CLASS OF 2027; WHERE ARE THEY GOING?

CLASS OF 2027; WHERE ARE THEY GOING? post thumbnail image


So where are the Top Freshman going? Today I will tell you. First I will tell you a few things. The 2027 class is neither deep or especially loaded with lock D1 players right now . But it is a solid class. The ones who are gym rats I believe have the biggest future and recruiting upside. So pay close attention to the gym rat logo attached to any kids name.

Notice none of the Top kids choose RBC or Trinity. That is due to that fact, that  these two programs  lose no players in there 8 man rotation for the next two or three years.

 

After SATURDAY CORE SKILLS, wraps up in 5 weeks, no doubt some new names be added to this year’s list.  I  will release  this years GOLDEN DOZEN in a few weeks…here is a peek at last year’s 2026 Golden Dozen.

2026 GOLDEN DOZEN (https://nothingbutskills.com/the-2026-shore-conference-golden-dozen/)

 

2027’s who have chosen a High School

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LISSY LYONS-

CHOICE- SJV

She is one of the two most in demand players in the 2027 class. She is 5’10” and clearly growing still. She can score inside or out. She also is the biggest gym rat of the class.

 

 

SAM ORLANDO-

CHOICE- MIDDLETOWN SOUTH

This is a major pickup for Middle South. She is one of the two most in demand players in the class. The 5’9″ ORLANDO  Is by far the most competitive  player in the class. She will be a 4 yr starter most likely.

 

 

MADDIE NOLAN

CHOICE- MANCHESTER

She is by far the best 2027 in Ocean. More importantly  a Ocean kid staying home. She attended Core Skills last year and I have watched her on video. She may be the most gifted player in the 2027 class. She plays mutiple sports(Soccer)  and is athletic. She will be a 4 year starter and Freshman  of the Year Canididate next season with development.

 

 

BROOKE JAENICKE

CHOICE- RFH

Rumson picks up a year round basketball player. They also pick scoring, passing and ball handling. She has a full  understanding  of how to play and is one of the Top 5 Players in the 2027 class. I believe in time she could be a ALL SHORE type guard…stay tuned

 

 

 

 

TATUM SHARPE

CHOICE- SJV

This is the one of players in the class that I will say is a “D1 lock”. No player in this class is built  more for the SJV style or culture. The 5’9″ guard is still growing. She is long athletic  and skilled. Think Janine Bachmann  Pt2.

 

 

 

 

 

CALLIE DECKER-

CHOICE- DONOVAN CATHOLIC?

There is no question who the best guard in the 2027 class is right now. She is the ultimate  gym rat. She has next level quickness and speed. Her jumpshot is reliable and her handle ready. If she attends DONOVAN, she will be a 4 year starter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GRACE SMITH-

CHOICE- RBC, RFH, TRINITY

Grace may be the most improved player in this class in recent weeks. That is because she has performed where it matters most , in games. She is 5’8″,  confident and skilled. Her footwork has seen a major upgrade. She is getting in the gym more and more while moving towards gym rat status.

 

 

 

KAELYN GIBSON

CHOICE – MIDDLETOWN  NORTH

She is 100% the biggest sleeper in this class. Middletown North locks up a 4 year starter. The will defend, score and handle the ball. Make no mistake this could be the biggest impact freshman in the Shore Conference next year. She will be a ALL FRESHMAN 1ST TEAM CANIDIDATE

 

LAUREN DIVER

CHOICE- SJV

SJV picks up another interesting 2027. She is having an excellent winter. She is a deadly shooter with range. Now the question is what improvements does she make in the next 8 weeks. The potential  is certainly there

 

 

 

KAYLA MORETTI

CHOICE – MANASQUAN

This is a nice pickup for Manasquan. The combo guard can defend, shoot, has a excellent handle and brings a real competitve nature. She will have a nice impact before her days are over. I say she gets better each year. Totally under the radar

 

 

 

 

AVERY BARTH

CHOICE- SJV

She is ultra competitive, the #1 reason she will attend SJV. She fits the SJV mode of a players that will grown into the program. She is a gym rat and one of the kids in this class not ducking the smoke. She choose the school that give her the best chance to develop…not promises!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PEYTON ATNES

CHOICE- RANNEY

This is just what the doctor ordered for Ranney. She is a pit bull on defense. Insanely coachable. She has a real fire in her belly. The combo guard has a nice handle and improving jumper. This is a 2027 who will only get better and play varsity  as a freshman.

 

 

 

GRACE HEIMS-

CHOICE-  ST. ROSE

She may be the best pure shooter in the 2027 class. She has parking lot type range. She will give St. ROSE  a instant offensive  shooter as  a freshman. The summer is very important  to her development  and impact. If she becomes a gym rat.. watch out!

 

 

 

AVERY WYATT-

CHOICE – FREEHOLD BORO

Folks this young lady, when it all shakes out just may be the best post player in the Shore one day. She has soft hands, runs the floor and is 6 1″ with a body built for basketball.  Time is 100% on her side. She has more potential  than any other player in this class. A SUMMER A WITH GAIL CAVERLY FORT HAWKS  will be fruitful in so many ways.

 

 

MADI LANE-

CHOICE- MIDDLETOWN  SOUTH

South picked up another 6ft forward. I hope to see more of her in the next 5 weeks. But from the little I saw, she is long for days. Very, very mobile and active . She plays off the ground. No question another excellent pickup for Middletown South

 

 

POSSIBLE  FRESHMAN OF IMPACT

 

ASHLEY KREIGER 

CHOICE- RANNEY

She is the current face of US HOOPS basketball. She tore her ACL and decided to reclass . If she does attend Ranney,  she instantly  starts and makes RANNEY a possible  Top 10 teams in the Shore. She is 6’2″ Athletic  and has had an additional  year to get bigger and stronger compared to her 2027 classmates
