Continue ReadingEvery year players rise to the challenge of playing on one of the biggest stages a high school player can be on, the state final four. Regardless of height, weight, or age, these players rose to the occasion and set themselves up for very bright futures.
Columbus High School:
#12 Cameron Boozer Cameron Boozer 6'9" | PF Columbus | 2025 State #2 Nation FL G,F Fr. 6’8″ 200 lbs. – It is not very often you see a 6’8″ wing with the ball handling ability of a PG and the rebounding ability of a center. The freshman was outstanding in the semi-final game notching 18 points on 7-15 from the field and 5 assists. As outstanding as he is on the offensive side of the ball, he is just as impressive defensively. He grabbed 16 boards to go along with 4 blocks and 3 steals. Cameron has the perfect balance of height and athleticism, as well as a great basketball IQ, which was passed along by his father Carlos Boozer. My way too early prediction for him is a one and done at a power five university followed by being a lottery pick.
#2 Cayden Boozer Cayden Boozer 6'5" | PG Columbus | 2025 State #28 Nation FL G Fr. 6’4″ – If you haven’t already picked up on it by looking at the names, Cayden is the twin brother of Cameron. Cayden is a pure playmaker with the ability to penetrate and dish the ball to teammates for easy shots. The freshman point guard dished out 9 assists while scoring 15 points and only turning the ball over 3 times. These are crazy good numbers for a freshman point guard. Cayden is a workhorse, playing nearly the entire game. He is everything you want in your point guard. Much like his brother, he will be a guaranteed power 5 player in college. Pay attention to his name for the next 3 years.
#23 Benny Fragela Benny Fragela 5'11" | SG Columbus | 2025 State FL SG Fr. 6’2″ – No, this is not a mistake. Columbus High has yet another freshman phenom. Fragela is a pure shooter, knocking down 5 threes in the semi final game. He scored a team high 19 points and was a big part of why Columbus was able to pull off the double digit win over Lake Worth. The freshman has already picked up an offer from South Carolina and I expect plenty more D1 offers to roll in over the next couple of years.
Lake Worth High School:
#0 Calvin Sirmans PG Jr. 5’7″ – Sirmans played a very good game against a team loaded with D1 talent. He really was the only reason that Lake Worth was in the game at all. The junior PG notched 19 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. He plays with a ton of heart and effort. I expect Calvin Sirmans to lead his team back to the final four next year.
Florida State University High School:
#2 Anthony Robinson Anthony Robinson 6'3" | PG Florida State University Hig | 2023 State #133 Nation FL II G Jr. 6’3″ 165 lbs. – Robinson has been outstanding all year long. He capped his junior season with a 19 point performance in the state championship and a win. He has already grabbed several D1 offers, but I expect him to have 10+ by the end of next year.
Riviera Prep:
#23 Nicolas Flowers G Sr. 6’4″ 185 lbs. – Shifty, explosive, and crafty around the rim. Flowers impressed during the state championship, scoring 15 points coming off the bench against a very good team. I expect him to pick up some offers over the summer.
