Fresh Scout Reports

A 6-1 shooting guard in the class of 2027 without a single offer to his name isn't a headline — yet. But that's exactly the stage where scouts earn their keep: finding the kid before the crowd does.

Brayden Williams#289

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2027

Faith Family Academy of Oak Cliff

A 6-3 guard with no reported offers landing a Division I commitment tells you something's going on behind the scenes that the recruiting rankings haven't caught up to yet. Brayden Williams is one of those names that'll make people scroll…

Andrew Walker#282

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Detroit Catholic Central

Michigan high school gyms are full of guards who can score in bunches but disappear on the defensive end. Andrew Walker doesn't fit that mold. At 6-4 with room to fill out his frame, he's the kind of two-way guard…

Davier White#270

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Taylor County

A 6-4 guard with two more years before his official recruiting clock even starts ticking — that's the kind of runway that makes scouts lean in rather than look away. Davier White isn't a name most casual fans know yet,…

When versatility meets scoring prowess in the modern game, exceptional talents emerge who can impact winning at the highest levels.

J'Dyn Lloyd#272

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Belleville West

Belleville West has sent plenty of talent through its gym over the years, and there's a 6-4 guard quietly building his own case. J'Dyn Lloyd isn't on anyone's offer list yet, but scouts tracking the Illinois class of 2027 are…

A commitment this early for a kid ranked outside the top 250 nationally tells you something about how his future program views his upside. Colin Julien isn't a household name yet in Wisconsin recruiting circles, but St. Thomas clearly saw…

Jaeden Udean#263

SG · 6-2 · Class of 2027

DeLaSalle

Rankings outside the top 250 nationally don't usually get a second look, but there's a reason scouts keep circling back to this one. A 6-2 guard with size to grow into and a frame that hasn't filled out is the…

Aidan Boker#261

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

SoCal Academy

Walk into a SoCal Academy practice and the first thing that jumps out isn't a stat sheet — it's the shoulders. Aidan Boker already has the frame of a college wing at a school that's been churning out high-major talent.…

Leon Powell Jr.#260

SG · 6-5 · Class of 2027

Vashon

Sharing a backcourt with a kid who's already penciled in at Saint Louis isn't easy — somebody has to get shots, and somebody has to guard the other team's best scorer. At Vashon, that's the gig Leon Powell Jr. has…

Troy Tomlin#226

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

John Marshall

Rank him by a three-digit number and some scouts will stop reading right there. That's a mistake with Troy Tomlin — a 6-4 guard still carving out his identity, playing in the shadow of a Division I commit on his…

James Jenkins III#122

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2028

DME Academy

Every scout eventually asks the same uncomfortable question about a prospect in a loaded program: how much of the value is the player, and how much is the roster around him? James Jenkins III plays at DME Academy, where he…

Ask a college assistant what a 6-4 shooting guard in the class of 2028 is worth and the answer is always the same: it depends on what he does when the ball isn't in his hands. Size gets a kid…

Amare Chandler#103

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2028

Livermore

Livermore's backcourt already has two Division I commits walking the halls, and the freshman guard sliding into bigger minutes isn't fazed by any of it. Amare Chandler is 6-4, still growing into his frame, and already carving out a role…

Parker McDaniel#96

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2028

South Central Prep

A 6-3 guard who already ranks nationally before a single offer hits the inbox — that's a different kind of pressure. Parker McDaniel is proof that recruiting rankings and recruiting attention don't always move at the same pace.

Devin Mitchell#72

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2028

Etiwanda

A 6-4 guard with two more years of growing left is already cracking the national top 100. Etiwanda has produced its share of talent, but Devin Mitchell's combination of size and shot-making at this stage of his development is the…

Rodney Washington#97

SG · 6-2 · Class of 2028

LaCore Elite Academy

A 6-2 guard ranked inside the top 100 of his class with zero offers on the board — that's not a contradiction, that's just how recruiting works in Oklahoma. McAlester isn't exactly a pipeline program, but Rodney Washington is doing…

Kinston Knueppel#92

SG · 6-5 · Class of 2028

Wisconsin Lutheran

Walk into a Wisconsin Lutheran practice and the first thing that hits you is the shooting touch running through that gym like a family trait passed down at the dinner table. Kinston Knueppel is the youngest name in a basketball…

A versatile 6-2 shooting guard who's quietly building a reputation as one of New England's most intriguing 2028 prospects with his multi-faceted skill set.

Kevin Wheatley Jr.#29

SG · 6-6 · Class of 2028

Iowa United Prep

A 6-6 wing who's barely old enough to drive is already fielding calls from Kansas and Virginia Tech. That's the kind of attention Kevin Wheatley Jr. is drawing as a freshman, and the tape explains why schools are moving fast…

Braylon Washington

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2028

CATS Academy

The 2028 class is still taking shape, but early emerging talents at the shooting guard position are already catching evaluators' attention with their combination of size and potential.

Trey Edwards#51

SG · 6-5 · Class of 2028

Brewster Academy

Twenty-nine Division I offers is the kind of number that makes assistant coaches pull up a film folder and start asking questions. Staffs don't cast that wide a net for a 6-5 guard unless they see something worth projecting. Trey…

Quinton Wilson#31

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2028

Wellington Sports Academy

Seven Division I offers is the kind of number that makes a recruiting coordinator reopen the file. Michigan, Florida State, Cal, Arizona State, TCU, Mississippi State and South Florida don't spread that kind of interest around casually, and the reason…

Romejo Waits#274

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

Byron Nelson

Byron Nelson runs deep, and finding minutes on that roster takes some doing. A 6-4 guard chipping away at the rotation there is worth a second look before the name ever shows up on an offer sheet.

Amire Gill#195

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2027

Masters Academy International

A 6-3 guard ranked outside the top 150 nationally who's already locked in his college home before his junior year even tips off — that's not the usual script. Amire Gill isn't waiting on a recruiting process to validate him.…

Pierce Thompson#242

SG · 6-3 · Class of 2027

Harvard-Westlake

Sharing a gym with a Duke commit and a Texas commit will either swallow a young guard whole or speed up his whole development curve. Pierce Thompson is betting on the second outcome. At 6-3 with two more high school…

Jacob David#185

SG · 6-6 · Class of 2027

Rock Canyon

A 6-6 wing with guard skills is the kind of frame that makes scouts linger a little longer courtside. Jacob David fits that mold at Rock Canyon, and the body alone suggests there's more coming than what's already on the…

Kingston Money#184

SG · 6-2 · Class of 2027

The Principia School

Second fiddle on a loaded roster isn't always a bad gig — sometimes it means playing next to a future Big Ten starter and learning what it actually takes to get there. That's the situation at The Principia School, where…

Kingston Thomas#183

SG · 6-4 · Class of 2027

La Lumiere School

La Lumiere has sent guards to high-major programs for years, and the latest one off the assembly line is a wiry 6-4 wing who plays like he's already been through a few recruiting cycles. Kingston Thomas isn't a household recruiting…

Siincere Hudson#196

SG · 6-2 · Class of 2027

Modesto Christian

Modesto Christian has become a pipeline for guard talent out in the Central Valley, and the newest name trying to carve out his own space in that backcourt is Siincere Hudson. At 6-2, he's not the biggest two-guard on the…
