Tillery brings the toughness that allowed him to play power forward as a 6’4 sophomore to the perimeter. He’s now listed at 6’6 and uses his size and athleticism to take wings off the bounce. He’s a stat sheet stuffer ranked in the top 3 in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. Tillery is an efficient Swiss Army knife that produces on high-level teams.

Windermere | 2024
State

| Windermere
The leap Torres has made from sophomore to junior year is among the best in the state. He operated more as spot up shoot and secondary ball handler last year and took his shooting on the move, making him a dynamic on-ball creator. He has good size for a combo guard at 6’4, knows how to break down a defense to find teammates, and scores on all levels but lives in the midrange and beyond the arc.
Jalen Escontrias | Evans
Escontrias has oddity instincts and shooting behind the arc in spades. I’ve seen games where he gets hot beyond the arc and hits shots off the catch and dribble. He can find teammates across the court and throws passes from angles where you wouldn’t think he could see his teammate. The 2023 prospect has made plays in the pick and roll, consistently finding the roll man.
Jermarien Williams | Leesburg
Last year Williams was a 6’5 forward who was all legs and arms. This year he’s a 6’7 combo forward with real wing skills. Williams’ versatility to both sides of the ball is vital to his team. He stretches the floor, finishes above the rim in transition, and is an active offensive rebounder. The 2024 prospect’s best basketball is way ahead of him.
Julian Clarke

Clarke
6'0" | SG
Lake Highland Prep | 2024
State

| Lake Highlands Prep
Clarke has next-level quickness off screens and dribble handoffs. He uses his tight handle to navigate traffic and create separation. Clarke gets downhill with a quick first step and bursts out a change of pace moves. He’s a strong driver despite a slight frame. The 2024 guard has the touch to finish around the rim at different angles. He can stop on a dime to hit midrange jumpers.
