2027 6-6 G Jarvis Hayes Jr. – Woodward Academy
The Georgia-commit carried Woodward Academy through a sluggish first half and eventually caught fire with his aggressive approach. The War Eagles scored 48 points in the second half to close out KIPP Atlanta 75-63. At 6-foot-6, Jarvis’ blend of shot-making, length and elite athleticism left KIPP searching for answers. Hayes did a great job of elevating to hit tough jumpers over contests. When he got into the paint, his bounce got him to the rim immediately as he finished with three slams. Jarvis netted 19 points in the second half including 11 in the fourth quarter to put the game on ice, hitting pull-up jumpers, converting with his floater and finishing through contact for And-1s with his left hand. What really stood out to me was something that doesn’t appear in the box score. I loved how quick Hayes jumped into gaps to eliminate driving lanes. His short bursts of lateral quickness allow him to pounce on ball handlers as scoring chances vanish in a blink. With that type attention to detail jumping to the ball, Jarvis leads by example with his effort on both ends of the floor.

2027 6-4 G Bradyn Elder – Woodward Academy
The Kennesaw State-commit isn’t as flashy with his athleticism or size as the Hayes brothers are, but Bradyn has carved out a nice niche as a steady producer for the War Eagles. Against KIPP Atlanta, Elder recorded 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. He went 1-3 from the foul line but nailed two corner threes and was active around the rim. Bradyn cut to the hoop to score with his left hand and had a pair of other drives as well. He converted a steal into a layup as his switchability on the perimeter helped thwart the Warriors. Bradyn’s on-ball playmaking has grown, serving as a primary ball handler for the War Eagles.

2028 6-5 G Myles Hayes – Woodward Academy
With a slew of top-level athletes on the floor and size all over, it was Myles Hayes whose pursuit of the ball in traffic stood out the most, the 6-foot-5 guard making his presence felt in the paint with 11 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Hayes exploded up out of crowds to get to rebounds at their highest point. His toughness rebounding helped limit KIPP Atlanta’s second chances. Myles’ offense came via corner three, a backdoor cut for a dunk, an And-1 running the floor after a made basket and a putback. Much like his brother, Hayes is a Swiss Army Knife capable of impacting games in a variety of ways which may change from game to game. On Saturday, it was his willingness to do the dirty work which benefited Woodward Academy the most.

2027 6-3 W Seann Ingram – Woodward Academy
While Woodward Academy struggled to hit shots over the first 16 minutes, Seann Ingram stepped up in a major way. Ingram, a 3&D type role player, scored eight of the War Eagles’ 27 first half points. He would finish with 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Ingram made himself available along the baseline, finding windows in the corners to catch drift and skip passes for threes, sinking a pair. Seann has a chance to play a major role this year after averaging just 1.7 points and 1.8 rebounds. His senior season couldn’t have gotten off to a better start.

2029 6-1 PG Chase Wilson – KIPP Atlanta
Following a scoreless first half, Chase Wilson showed why he was a Preseason All-State pick, dropping in a team-high 22 points to go with his 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Chase is wired to score. Once he saw his first shot drop, the lid was off the hoop. Wilson hit a pair of pull-ups, a three-pointer and found success in transition, scoring with reverse layups and converting And-1s. Wilson’s slippery game landed him at the foul line frequently, shooting 9-10. The microwave scorer has a mature feel for a sophomore.

2027 6-4 G Akil Robinson – KIPP Atlanta
It was not Akil’s best game as he along with everyone else on the floor struggled to hit shots in the first half. As the game wore on however, Robinson got more comfortable. He switched out his long-sleeve undershirt for a short-sleeve and proceeded to see his shots drop with more efficiency. The electric athlete opened his night with a three off the bounce. He hit a handful of mid-range pull-ups which sparked his downhill attack, especially in the fourth quarter as he scored nine points including a poster slam on a defender. Robinson closed his night with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block – a career day for most even on an off-night for Robinson. Akil’s stock rising 2026 is setting up for a memorable career conclusion in 2027.

2027 6-8 W Galen Roberts – KIPP Atlanta
Tookie went for 17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks. The lengthy wing had some nice takes off the dribble, utilizing spin moves and playing off two feet in traffic. Roberts had some high-flying dunks, knocked down a three and went into the post to score with his left hand on a drop step. Galen’s versatile inside-out game at 6-foot-8 with great springs makes him a tantalizing prospect that D-I schools are tracking.
