<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over the course of the next several weeks heading into Fall Leagues and showcases, Prep Hoops is taking a deeper dive at the Class of 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027 prospects who caught our eyes this summer. This week, we will be starting with the rising seniors. If you have a player who deserves to be recognized, please send @RossVDG14 on X (Formerly known as Twitter) a direct message.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1477728"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 6-1 rising junior point guard transferred from Lowndes (Georgia) to Windermere Prep earlier in the summer, displaying the true definition of playing the point guard position. He is one of the most consistent perimeter shooting threats in the upcoming junior class. He also displays a high basketball IQ when it comes to his decision-making on when to pass or shoot the basketball. On the defensive end, he brings a physical presence where he is an above average rebounder for his size and also plays with a ton of strength. He also brings in a sneak of athleticism where he can be used in a variety of ways.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Brodey Cuffle","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"North Tampa Christian","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"Southeast Elite Gold","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"The 6-5 rising junior guard opened up a lot of eyes this summer where he can impact the game with his scoring on all three levels. Cuffle can also get up and down the floor at a quick rate for his size, as well as jumping the passing lanes at an elite level. On the defensive side, Cuffle plays with a lot of versatility and can defend multiple positions where he is often at times guarding the perimeter. Cuffle is also an above-average rebounder who can battle for rebounds with the best of them using his length to an advantage.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1450213"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The 6-7 rising junior played with a ton of energy on both ends of the floor this summer for Southeast Elite. Kamara uses his length and size to his advantage whether it's getting rebounds or timely blocks. Kamara displays great footwork on the offensive end where he has a smooth touch around the front of the rim. His mid-range game was more consistent as a sophomore than it was his freshman season. Kamara will look to feel more confident shooting from the perimeter this season as he continues to become a natural three-level scoring threat.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":[1532545],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The 6-3 rising junior wing displayed a lot of improvement this summer with his ability to play on all three levels. Jackson has an unselfish knack and gets his teammates involved in the action with the extra pass to set up a great shot. On the defensive end of the floor, Jackson uses his length where he can jump the passing lanes for steals as well as have quick feet where he can defend out on the perimeter. Jackson brings a ton of athleticism to his game as well and is poised to have a big junior season this year.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1293157"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The 6-6 rising junior guard has good ball-handling skills where he can display a great feel across all three scoring levels. Leslie also displays a great first-step where he can get to the front of the rim and finish effectively on both sides of the rim. On the defensive side, he is very active with his hands and is an above-average athlete where he can battle for rebounds with the best of them. Leslie is also very quick in transition where he can turn defense into offense in a hurry as well. College coaches should begin looking at this prospect before time slowly runs out as he is considered to be one of our underrated junior guards this season.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64e61d8068b15"} /-->
