Continue ReadingThe sophomore class showed promise in their first varsity season. This group looks deep at the top, especially with the talent coming into Florida’s premier programs. Below are five names to track as the 2022-23 season approaches.
Joseph Gayle | Fort Pierce Central
Gayle will join a pair of top 35 ranked 2025s on the court and in the rankings when we reshuffle the deck. He’s an athletic 6’2 guard that can play on and off the ball. The sophomore plays above the rim in transition, can knock down spot-up threes, attack in the half court, and make eye popping defensive plays.
Jordan Taylor | Charlotte
Taylor is an under the radar prospect from southwest Florida. At 6’7 with decent mobility, the 2025 prospect has the upside to change that over the next three seasons. Charlotte lost six seniors last season, who contributed 37 points of the team’s 58 points per game. That loss of production could give the forward the chance he needs to make his mark.
Carter Reins Carter Reins 6'8" | SF Jesuit Tampa | 2025 State FL | Tampa Prep
Reins played varsity as a raw 6’8 big man that can hit midrange jumpers. One thing you can’t teach is height; as he develops his feel for the game, he’ll use his frame to contribute more to games. Luckily, he plays for a summer program that focuses on skill development. If Tampa Prep wants to get out of the first round of districts this year, Reins will need to improve on the 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks he averaged as a freshman.
Sean Standifer Sean Standifer 6'4" | SG Lake Worth | 2025 State FL | Wellington
Standifer played all 29 games for a team that reached the regional semifinals as a freshman. At 6’4, his frame alone helps him standout on the court. A consistent shot from deep and a nose for boards earned the wing consistent minutes as a freshman. He was a near double-double threat for the Wellington Wolves Select 15U. With a leading scorer and two others seniors graduating last season, Standifer is in the perfect position to step up as the Wolverines’ third option.
Bryce Heard Bryce Heard 6'6" | SG Homewood Flossmoor | 2025 State #86 Nation IL | Montverde Academy
Heard, a transfer from Chicago, Illinois, joins a talented roster poised for another national championship run. The 6’5 guard brings three-level scoring, open court athleticism, and solid passing instincts into the state. He’s already considered a high major recruit with offers from Georgetown, Oklahoma, Cal, and several others vying for his talents.
