Daniel Coldiron

The 6-1 guard was terrific in all three phases whether it was stuffing the stat sheet or getting his teammates involved. Coldiron played with a high IQ throughout the game and is one of the most underrated passers in the Southwest Florida area. He finished with a game-high 22 points in a win over Strive For Greatness.
The 6-0 sophomore is a name you are going to need to know as we gear up for the summer. Kyler can score on all three levels and it surely showed for Tampa Wardogs in a win over OTOD 2025 Blue. Kyler displayed limitless range from beyond the arc and is a shotmaker from anywhere within the half court.
Highlights
The 5-8 guard is sneaky quick when he has the basketball in his hands. McDuffie sparked in the second half for OTOD 2025 after having a quiet first half by knocking down a pair of 3-pointers to get his team going. McDuffie also showed elite defense whether he was playing on or off the ball. A lot of upside for McDuffie as he continues to grow his game as he gears up for his junior season.
AJ Hairston

The 6-3 combo guard plays with a ton of energy and athleticism as he was facilitating throughout the night and continues to be one of the underrated guards we’ve seen this spring. His growth and maturity have taken to a new level as he gears up for his senior season.
The 6-5 wing is a freak of an athlete where he can do it all… Moody was scoring at the front of the rim at a high level, as well as shooting efficiently from beyond the arc. His defensive ability to guard multiple positions on the floor also brought attention as he forced his opposition to take tough shots.
