I’m not sure how this kid doesn’t have 15+ Division I offers. Blazi is a 6-8 versatile product that is much more than an athletic big body. He can stretch the floor with his solid outside jumper, push the floor with speed and velocity, and rim protect with shot blocking capabilities. Just check the film, Blazi is one of the more slept-on recruits that can make an early impact at the next level. One of the premier 2024 prospects that has a chance to get on the national radar.

Darius Cunningham Jr.
A North Florida prospect that has been overlooked and underappreciated by a lot of scouting outlets. Just look at the production and accolades from a season ago: 1st in Rebounds Per Game 6A District 1 (8.6) – 1st in Assists Per Game 6A District 1 (4.5) – 1st in Double-Doubles 6A District 1 (10) – 3rd in Points Per Game 6A District 1 (14.9) – T-3rd in Steals Per Game 6A District 1 (2.0). This kid is a future production combo guard at the next level that has decent size and upside to be a consistent scoring threat. He’s averaging over 20.0 PPG and will be crucial for him to continue with the overall output in all categories.
Lanier is entertaining to watch on the floor because of his versatility and ability to contribute on both ends. He’s a 6’4 combo guard with decent athleticism and explosiveness that he uses to finish strong at the rim and contest lay ups on the defensive side with good hops. Lanier has developed into a leader for VCA who will look for his help to make a deep push in the playoffs.

The 6-3 rising senior is a reliable shooter behind the arc and a consistent scorer that understands how to use his frame to finish at the rim. Naylor can also be a factor on the defensive end, racking nearly 3 steals per game during his senior regular season. College coaches have to get eyes on this kid.
2023 stats: 9.0 ppg – 5.9 rebounds – 6.3 blocks The Blue Streaks have a solid, slept-on squad who have put together a respectable 14-8 regular season record. The rising 6-8 senior Sylvester Lewis is a lengthy forward prospect standing at 6-foot-10 with good athletic ability and defensive instincts as he racked up over six blocks per game this season.
