Class of 2027 point guard Beckham Black made a strong impression at the NBPA Top 100 Camp, delivering a standout performance against Team Reggie. The 6’3” floor general showcased his poise, good vision, and unselfish approach, finishing the game with an impressive 9 assists. Black controlled the pace from start to finish, consistently creating opportunities for his teammates both in transition and the half-court. Whether it was threading the needle on a backdoor cut or hitting shooters in rhythm, his feel for the game stood out among some of the top talent in the country. Scoring wasn’t the primary focus for Black in this matchup, largely because he was surrounded by other capable scorers who could get buckets in a variety of ways. Instead, he leaned into his strengths as a facilitator, keeping the ball moving and ensuring everyone stayed involved. His ability to read the game, make quick decisions, and elevate those around him further cements his status as one of the better young guards in the 2027 class. @beckhamblack0 @TheNBPA @top100camp @teamabelite

6’4” guard Bryce Lindsay finished with 26 points off the bench against North Carolina in Indiana exhibition game, including 18 in the first half. He shot 8-14 from the field and 4-9 from three-point range. @brycelindsayy @IndianaMBB
Bryce Lindsay’s Early Season Shooting Has Defined Villanova’s Offense Redshirt-sophomore guard Bryce Lindsay has arrived as the focal point of Villanova’s early-season offense, and it shows in every box score. Through the first four games, his scoring has been both efficient and consistent, and his shooting has dictated how opponents defend the Wildcats. Lindsay opened the season against BYU with a 22-point performance, making 7 of 14 field-goal attempts, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, while adding 5 rebounds and 2 assists. In the following game against Queens University of Charlotte, he poured in 25 points, going 10 of 11 from the free-throw line, along with 3 rebounds and 2 assists. His third game, against Sacred Heart, showcased his range and rhythm: Lindsay set a Villanova program record with 9 made three-pointers, finishing with 27 points on 11 of 17 shooting, and added 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Most recently, against Duquesne, he scored 18 points on 6 of 12 shooting, including 3 of 8 from beyond the arc, with 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Across these games, Lindsay has shown an ability to score both off the catch and off the dribble while maintaining high efficiency on volume attempts. His shooting has opened space for teammates and allowed Villanova’s offense to operate with more freedom, while he has also contributed through rebounding and off-ball movement. Through the first four games, his season averages stand at 23.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, while shooting 50.9% from the field. Those numbers highlight the impact he’s already having and underscore his role as the team’s most reliable scoring option. In these opening weeks, Bryce Lindsay’s shooting hasn’t just produced points — it has set the tone for Villanova’s offense, shaping how the Wildcats play and how defenses approach them. His efficiency, range, and consistency make him a cornerstone of the team’s early success, and the Wildcats are leaning on him more heavily with each passing game. @brycelindsayy @NovaMBB

6’4” freshman guard Katrelle Harmon finished with 16 points, 6 assists and 2 steals against Iowa State in the exhibition. Harmon impacted the game as a scorer and playmaker while also creating defensive opportunities. His ability to contribute across multiple facets of the game adds another dimension to his role in the Creighton backcourt. @Katrelle_206 @BluejayMBB
Katrelle Harmon: Creighton’s Dynamic Playmaker Ready for Big East Impact When Katrelle Harmon steps onto the hardwood, his presence commands attention—not just because of his 6-foot-4 frame, but because of the maturity and poise he brings to the game. This four-star guard from Wasatch Academy in Utah embodies the qualities that Creighton Basketball has long prized: high basketball IQ, unselfish leadership, and an ability to influence the game in multiple ways. Ranked among the nation’s elite recruits—No. 53 by ESPN, No. 55 by 247Sports, and No. 66 by both On3 and Rivals—Harmon’s choice to join the Bluejays over established programs like Alabama, Iowa, and Oregon speaks volumes about the alignment of his skills and Creighton’s system. Rising Through Elite Competition Harmon’s basketball journey is one marked by steady growth and relentless competitiveness. Competing in the Nike EYBL, widely regarded as the top grassroots circuit in the country, Harmon was regularly tested against future Division I stars and NBA prospects. With Vegas Elite, he produced solid numbers—averaging 18.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game—but what truly distinguished him was how he raised his game during the high-pressure Mesa Session. There, he nearly exploded offensively, averaging 24.7 points alongside 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. His efficiency and ability to score in volume earned him All-EYBL First Team honors, a recognition that only the most impactful players receive. At Wasatch Academy during EYBL scholastic play, Harmon showcased his versatility and balanced game with 9.08 points, 6.17 assists, and 3.25 rebounds per game, shooting an effective 40% from the field and 36% from beyond the arc. This combination of scoring, distributing, and rebounding illustrates his all-around approach, blending the roles of facilitator and scorer seamlessly. A Complete Playmaker with Multifaceted Skill What separates Harmon from many of his peers is his ability to fill multiple roles on the court without losing effectiveness. He is, at his core, a floor general—someone who reads defenses with clarity and makes precise decisions that keep offenses flowing smoothly. Yet, unlike many pass-first guards, Harmon carries a legitimate scoring threat. His shooting mechanics are fundamentally sound, allowing him to hit pull-up jumpers and catch-and-shoot threes at a respectable 36% clip. More than that, his quick first step and ability to change pace make him a dangerous driver capable of finishing around the rim against bigger defenders. Defensively, Harmon’s 6-foot-4 frame coupled with his quickness allows him to guard multiple positions effectively. His commitment to defense—often the less glamorous side of the game—speaks to his competitive mindset and understanding of what it takes to win at the next level. He contests shots without fouling excessively and uses his length to disrupt passing lanes, contributing to his team’s overall defensive identity. In transition, Harmon’s court vision and speed become even more pronounced. He excels at pushing the pace, forcing opposing defenses to scramble, and turning defensive stops into quick scoring opportunities. This ability to capitalize on fast-break situations adds a dynamic layer to Creighton’s offense. Leadership and Cultural Fit Beyond statistics and skill, Harmon’s intangibles play a critical role in his fit with Creighton. Coaches at Wasatch Academy have praised his growth in maturity and leadership over time, noting his daily consistency and ability to set an example for teammates. His relationship with Creighton assistant coach Trey Ziegler—described by Harmon as a “big brother” figure—helped foster trust and familiarity early in the recruiting process, smoothing the transition from recruit to committed Bluejay. Creighton’s program culture emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and high basketball IQ, all areas where Harmon excels. His unselfishness and ability to elevate teammates’ play will be invaluable in the competitive landscape of the Big East. What Creighton Gains With Harmon joining the roster, Creighton secures: A true floor general capable of controlling tempo and setting up teammates with precision A versatile scorer who stretches defenses with his shooting and attacking ability A committed defender willing to embrace physicality and guard multiple positions A mature leader who embodies the team-first mindset and steady presence needed in high-stakes games Katrelle Harmon’s combination of skill, character, and experience positions him as a player who can contribute to anchoring Creighton’s backcourt and pushing the program forward. His steady hand and competitive fire will be assets as the Bluejays navigate the challenges of Big East play and beyond. @Katrelle_206 @VegasEliteBC @WATigersBB @BluejayMBB

Cole Cloer made a strong impact for Team CP3’s 17U squad in an 81–78 win over City Rocks. The 6-foot-8 wing finished with 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 three-pointers, playing a key role in his team’s victory. From the opening tip, Cloer made his presence felt, stretching the floor with his outside shooting. His ability to knock down 4 three-pointers was a key factor in Team CP3’s offensive attack, as he consistently spaced the floor and forced defenders to respect his range. What set him apart, however, was his ability to create off the dribble. Cloer showed the rare combination of size and ball-handling skills, driving past defenders to finish strong at the rim. His length also allows him to finish around the basket, even through contact. Beyond his scoring, Cloer’s 6 rebounds were critical in securing possessions for his team, particularly on the defensive end, where his length and timing allowed him to challenge shots and control the glass. His defensive awareness was evident as he positioned himself well to limit second-chance opportunities for City Rocks. What truly stood out in this performance was Cloer’s composure in high-pressure situations. With the game on the line, he didn’t shy away from the moment, making key plays in crunch time. His shot selection was spot on, as he took smart, high-percentage shots while also setting up his teammates when necessary. Cloer’s ability to stay calm and execute in the final minutes helped CP3 close out the victory against a tough City Rocks team. @colecloerr @CP3EYBL

King Rachal Commits to Utah State Utah State has secured a commitment from 2027 6’7” wing King Rachal, a Top-100 prospect who gives the Aggies another perimeter scorer for their 2027 recruiting class. Rachal can stretch the floor with his shooting, but his game goes beyond playing off the catch. He moves well without the ball, finds open spots and gets his shot off quickly. He can also make plays off the bounce, creating pull-up opportunities, getting to the rim and using his athleticism in transition. His 6’7” frame and athleticism also show up on the defensive end. Rachal can use his length to contest shots, get into passing lanes and rebound from the wing, giving him ways to affect possessions away from the ball. Rachal now heads to the Mountain West with a game that combines perimeter shooting, shot creation and defensive tools. Utah State is getting a 6’7” wing who can space the floor, make plays off the bounce, get out in transition and use his length to impact both ends. @USUBasketball
2027 6’7” wing King Rachal of Team CPSA showed he was a high-level shooter during the NXT Pro 16 Live Period in Richmond, Virginia. Throughout the four-day event, Rachal caught fire from beyond the arc, knocking down three-pointer after three-pointer to provide a major offensive spark for CPSA. Whether spotting up, relocating without the ball, or getting out in transition and stepping into rhythm threes, he displayed a smooth, repeatable shooting stroke and the confidence to let it fly whenever he had daylight. His ability to space the floor, combined with his 6’7” frame and athleticism, makes him a difficult matchup for defenders, forcing opponents to extend their defense well beyond the three-point line. Rachal also showed the ability to put the ball on the floor, creating opportunities to knock down pull-up jumpers or attack the basket and finish around the rim. He used his length and athleticism effectively as a scorer, allowing him to finish through contact and over defenders. Defensively, Rachal used his length and athleticism to make a consistent impact. He contested shots, disrupted passing lanes, rebounded the ball, and made his presence felt on the defensive end. His size and length allowed him to make plays that changed possessions and added value beyond his scoring ability. Rachal’s combination of size, shooting ability, athleticism, and length gives him a high ceiling as one of the top wing prospects in the 2027 class. His ability to consistently make shots from deep while using his length to impact the game on the defensive end separates him from many of his peers. His performance in Richmond reinforced why he is regarded as one of the top wings in the country and a name to continue following in the 2027 class. @TeamCPSA

Jarvis Hayes Jr. Commits to Georgia as the No. 22 Prospect Georgia has landed a commitment from 2027 6’5” guard Jarvis Hayes Jr., who is ranked No. 22 nationally by ESPN and No. 4 among shooting guards in the class.

He also averaged 2.7 assists, giving him another way to impact possessions when defenses take away his own shot. For Georgia, Hayes brings size and shot creation to the backcourt with a track record of producing at both the high school and grassroots levels.
