I want to win it all at Chipotle [Nationals].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Branch turned 17 last month, meaning he will be eligible for the 2027 NBA draft following his reclassification. In a draft class that isn&#8217;t nearly as deep or talented as the 2026 group, Branch is immediately in contention to be the No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, he has a case to be the No. 1 prospect in the SC NEXT 100, a spot in the 2026 class that has been held for most of the past couple of years by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/basketball\/recruiting\/player\/_\/id\/254849\/tyran-stokes\">Tyran Stokes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to expand my opportunities,&#8221; Branch said. &#8220;I know there are challenges with this decision.

He is one of the best 3-point shooters in the class, particularly on the move, while his midrange shot has a high release point and his length allows him to shoot over the top of defenders. Overall, his outside shooting shows a smooth, repetitive motion with terrific shot mechanics and preparation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His work ethic will prepare him for this reclassification,&#8221; Prolific Prep coach Ryan Bernardi said. &#8220;He is emotionally stable. He does not get too high or too low.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mens-college-basketball\/story\/_\/id\/47062029\/bruce-branch-iii-no-2-hoops-prospect-reclassifying-26\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Borzello Close Jeff Borzello Basketball recruiting insider Jeff Borzello is a basketball recruiting insider.
