Ingram has 6’5 size and above the rim athleticism at the lead guard spot. He’s a true floor general that can fill up the cup at all three levels. Ingram is a flat-out winner that led his team to the state final four as a freshman and won a state championship in football in the winter. He’s a physical mismatch at point guard and one of the best 2025 combo guards in the state.
Adyn Corbin – Wildwood
Corbin is a quick hot shooting guard. He dials in deep three-pointers and combines real lead guard skills. The sophomore leads his team in scoring, second in assists, and first in steals. He might have a slight frame, but it doesn’t stop him from getting to the basket and finishing against athletic bodies.
Roldjudson Lacossade – Vanguard
Lacossade hopped on my radar after finishing top 5 in scoring and first in rebounds for the Turks and Caicos 15U team in August. He’s a raw 6’5 big with a solid frame and long arms. The sophomore may be a project, but the frame and production at the international and varsity levels are promising. His best basketball is ahead of him. He’s more of a second-chance scorer that gets off the ground quickly and keeps plays alive on the offensive boards.
CJ Hall – Hilliard
Hall adds depth to the 2025 recruiting class. He’s a 6’2 guard with the athleticism to finish above the rim and around defenders in traffic. Hall’s been on a scoring tear as a 20-point-per-game scorer with crafty dribble moves. He competes on the boards and as an on-ball defender. His team may not have the toughest strength of schedule, but it’s something to being head and shoulders above the competition as a sophomore.

– Jay
Watson is a hidden gem nestled in the northern part of the panhandle. You can’t leave the 6’7 forward open on the wing because he’ll knock down the college three all day. Running him off his spot only opens him up for a one-dribble side step three. He’s not very athletic, but he is fundamentally sound, with an understanding of angles and head fakes to create clean looks. It’s evident Watson is a well-drilled player that can finish plays and make places to cutters from the high post and wing.
