The 6-2 sophomore riser is still growing into his frame but has displayed a high IQ and passing skills with the rock. He's an underrated athletic combo piece that can play solid defense and be an offensive asset.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1612163' first='Travis' last='Triplett'] | F | 2026 | Carrollwood Day | @D1_trav2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Triplett is another BOARD MAN who gets his on the glass while contributing a scoring bag. College ready frame at 6-8 and has plenty of time to add weight as he's just a sophomore. Breaking down his game, he's a confident player who can make it happen near the rim with size and effort or put the ball on the floor to take defenders to the basket. A long-framed prospect that can protect the rim as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299640' first='Ethan' last='Sabec'] | G | 2026 | Calvary Christian | @EthanSabec2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>College coaches looking for a rising versatile 2026 G that can shoot lights out with a deep bag of skills, get eyes on <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299640' first='Ethan' last='Sabec']</strong>. This kid is fresh off an 18.5 ppg and 7.7 rebound season where he finished second on the team in scoring as a sophomore. With a 6-7 frame, he has truly put his name even more on the map with some productive performances this AAU period. Another high upside prospect that has a chance to lock in college offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2134671' first='Brandon' last='Brazell'] | CG | 2026 | Martin County | @Brandon24skunk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brazell is a lengthy and athletic 6-5 versatile guard who averaged 16.0 points with 7.8 rebounds per game for his high school last season. He's made some noise in the off-season period to help raise his stock for college interest. Brazell is a solid shooter who can guard various positions and should see an uptick in interest.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2800170' first='Luke' last='McCrimon'] | CG | 2026 | Osceola | @showtime_lukee</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid is making it happen in the off-season period to develop his game after leading Osceola in scoring with 18.4 points per game last season.

The 6-1 combo guard has the spring and summer periods to get his frame right and get the Kowboys back to winning spirits.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Arcadian Davis | F | 2026 | Lennard | @arcadian_davis</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 stats: </strong>17.8 PPG – 10.6 rebounds – 1.9 blocks&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is an explosive going forward that's growing into his game and body but man the athleticism is something to get eyes on. The lefty stands around 6-6 with plenty of time to add weight to his lengthy frame. Impressed with the season numbers and how he moves on film. Wouldn't be surprised if he sees an uptick in college interest with more eyes on his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Frankie Sosa Jr | CG | 2026 | Norland | @frankisosajr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sosa is a rising two-sport athlete in the South Florida area who recently transferred over to Miami Norland.
