The Passion Region has a ton of great talent and some diamonds in the rough that will continue to garner attention as the season rolls on. Let’s take a deeper dive at our standout performers:
Jaden Baker Jaden Baker 6'0" | CG Bradenton Christian | 2024 State FL – Spartans Elite – Bradenton Christian High School – Jaden is a lightning fast guard who can get to the rim with ease. He is a matchup nightmare making it difficult to guard him especially in the open floor. He can get up points in a hurry and is the clear leader on this deep and talented Spartans squad. Expect a big summer from him and get used to hearing his name all over the circuit.
Reggie Reinhardt – Stampede – Wellington High School – Reggie is a scoring machine who led his Stampede team to several close victories over the weekend finishing at an impressive 4-0. Reggie is easily a Top 10 player for 2024 in the Passion Region and is one that a coach must carefully game plan around in order to compete against this scrappy squad. Reggie always seems to keep strong composure throughout the game and is locked in from start to finish. He has a consistent mid range game and is a strong finisher at the rim.
Trey Murray Trey Murray 6'2" | PG Wesley Chapel | 2024 State FL – Heart and Hustle Elite – Wesley Chapel High School – Trey was a walking bucket all weekend long and clearly one of the best guards in the gym. Trey has a solid IQ for the game and moves well without the ball. Trey can attack from all over the floor and seems to score at will. Trey goes hard on both ends of the floor and had an impressive weekend overall.
Domantas Matijosaitis – Team Dynasty – Atlantic Community – Domantas is a lights out shooter who seems to always find his spot on the floor. Domantas is a physical player with a solid frame who played a key part in his team going 4-0 in the Passion Region Kickoff. Domantas is a seasoned travel player who can do a little bit of everything for his team and I am excited to see how things unfold throughout the course of the travel season.
Ryan Blount Ryan Blount 6'6" | CG Rockledge | 2024 State FL – Athletes of Influence – Oviedo High School – Perhaps the best pure shooter in his class Ryan is a 6’5 sniper who can light up the scoreboard and provide clutch baskets when needed. Ryan is the captain of this exciting squad and led the team to several key wins throughout the course of the weekend. Ryan shoots at a high percentage from the field and is a solid rebounder as well. Ryan has a college ready frame and will be amongst the best players on the circuit.
Adonai Mussie – No Excuses Elite – Parkview High School – This was an exciting team to watch over the weekend not only did they go undefeated at 4-0 but we found a star in the making 6’8 Adonai was simply dominant and was a force to be dealt with. He was nearly unstoppable and led his team to several dominating victories. This tough squad out of Georgia will be making a lot of noise on the circuit and this young man will be a big reason why.
