Sixty players are now committed to playing basketball that are on the 2027 class watchlist, and another four to other sports.
Eight of the top ten, and sixteen of the top twenty are “off the board”.

Twenty-five prospects hit the watchlist for the first time as the list expanded to 225. Four of those prospects jumped into the 175 ranked prospects, another twenty-one in the non-ranked watchlist listing. The four players making it into the top 175 included…
Kenleigh Schueller 6’1 C North Central
Alli Stearns 5’10 SF Vincennes Rivet
Carly Stevens 5’7 CG Christian Academy
Mia Hurford 5’10 SG Glenn

The Top 10 prospects remained unchanged for the third straight update, with only slight changes in the top 20 including Emma Tinder, Zionsville, being the biggest mover in that group making it into the top 20 for the first time at #19.

The list in its thirteenth update is fairly mature with only two prospects moving into the top 75 for the first time.
#70 Jocelyn Eskew 6’0 PF Shortridge

Others jumping into the top 100 ranked prospects for the first time included…

Those that made it into the 175 stack rank, that were on previous watchlist, for the first time included..
