@sawyer_dotson @Texasimpact413

An undervalued 2026 who I can see outplaying his recruitment at the next level is Sawyer Dotson from Texas Impact. 6'7" wings who guard their position and shoot 38% from 3 don't grow on trees and Dotson fits that bill. Has a combined record of 53-6 between last HS and AAU season.

@drew_guy27 @Texasimpact413

A guy who is maybe under discussed as one of the top 2027 guards on UA is Drew Guy of Texas Impact. Guy played up on 17s this summer and was an integral part of their championship win. His positional size, defensive versatility, and overall toughness will take him very far.

@Tonycornett2027 @NovaVillage1

Love the upside and development track of 2027 G/W Tony Cornett II from Nova Village. Took a huge leap from 15s Rise to 16s UAA in physicality, shot making ability, and overall comfort level as a primary option. I'll be watching his development closely over the next 12 months.

@Hayden_s23 @EdStasys @WolvesILL

I expect the 2027 Illinois Wolves duo of 6'8" Hayden Schroeder and 6'7" Ed Stasys to pick up significant traction over the next 12 months. Schroeder is a HM sleeper while Stasys should have a variety of MM/LM schools all over him.

The argument for the best 2026 prospect on UA Rise has been a two-horse race between Colin Rice and Joe Philon all summer long. What was once a class gleaming with upside has been drained due to the circuit losing so many teams, most to UAA and some to other circuits.

On the other side of the coin, 2027 doesn't have as many national level prospects as '26 and '28, but is littered with many really intriguing long term bets.

The 2028 UA class looks to be extremely special. 2026 has ~20 players ranked in the top 200 (247 consensus) and I believe that 2028 will beat that number pretty handedly. Pretty ridiculous top end talent mixed really fun pieces on both UAA and Rise.
