Fresh Scout Reports

Landon Veal#164

PF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Houston Christian

A 6-7 forward who's still a couple years away from his first offer letter, but the frame is already there. Houston Christian isn't exactly a recruiting hotbed, which means Landon Veal is building his name the hard way — through…

Jayden Hopkins#172

PG · 6-1 · Class of 2027

Sunrise Christian Academy

A 6-1 point guard without a single offer is either a kid nobody's found yet or a kid still figuring out who he is on the floor. At Sunrise Christian Academy, Jayden Hopkins is trying to prove it's the former.

Aaron Webb#154

PF · 6-8 · Class of 2027

Indiana Area

A 6-8 forward who covers ground in a hurry doesn't show up on every roster in western Pennsylvania. Aaron Webb does, and the frame says there's more coming once the strength catches up to the length.

Troy Fason Jr.#152

PG · 5-11 · Class of 2027

DME Academy

Sharing a backcourt with a five-star point guard headed to Louisville could bury a lot of young players. Instead, it's given Troy Fason Jr. a daily measuring stick most sophomores never get. At 5-11, he's not winning the room with…

Christian Cast#150

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2027

Orangeville Prep

A 6-3 guard with no offers on his sheet yet is either a kid flying under the radar or a kid who hasn't put it all together. Watching Christian Cast, it feels a lot more like the former. The tools…

Dylan Cowell#149

PF · 6-9 · Class of 2027

The Pingry School

Six-foot-nine forwards who can face up, put the ball on the deck, and still bang on the block don't grow on trees in New Jersey prep circles. Dylan Cowell is one of those rare frames that gives a coaching staff…

Ashton Graves#147

CG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Hudson Catholic

A 6-4 combo guard who can slide between ball-handling duties and off-ball scoring doesn't come around every day at the high school level. Ashton Graves has that kind of size in the backcourt, and at Hudson Catholic he's starting to…

Luke Howery#140

CG · 6-5 · Class of 2027

Chaparral

A 6-5 combo guard who already knows exactly where he's playing college ball before most of his high school tape is even cut up — that's the unusual starting point here. Luke Howery committed to Colorado State before the national…

Jae Lincoln#138

SF · 6-6 · Class of 2027

Humble

Six-foot-six wings who can guard three positions and still run the break don't grow on trees in Texas high school ball. Jae Lincoln is one of those rare frames — long, loose-limbed, still filling out — that makes you want…

Victor Aborowa#136

SF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Andrews Osborne Academy

A 6-7 wing already locked into a high-major commitment before his sophomore year even wraps up — that tells you something about what St. Bonaventure's staff is seeing on film that the rest of the recruiting world hasn't caught up…

Kur Lual#130

SF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Compass Prep

Length like this at small forward doesn't come around often in a 2027 class evaluators are still scratching the surface of. At 6-7, with guard skills still catching up to his frame, he's the kind of prospect you squint at…

Philipe Ndong#144

PF · 6-8 · Class of 2027

The Newman School

A 6-8 forward out of Colorado already has his college decision locked up before most of his classmates have taken the SAT. Philipe Ndong committed to Marquette while still early in his high school career, and that alone tells you…

Justin Frison#126

PG · 5-11 · Class of 2027

Houston

A 5-11 point guard already has his college decision locked up before most of his classmates have taken a varsity snap. That's the case with this Houston floor general, who's already put pen to paper for Murray State despite still…

Chris Brown#124

C · 6-9 · Class of 2027

Dream City Christian

A 6-9 frame with room to grow and the kind of mobility that makes you squint twice — that's the first impression Chris Brown leaves on anyone watching Dream City Christian run through drills. He's not a finished product by…

Drew Guy#153

CG · 6-5 · Class of 2027

Episcopal School of Dallas

A 6-5 combo guard who can get to his spot and shoot over the top of a defender is the kind of problem that keeps high school coordinators up at night. Drew Guy is still building his name nationally, but…

Korey Francis#129

CG · 6-3 · Class of 2027

Monsignor Bonner

A 6-2 combo guard ranked outside the top 100 nationally is usually a name only die-hard regional scouts recognize. Korey Francis is the exception worth filing away early, a Monsignor Bonner guard whose game reads older than his class year…

Davis Cochran#123

PF · 6-9 · Class of 2027

Brentwood

Power forwards at 6-9 rarely stay off the radar for long once they show anything on the floor, so the empty offer column next to Davis Cochran's name deserves a closer look. The public file on him is short, and…

Jack Thelen#120

C · 7-1 · Class of 2027

Maple Grove

Seven-foot-one and still growing into his own frame — that's the kind of sentence that gets a college staff on a plane in a hurry. Jack Thelen already has the size college programs spend years hoping to develop, and Wisconsin…

Keller Daugherty#108

PF · 6-10 · Class of 2027

Lee's Summit

Give a coach a 6-10 power forward and the first question is always the same: does he move like his size is an asset or like he's still learning where his elbows are? That question is the entire conversation with…

Elijah Paez#112

SF · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Iowa United Prep

Walk into a practice at Iowa United Prep and the first names you hear belong to a trio of 2026 kids already locked into Texas and Texas Tech. Keep watching, though, and the quietest body in the gym might be…

Kellen Brewer#141

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Metairie Park Country Day

A 6-4 guard who already knows where he's playing college ball while most of his class is still fielding camp invites. Kellen Brewer locked up his college decision early, and the tape explains why a staff moved fast to get…

JJ Watts#163

PF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Southeastern Prep

Six-foot-seven forwards who can actually face up and put the ball on the deck don't grow on trees in South Florida — or anywhere else, for that matter. JJ Watts is one of those tweener builds that makes a scout…

Emmanuel Ahamefule#105

C · 6-9 · Class of 2027

Archbishop Riordan

Six-foot-nine with room to grow into his frame, and he's already the youngest name on a Riordan roster loaded with high-major pledges. Emmanuel Ahamefule isn't the headline act on his own team yet, but scouts tracking the 2027 class in…

Akol Nyok#101

C · 7-1 · Class of 2027

Miami Columbus

Seven-footers who move fluidly instead of lumbering are rare at any age, let alone at fifteen. Akol Nyok already has the frame scouts dream about and the kind of mobility that makes you want to see him in four or…

Taj Saragba#180

PF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Huntington Expression Prep

Huntington, West Virginia isn't exactly known for churning out national recruits, but something is happening in that gym right now. A 6-7 forward with a nose for the glass and three high-major offers already in hand before his junior year…

Triston Hawthorne#90

PF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

South Jones

A top-100 national ranking with no offers attached is a strange place for any prospect to sit, and that's where Triston Hawthorne is right now. The 6-foot-7 power forward from Ellisville, Mississippi is ranked #90 in the class of 2027,…

Henry Robinson#119

SF · 6-7 · Class of 2027

Pine Ridge

Palm Coast doesn't produce many wings who move like this at 6-7, but Pine Ridge has one — a long, loose-limbed forward who covers ground in a way that makes defenders look like they're standing still. He's committed to Jacksonville…

Avery Huston#148

SG · 6-2 · Class of 2027

Monarch Academy

Grants Pass, Oregon isn't exactly a pipeline for national recruits, but Avery Huston is working to change that. At 6-2 with a guard's handle and a scorer's mentality, he's the kind of player who shows up on tape doing something…

Andrew Ross#187

SG · 6-5 · Class of 2027

Sidwell Friends School

There's a prep roster in Washington that reads like a mid-major coaching staff's fever dream, and the kid getting buckets fourth or fifth in the pecking order might be the most underrated name on it. Andrew Ross doesn't need the…

K'Nard Callendar#79

PF · 6-8 · Class of 2027

Overtime Elite

A 6-8 forward who's still two years away from a college signing period is already sharing a locker room with a kid headed to Arkansas and another to Tennessee. That's the environment K'Nard Callendar gets to grow up in every…
