For this week, let’s break down a few teams and highlight some of the top prospects of the last couple of weeks.
JT Tipton JT Tipton 5'11" | PG Lecanto | 2026 FL | ATH | 2026 | Lecanto | @jttipton10
2023 stats: 26.3 PPG – 7.0 assists – 5.0 rebounds – 4.3 steals
When taking a look at all Tipton accomplished during his freshman season, I mean it speaks for itself about what type of production he’s capable of while being a leader of a team. He’s a sniper prospect with a reliable three-point jumper and a sneaky defender who can rack up steals. One of the highest scorers in the class of 2026 so far has led his team to a 2-1 start.
Kohl Rosario Kohl Rosario 6'5" | PG Florida Christian School - Miami | 2025 State FL | CG | 2025 | Florida Christian School | @kohl_rosario
2023 stats: 25.3 PPG – 7.0 rebounds – 1.0 blocks
The Dominican playmaker is one of the more underrated prospects in the South Florida region playing with NSU University a season ago. Rosario is now with Florida Christian School and is making his case as a productive junior prospect with more in-game film, but is set for an important junior season. Just check the film, he can run the floor, shoot well from mid or three-range, and has a good motor on the defensive side. He’s helped Florida Christian to a 3-1 start while putting up some good numbers.
Josiah Shackelford | CG | 2024 | Seminole | @JosiahShackelf1
One that I’ve slept on during the off-season but is a Real Deal bucket. Shackleford helped defeat Winter Park on Saturday while recording 22 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals. Got to keep an eye on his progression and output for Bokey this season.
George Ham | G | 2024 | North Florida United | @GeorgeHamm_
The senior guard is the life of the NFU offense as he scored 15 points, while adding four assists and three rebounds in a 69-57 win over Ed White. No matter his frame, he’ll be a player to watch this season as a true point guard prospect.
Camden Cooper Camden Cooper 6'5" | CG FL | G | 2028 | St. John’s Country Day | @CamdenCooper15
2023 stats: 21.3 PPG – 2.0 rebounds – 3.3 steals
The 8th-grade guard prospect is intriguing when taking a look at his frame and potential upside. He leads the Spartans’ offense as he recorded 23 points in a 69-34 victory over River City Science Academy to help SJCD to a 3-1 start.
Treymar Jones | G | Milton | 2025 | @3marbuckets
2023 stats: 14.3 PPG – 6.3 rebounds – 2.8 assists
The North Florida junior guard prospect put up good numbers in a 57-53 win over Pine Forest, recording 22 points and 8 rebounds to add.
