<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have reached the midway point in the 2023-2024 High School Basketball Season. Over the next couple of days, Prep Hoops Florida scouts are taking a deep dive into who has provided the biggest stock. We will be starting with this year's senior class and concluding with the freshman early next week. Coaches, if you have a player who deserves to be recognized please send me an email (rossvdg14@gmail.com) or a direct message on X @RossVDG14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1055760"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003eu003cemu003e2023-2024 Stats: 23.0 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 3.8 APG u0026amp; 2.2 SPGu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003ernrnThe Saint Leo University signee is starting to flourish on the scene as he can impact the game in a variety of ways on the offensive end. Murray can score on all three levels which includes his heavy dose of athleticism when he is getting to the rim. He plays with a ton of confidence and he gets his teammates involved whether it's off the bounce or off the catch. His defensive mechanics have also improved where he is very active in the passing lanes where he turns defense into offense in a hurry.","_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":2317915,"_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Josiah Schakelford","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_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":"Sanford Seminole","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076371' first='Showtime' last='Ballers']","_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 22.1 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 3.4 APG u0026amp; 4.0 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnThe 6-4 senior guard is an absolute menace on both ends of the floor whether it's scoring around the rim or protecting the glass. Shackelford plays with a ton of length and has a smooth inside-out game where he has also improved his footwork. On the defensive end, he has a strong nose for the basketball and is very active when it comes to guarding on the ball where he can get strips which lead to baskets in transition. There's no doubt in my mind that Shackelford isn't playing at the next level sometime next year.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1163620"],"_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":"u003cemu003eu003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 19.9 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 3.1 APG u0026amp; 2.7 SPGu003c/strongu003eu003c/emu003ernrnWhen you take a look at Delgardo's game you can see he has a very heavy dose of athleticism where he can finish off lobs or get to the rim through traffic. He is a high-level offensive prospect who can score on all three levels whether it's off the bounce or the catch. On the defensive end of the floor, Delgardo has shown he has quick feet and can get into the passing lanes using his length to get deflections. His energy and play-making abilities have continued to improve as he has gained a ton of college interest.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1722577"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 21.4 PPG, 8.9 RPG u0026amp; 1.1 APGu003c/strongu003ernrnThe 6-8 senior forward and University of North Florida signee has a strong inside-out game on the offensive end where he can knock down shots from the low-block as well as out on the perimeter. On the defensive end, Harris is very versatile when it comes to playing with his length and can guard multiple positions. Harris also uses his length when it comes to challenging shots around the rim as well as a strong rebounder who is unafraid when it comes to pushing the basketball up the floor in transition. Keep an eye on Harris for the rest of this season as he continues to make a strong impact as well as making his teammates better.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1859283"],"_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":"u003cstrongu003e2023-2024 Stats: 14.3 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.5 APG u0026amp; 1.5 SPGu003c/strongu003ernrnThe 6-2 senior guard is very crafty and explosive when he has the basketball in his hands where he adds a dangerous 3-point scoring threat. Ritchie is also a solid ball-handler and his strong IQ allows him to make the right reads as well as find open teammates on the drive. On the defensive end of the floor, Ritchie is very versatile and can guard off-the-ball utilizing his footwork and position himself to get the rebound. He also has very strong instincts when it comes to defending the passing lanes as he can force steals into points on the other end. Look for Ritchie to have a strong second half of the season as his recruitment should start heating up real soon.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659db9d3d1a5c"} /-->
