Edgewater HS is building a serious contender in Orlando. 2027 staples Terrence Walker and Julian Fox have cemented themselves as a top-tier backcourt, but the production they'll get from 2028 Amir Elmahmoud and 2029 Bryce Benton will put them over the edge. Amir guards anybody and everybody, and Bryce looks like a future star. Lots of intrigue out of the Eagles🦅

Exciting year ahead for Jacksonville-Trinity Christian. 2027 Ian Beaufort is a legitimate leader who can play many roles: scorer, facilitator or defensive enforcer. 2027 6'10 Amauri Walton proved that he's one of the state's best bigs on both ends. Improved body and mobility. 2029 duo of Ryder Jacobsen and Jaidyn Davis will both play major roles as well. Could be a great season for this crew.

Tai Bell has a case for Best Player in the Gym from this past weekend. Has made strides scoring the ball, shooting well from distance + is a master at manipulating defenses to get clean looks at the rim. Exceptional playmaker, ball handler, and a consistent defender. Really has made strides in every area of his game. Hard worker with a great attitude. Hard not to cheer for him. ELITE.

Miramar HS has put together as intriguing a 2027 duo as you can find at a public HS. 6'4 G Jayson Negrin flat out scores it. Tough competitor capable of scoring at all three levels but a real knack for finishing. 6'11 Ronald Germielle is a raw big man prospect but has true size and height that is worth investing in. Rare frame and exceptional wingspan. Plays for Haiti National Team. Sleepers in South Florida 💤

Intriguing duo from this weekend: Daviss Jones and Madden Geiger, the new big-man tandem at Sickles. Neither are traditional bigs: Geiger is a lights out shooter w/ guard fluidity and great physical tools. Jones is a rangy 6'7 F with elite energy, shot blocking feel, and exceptional rebounding prowess. They're the two-way Yin/Yang for Tampa's best frontcourt and could the cornerstones of a vert competitive Green Wave team🌳

Wellington Sports Academy is a welcome addition to the national hoops scene in FL. 2028 6'4 Quinton Wilson headlines a loaded crew, back in Florida after time spent at OTE. The best athlete in the gym, Wilson's jumper looks clean and his decision making and ball skills have really blossomed. 2028 Chris Roberts, 2027 Izaaz Kornegay and 2027 Brisun Hammermeister all play huge roles as well. 2031 Christian Bell may be the country's best 8th grader. A team to watch in year 1 🐺

IMG Academy was at half strength this weekend, but it's apparent they will not miss a beat under new HC Jackson Johnson. Jordan Page, Quentin Mosby and Josh Leonard all reminded us why they are clear HM+ prospects. 7'1 2028 Yahya Basaran is a high-upside piece with great footwork and fluidity for his size. Add in their 5(!!) missing HM prospects, and it looks like IMG could very well ascend right back to the top of HS hoops⛰️

Oak Ridge was tested more than once today at the @hoopexchange Fall Festival. While their exceptional guard play establishes their competitive floor, the development of 2027 F Bishop Wenze takes them to the nationally-competitive level. Strong, dynamic athlete who has embraced his role as an enforcer/rebounder, rim protector, and exceptional PnR finishing threat. Definitely continue to monitor his progress. Could be a huge year in store.
