<p>Corris has a skillset you can't teach size. The 6'8 2026 prospect has a sturdy frame. He looks the part today, but with added strength and coordination, he could be a prospect who rises among the state sophomore class.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2802065' first='Jared' last='Thompson'] | The Villages<br>Thompson is a do-it-all combo guard who makes winning plays. The 6'3 combo guard uses his shooting to space the floor, can run an offense as a secondary ball handler, and defends both backcourt positions. He rebounds and fills in holes on the floor. Being this young and knowing how to affect the game in many ways will take Thompson far.</p>

<p>Kirk has proven he can lead a team on a deep run to the playoffs as a lead guard. He's unleashing his speed on defenses and finishing at the rim against size at a high level. It's all about body control when Kirk gets to the hole. He can finish through contact and finish at different angles.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1660058' first='TJ' last='Daniels'] | King<br>Coming into high school, Daniels was known as a scorer; now that he's caught up to the speed of the game, he's back to his old tricks. He's a quick, creative scorer who hasn't found a shot he doesn't like or can't make. As he rounds out his game, he'll see how scoring gravity creates for others. Right now, he's a bonafide bucket that takes it at his defender with quickness and a handle that breaks down the man in front of him.</p>

<p>Hazzan Antonio Efford | SE Prep<br>If you're looking for a pesky defender in 2026, keep Efford on your radar. He's undersized but has the speed and toughness to make up for it. He stays in front of his man and forces him to change direction or cough up a turnover. On offense, he can hit the three and hit jumpers in isolation.</p>
