Ripp continues to be one of the more underrated players in Colorado’s 2027 class, and he backed that up with a strong showing at Colorado Live for Ponderosa. He looked comfortable running the offense as the primary ball handler, playing with confidence and poise against defensive pressure. His intensity stood out on every possession, whether attacking the basket or knocking down shots from the perimeter. Ripp also showed the ability to score from all three levels while keeping his head up to make smart reads and create opportunities for teammates. His all around play made a lasting impression

Mason has been a bit of a game-changer for Ponderosa, who gets in the game and tries to impact it with his activity and ability to do it all. He scores, rebounds, shoots, and has provided a spark by filling in where needed. He’s a glue guy who has his moments. He had a game where he finished with 12 points on efficient shooting, and others where he barely shot and focused on rebounding and defense, and those are habits you build that earn you extra minutes. This is his first time making the rankings, and he is a player who can improve with consistency.
