Reginald Reinhardt Reginald Reinhardt 6'0" | PG Wellington | 2024 State FL | G | Class of 2024 | Wellington | @ReginaldReinha5
2022 stats: 11.8 ppg | 4.0 rebounds | 2.5 assists | 2.0 steals
Reinhardt is an all-around guard prospect that can affect the game in various ways. He’s still being slept on but has made some noise heading into the fall season and shown he has decent upside for the next level. Reinhardt is a solid scoring product with a good frame that he can use to bully smaller guards. He’s displayed good body control around the rim and keeps his head up to make plays for other teammates.
Jordin Bell | G | Class of 2024 | West Oaks | @Jordinbell_
2022 stats: 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.5 steals
Bell is a deadly sniper that makes opposing defenders have to close out with hands or else. He’s also had a productive AAU season where you can see the development of his athleticism as he’s been rising to the basket. Bell has a reliable jumper, good body and handle control that’s put his name on the radar as he looks to pick up more college interest.

Carter McDole | SF | Class of 2024 | DNA Prep Academy | @CarterMcdole
2022 stats: 9.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals
McDole is a 6’7 versatile wing prospect who has made a name for himself during the AAU period playing with Team Florida. He’s still developing and growing into his frame but has proved to be a high-motor forward who can run the floor, rim protect, and finish baskets in the paint. College coaches can use a long and length forward that can score when needed and be a meaningful piece to the defensive scheme. *Moved to CA.
Elyjah Freeman Elyjah Freeman 6'6" | SF Wellington | 2024 State FL | F | Class of 2024 | Wellington | @elyjahfreeman_
Freeman has a high level of untapped potential combined with a college-ready frame makes him an interesting 2024 prospect. Decent dribbling skills, and jumper and can be productive on the boards. Plenty of time to add weight to his frame but is on my watchlist as the fall season approaches.
Royal Blue Smith | PG | Class of 2024 | Southern Coast Academy | @iamroyalblue_
2022 stats: 18 ppg
Smith is a poised leader who controls the engine of the offense with his aggressive but unselfish play style. He put on some impressive performances while traveling during the AAU period. Smith is a natural scorer with the rock and can also create space and make it happen to find open teammates. He also has a good defensive IQ and is active with his hands to force steals.
