Best Unsigned Seniors (Part 1)
Best Unsigned Seniors (Part 2)
Naseem Khaalid Naseem Khaalid 6'2" | PG Atlantic Coast | 2020 State #344 Nation FL is someone who can instantly make a college program tougher. The 6’2″ athlete is a strong and confident point guard who can get to the rack with his nice mix of power and speed. Originally a FSU commit, Khaalid holds offers from Morgan State, Southeastern Louisiana and Missouri State offers. He has also drawn interest from Toledo and Fresno State.
Deangelo Elisee Deangelo Elisee 6'8" | PF North Florida Educational | 2020 State FL has all the tools to be successful at the next level. At 6’8″, Elisee is a big body who isn’t afraid to get going down low and take on contact. He’s an aggressor and likes to use his size and long arms to his advantage. Once he develops a reliable jumper, he will be even more dangerous. Elisee averaged 16.7 PPG and 8.1 RPG as a senior and has drawn heavy interest from Missouri State, South Carolina State, Carson Newman, Lincoln Memorial and Georgia Southern.
Nathan Montaque Nathan Montaque 6'5" | PF Somerset | 2020 State FL can shoot it for a true forward. The 6’5″ athlete was a four-year contributor for Somerset Academy Pines averaging double digits every season including 21.0 PPG and 6.6 RPG this past year. He had multiple 25 points games as a freshman, a 31-point game as a junior and a 55-point game this season. Montaque is not afraid to showcase his jumper and push the cause inside. Western Carolina, Jacksonville, Eastern Illinois, Lincoln Memorial, Barry University and JUCO’s Palm Beach State, Independence and Western Oklahoma State have all shown strong interest in him.
Khalil Shaheed Khalil Shaheed 6'3" | SG Oldsmar Christian | 2020 State #377 Nation FL is a high volume scorer who loves to take risks at the basket and play full speed ahead. The 6’4″ guard can put together big games and compliment other players well. Slowing down sometimes and simply making easier plays will boost his stock but the athleticness, finishing skills and burst that he plays with is already in place. Ball State, SE Louisiana, Campbell and Maryland Eastern Shore are all showing heavy interest.
Gary Jones III Gary Jones III 6'10" | PF Sickles | 2020 State FL stands out at 7’0″ and he’s worked very hard over the last year to improve his foot speed and craftiness down low. He shoots the ball well and is always a steady contributor. Jones averaged 12.7 PPG, 9.8 RPG and 5.2 BPG (28th best mark in the country and 3rd best in the state). His side to side agility is getting better and his IQ is a huge factor that will help plenty from Division III schools: St. Vincent College, Gordon College, Marietta College, Rhodes College and Hiram College, NAIA schools: Trinity Christian College and Kentucky Christian University, Division II schools: Quincy University, North Greenville, D’Youville and PWO’s from Flagler and Florida Southern. He’s also drawn interest from Division I programs Texas A&M Corpus Cristi and American.
