<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Early in September, Plant High School basketball coach Joe Willis organized a camp to show off the talent around the Tampa area. More than 100 sophomores, juniors, and seniors gathered to play in front of media and college coaches. Here are five standouts from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1879520"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514d755a620f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1879520' first='Julien' last='Barnett'] is a 6'4 wing with the length, toughness, and athleticism to compete on both ends. He's a good transition scorer with the explosive to score above the rim, the speed to separate on the break, and the skill to make moves at full speed. His cutting and midrange jumper ate his main scoring weapons in the half-court. Barnett attacks better on the right side but can shoot going either way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055721"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514d755a6280"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seals is a 6'5 guard who's always had the tools to play at a high level and now has the skills and mindset to dominate with them. He's built like a linebacker with the strength and explosiveness to power through players and lives at the rim. Seals has Division 1 athleticism with three-level scoring flashes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306085"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514d755a62ca"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White shot the cover off the ball like he usually does. Whether his feet are set or he's coming off a screen, White is a consistent shooter from beyond the arc. If you're looking for a floor-spacing guard who competes on the defensive end, you should take a look.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055733"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514d755a630d"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payne is a big body 6'6 lefty forward with a versatile skillset. He's a good passer in transition and from the high post. The 2024 prospect has flashes of a face-up game and ranges out to the college three-point line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1503608"],"_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":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6514d755a634e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Costello is a sleeper prospect from the Tampa area who knows how to play the game. He's an athletic, stocky 6'3 combo guard who scores at the rim and in transition. He plays hard and defends bigger players because of his strength. Costello is a physical matchup whose footwork and motor make him stand out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Early in September, Plant High School basketball coach Joe Willis organized a camp to show off the talent around the Tampa area. More than 100 sophomores, juniors, and seniors gathered to play in front of media and college coaches. Here are five standouts from the event.
