The 2025 class is loaded with talent and it will be on full display this travel season, not only in SWFL but across the entire state. Keep an eye on these prospects as they continue to grow their game and look to build their stock this offseason and into their final year of high school.
Fogle is a jack-of-all trades, who seems to affect the game in multiple ways every time he steps on the court. He is a strong bodied guard who loves the game and takes pride in his defense. Fogle won’t back down from any assignment and is an above-average rebounder on both ends of the court. He has a very high basketball IQ and does whatever it takes to get the win. He has great handles and will beat you off the dribble and finish at the rim with contact, or really hurt you from outside, where he is a lethal 3-point shooter. Fogle is a prospect that will make a college program very happy one day.
Highlights
Adrian Llamo
Adrian Llamo
The sharpshooter from Naples is a gym rat who is constantly working on his craft. What Llamo may lack in height, he sure makes up with his heart and strength. He plays the game hard and gives it 110% every time he steps on the floor and his strength allows him to guard multiple positions on the defensive side of the ball. He is a very smart player who has great court vision and is always looking to get his teammates involved. Llamo also has a quick first step and can get to the rim and finish with both hands, while absorbing contact. He is a tremendous free-throw shooter and if he gets hot, look out because he has unlimited range and shoots the 3-ball at an extremely high-rate.
Ben Cassano
Ben Cassano
Cassano is an up and coming prospect with great size and knowledge of the game. His size, length, and skillset make him a very difficult matchup, where he can take you inside or knock down the outside jumper in your face. He has a simple, smooth jump shot with a high release, making him very difficult to block. He can score on all 3-levels but has developed into a tremendous shooter form behind-the-arc. Cassano is a great two-player who plays the game right. He rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the court and is able to guard every position on the floor. This kid is a rising prospect who should be well-known in the SWFL area.
One of Charlotte’s many talented guards, Attia has shown great strides in his overall game over the past year. He has proven to be an elite scorer who can finish from all 3-levels. He has great handles and can beat you off the dribble or pull up and knock down the contested jump shot. Attia has a beautiful jumper, where he converts at a very-high rate from both the mid-range and behind-the-arc. His basketball IQ is second to none and is a lock-down defender who can turn defense into offense. Attia is a hard worker who’s confidence continues to grow and I see his stock continuing to rise throughout the summer and into next season.
Easley is coming off a great first year at Cypress Lake and has already started to turn some heads this summer. The 6’1″ PG does it all offensively, he has amazing handles and exceptional court vision, making him a true floor general. He is a tremendous passer who looks to get his teammates involved, but can also score in bunches. He has unlimited range and is a very efficient 3-point shooter. Easley is a quick, shifty guard who knows the game, and won’t back down from any assignment or big shot. Easley, who transferred from Minnesota just last year, has already become a well-known name in the SWFL area.
