Continue ReadingThe Gauntlet on the Gulf is well underway at the IMG Academy in beautiful Bradenton, Florida. Prep Hoops scouts Allen Pettigrew, Kyle Sandy and Ross Van De Griek are on the grounds of the event. Here are the 16U players who stood out on Saturday afternoon:
The 6-7 sophomore wing continues to develop as one of the best wings in the Southwest Florida area. Taylor finished with a double-double (13 points and 11 rebounds) for SWFL Hoops 2025 in their win over Filling The Lane. Taylor is one of the strongest finishers around the rim and can also battle on the boards with anybody. Huge upside for Taylor as he gears up for his junior season.
Roman Mathieu

The 6-0 guard is lanky and shows a lot of quickness when he is out on the floor. His ability to score on all three levels has been impressive throughout the weekend for Central Florida Heat. Mathieu can also utilize his size and get to the front of the rim with a quick first step. His ability to jump into the passing lanes has also been worth noting as he is an impact player on the defensive end.
Rocco Lamuno

The 6-4 point guard continues his ability to be a score-first guard after putting up a game-high 34 points in a win over Elite Hustlers 2024. He followed up with a 28-point performance in a win against Ballers Elite Academy 2025. Lamuno played with complete control and pace throughout the game and his game is starting to take a leap to a brand new level. Recruitment stock will start to heat up this summer as he gears up for his senior season.

The 5-10 guard is a mature point guard beyond his years. He can create and initiate the offense with his crisp passing and quick ball movement. Peterson also shows that he can change speeds when he has the basketball in his hands. He is a true three-level scorer and has shown a ton of upside as we gear up for the summer months, followed by what is to be a promising sophomore season.
Suber is a typical all-around player who has shown a ton of upside as the primary facilitator for SWFL Hoops 2025. He is a dynamic playmaker who has the ability to play both guard positions at a high level. Suber finished with 10 points but his shot selection was excellent throughout the game in a win over Liberty Edge.
