra possessions. He plays amazing defense without fouling in the painted area. Adryan will look to help Gilbert have a bounce-back year. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2746700' first='Carter' last='Glass'] <strong>Sandra Day O'Connor:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Arguably the best shooter in the state plays to his advantage. On offense, he is constantly moving without the ball, trying to find an open look. When he does get a clean look, he normally knocks it down. He isn't a liability on defense and can defend his man. Carter will look to have a breakout year in a much bigger role this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2292817' first='Kadin' last='Williams'] <strong>Sunnyslope:</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another player who is playing alongside a HM talent and is able to find his role. Kadin is a consistent three-point shooter who gets lots of clean looks. He plays hard defensively and, as a result, gets steals that lead to easy buckets. He will play a huge role for this Sunnyslope team all season long.</p>
