<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2197808' first='Logan' last='Brown'] | Booker T. Washington </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The 6'7 forward plays a physical game despite his thin frame. He's an active rebounder on both ends, finishes well in traffic, and uses his length to affect his matchup. Brown missed his junior season with an injury but looks poised for a strong senior campaign.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1620357' first='Joseph' last='Gayle'] | Fort Pierce Central</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gayle isn't exactly new but he's one of the best overlooked 2025s in the state. He's a 6'4 guard that can knock down open shots, get to the rim, and is flat out athlete. His physical frame and length give him ideal size for the next level. He's an active defender that attacks passing lanes and capitalizes in transition. Polishing his handle will round out his game and give him more of a combo guard feel.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2134660' first='Kevin' last='Thomas'] Jr. | Hilliard</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Effort and energy are key parts to Thomas Jr.'s game. The 6'4 forward uses his length and spring loaded legs to keep plays alive on the boards. He converts offensive rebounds into second chance points and finishes through contact. Thomas has long arms and a promising shooting touch from the free throw line.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2197292' first='Jalen' last='Lee'] | West Oaks</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lee is the latest high major guard to pilot West Oaks. He's a big 6'4 guard with a rock solid frame. His ability to marry his movement and handle make him a dangerous slasher. Lee gets whoever he wants on the floor and competes with the best of them. He can put pressure on the rim from any spot on the floor. Lee is currently ranked outside the top 150 but that won't last long as he takes on the SIAA and grind session this season. Easily one of the best scorers of Day 1.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2306307' first='Jayelen' last='Jonas'] | Blanche Ely</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jonas is an explosive wing that excels in transition. He plays with a high motor and gives you defensive versatility. He'll guard every position on the floor using his length and physicality to slow down bigger players and his athleticism to play perimeter players. Jonas is a rising 2025 with tons of potential and an ability to make an impact without needing the ball.</p>
