<p>[player_tooltip player_id='814550' first='Dylan' last='James']- The University of Georgia signee showed he is a true three-level scorer throughout the season, averaging 12.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game for Winter Haven this season. He also led the Blue Devils to a state runner-up finish this past season. The 6-9 power forward was a problem for most defenses as he brought his soft shooting touch and can finish well around the rim as well. </p>

<p>Edgerrin James Jr.- The future Cincinnati Bearcat can score in a variety of ways, whether he is going downhill or shooting from the perimeter. He averaged 22.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game this season for Olympia leading his team to a regional semifinal appearance. He is also a dynamic passer and is unafraid to drive and kick out finding an open shooter. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='962384' first='Anthony' last='Robinson'] II- The future Missouri Tiger showed the entire season he is one of the top shooters in the state. From his junior to senior season, he increased his points per game average by nearly four points from 15.0 to 18.8. His explosive athleticism also created problems for most defenses throughout the season as he scored a season-high 31 points in a win over Maclay back in December. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='709259' first='Sam' last='Walters']- The University of Alabama signee played with aggression and is a true scorer and rebounder. He averaged a near double-double (23.0 points and 9.9 rebounds per game) this season leading his team to their first state championship game appearance in school history. His size and length made it difficult for defenders to block his shot and his ability to stretch the floor took a step forward this season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='709227' first='Jaylen' last='Carey']- The James Madison University commit is an athletic freak and his ability to play multiple positions shows that he will be just fine at the next level. Carey averaged 14.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game for Westminster Academy and led the Lions to the regional final this season. On the defensive end he is a disrupter averaging 1.5 blocked shots per game as well. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578301' first='John' last='Gamble']- The 6-6 combo guard still remains unsigned at this point, but that didn't take away his stellar season for his program. Gamble averaged 19.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game this season for the Tarpons. His ability to improve his range this season took a step forward and caused defensive laps. He brought a combination of speed, athleticism and rim protection on the defensive end as well. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1642704' first='Latrell' last='Davis']- The 6-3 combo guard took a step forward with his improvement as an on-the-ball defender. He is a floor general and also excelled at jumping the passing lanes, averaging two steals per game this season. On the offensive end, he was at his best when he attacked downhill and getting to the basket with his speed and ability to finish with contact. He averaged 23.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season for First Baptist Academy. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='962495' first='Kjei' last='Parker']- Transferring from Bartow to Winter Haven last off-season made us question what kind of role will he be... The floor general didn't miss a beat this season as he continued to impress throughout the season, whether he was playing on the ball or off. The Florida A&M commit averaged 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game for the Blue Devils. He also knocked in the game-winning shot to lift his team to the state championship game. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='709251' first='Nate' last='Sasser']- The 6-6 combo guard can impact the game in a variety of ways whether it's creating his own shot or setting up for an open teammate. He is a true three-level scorer as well as athletic enough to guard multiple positions on the defensive end. He currently holds offers from Florida Gulf Coast and South Florida. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578254' first='Camerin' last='James']- The 6-5 shooting guard is a powerful athlete and has a sweet shooting stroke from 20 feet and in. James has the ability to also run the offense as he has great court vision and is a facilitator. James averaged 18.0 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season for Leesburg. On the defensive end his length and ability to jump passes took a step forward increasing his steals per game average from 1.5 to 2.7 this season as well. </p>
