5 Stockrisers of The Summer

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the first full in person travel ball season in three years ends, it's time to give prospects their flowers. We're looking at five guys that have changed their recruiting futures with three months of high-level performances. It's time to shine a light on a few players that'll see their names move up Prep Hoops Florida's rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1441766,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8657.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8657-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1441766"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1306716" first="Michael" last="Reyes"]</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reyes played on one of the best in southwest Florida. Since their regional championship lost in March, I've kept tabs on the 6'4 combo guard. The bounce, athleticism, and shot-making are all there. He's garnered interest from schools at different levels, but Dean College is the first to offer. If you're in the market for a bigger guard that can play on or off the ball, Reyes is worth the watch, especially as he enters his senior year with much more responsibility for his team's success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1055592" first="Daniel" last="MacGregor"]</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1388841,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/IMG_7843-rotated.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/02/IMG_7843-150x150.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id="1055592" first="Daniel" last="MacGregor"] | The Traveling Hoopers" class="wp-image-1388841"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Macgregor did a lot for his stock this summer. He put together one of the most consistent players averaging double digit points and four assists a game throughout all 4 EYBL sessions and Peach Jam. He's tough, strong, and smart, and Stetson honored that with an offer in late June. Prep Hoops Florida regards the 2024 point guard as a top 30 prospect, and he could see that rise as we reshuffle our board in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="709246" first="Carl" last="Parrish"]</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When I spoke to Parrish about his recruiting in June, his interest lists included D3 and NAIA schools. After shooting the nets down during the fourth EYBL session and Peach Jam, the rising senior landed Monmouth, Robert Morris, and Presbyterian University. He shot 35 from three through ten games, with many of his shots coming way beyond the high school three. Removing his 1 for 10 game skyrockets him to 44% beyond the arc. What Parrish offers as a 6'2 lead guard with deep shooting and solid playmaking has put him in a higher tier this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1435380,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Joseph-Gayle.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/Joseph-Gayle-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1435380"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Joseph Gayle</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gayle was relatively unknown, throughout the state, until giving the Prep Hoops Circuit a show every time he touched the floor. The athletic 6'2 combo guard has a high ceiling. His combination of spot-up shooting and slashing made him one of the best scoring 15U options in the Passion Region. He takes the toughest perimeter assignment, each game pestering them with his length, quickness, and athletic burst. He's a monster in transition. Not only can he finish on the break, but he can chase you down to pin a shot to the backboard. Gayle will be a name we have to put in the top 50 for the state's 2025 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":1292977,"sizeSlug":"thumbnail","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-thumbnail"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/182-Max-Sims.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/182-Max-Sims-150x150.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1292977"/></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1164282" first="Max" last="Sims"]</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Standing 6'5 with a wide frame, Sims always looked like a sleeper in the 2023 class. Now he's filling out and continuing to shoot the ball like few can in the state. It's earned him some attention this summer. New Mexico, Alabama A&amp;M, and Binghamton have all offered the marksman. His most translatable skills are his ability to score off the ball while coming off screens and spacing the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
