The 6-4 combo guard has limitless range whether it's from inside or outside he will make you pay. Last season for St. Petersburg, Gross averaged 20.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game as they reached the state championship game. Gross currently holds offers from Dartmouth, Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast, SMU, Southern Illinois, South Florida and Wake Forest. Gross was also named to the All-State 1st team last season.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1060243"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Scott has improved his ball handling over the last three years and has the tendency to guard multiple positions on the defensive side. The 6-5 small forward is coming off his best season, as he averaged 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game for Riverside High School in Jacksonville. He also has the ability to attack the rim and is unafraid to finish with contact. Could be a big impact player this upcoming season for the Generals.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["963313"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Williams, a Florida State University football commit was a double-double machine for Stranahan High School last season averaging 12.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Williams played a huge role in the state semifinal game vs Pine Forest last March, where he finished with 11 points and 15 rebounds. Williams will look to play another huge role this upcoming season for the Mighty Dragons.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1310860"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Clayton has the complete package of a modern-day basketball player, as he can score from anywhere on the floor and is a phenomenal defender. Last season he made a team-high 80 made three-pointers and has the potential to be one of the best shooters in Southwest Florida. Not only does he excel on the court, but he is a hard-worker in the classroom as he currently has a 4.1 grade point average. Big senior season looming for the Barron Collier star. Last season he averaged 15.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game leading the Cougars to a regional final appearance.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["812626"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"James is fundamentally sound on both ends of the floor, as he has a pure jump shot that is almost near automatic. On the defensive side, James has a quick first step and can go get rebounds with positions one through five. Last season for Leesburg, James averaged 18.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 steals per game while shooting 52 percent from the field. Impact senior season coming for James as he has mid-major D1 programs interested in the 6-5 small forward.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://poll.fm/11242140","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"crowdsignal","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-crowdsignal wp-block-embed-crowdsignal"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://poll.fm/11242140 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
