Recruiting Update: South Florida

<p>Recruiting news and information never stops in South Florida. Area seniors are about to graduate and head off to college in the fall. More so, underclassmen are currently traveling to circuit showcases across the country. They’re next in the recruiting pipeline.. </p> <p>Let’s dive into some recent news.</p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="829495" first="Kareem" last="Barnett"] committed to Frank Phillips College (TX). The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 7.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game while shooting 49 percent from the field for Hallandale this season. Barnett also played for Mater Lakes Academy as a junior. He is a high-level athlete, especially in the open floor. Barnett has also shown ability to attack the rim off the dribble in the halfcourt. I think junior college will help him hone in his basketball skill. Overall, Barnett’s upside is something to monitor. </p> <p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1155270" first="Logan" last="Knight"] recently committed to Barry University.
