Bruce Branch III, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, announced Saturday he plans to reclassify into the 2026 class.
Branch will graduate from Prolific Prep (Florida) in the spring and be able to play college basketball next fall.
"I believe in my ability. I am confident that I can do this," Branch told ESPN. "I have been playing up my whole life. I am not going to let anyone outwork me. I remember when I was in the first grade playing against third graders. I got pushed down and I got back up.
