PH Florida State Tournament — Notable Big Men Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Florida hosted another premier high school basketball event featuring rising talent from the 2024-2028 classes. Saturday's Florida State Tournament provided 20+ AAU teams from 15U-18U a chance to compete against peers and to allow student-athletes to showcase their skills and compete against top talent in front of PH Scouts. Let's get into our Top Prospect Standouts from this weekend's event in Winter Haven, FL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Fillipe Frangie | F | 2026 | Mitchell | @Offical_Fillipe</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Frangie was one of the taller athletes with good technique and balance on Day One. I left impressed with his overall game and ability to rebound and run the floor for his size. If he can work on his mid-range and inside game, I think Frangie can be a problem before graduation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2217909' first='Hendrix' last='Loughridge'] | F | 2025 | Seven Rivers | @hendawg_21</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Loughridge is one of the longer-framed prospects on the list standing around 6-foot-7 with a lengthy wingspan. Loughridge has exerted his height this offseason and has been effective on the boards while deterring layup attempts. He also flashed decent athleticism to finish dunks near the basket as well. When breaking down his game, he's a developing forward product with decent athleticism to help attack rebounds and protect the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jakavious DuBose | F | 2027 | @JakaviousDubose</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DuBose is a big framed and physical forward in the 2027 class who made some noise with team [program_tooltip program_id='2233561' first='904' last='Elite'] this weekend. He's a lengthy product that still has time to add some skill and technique but pure size and effort were all he needed to dominate the competition.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christopher Stoddart | F | 2026 | Mitchell</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stoddart finished as one of the better big-men standouts in his class at the PH Florida Tournament. He's a solid framed kid with a good motor and versatile skills to rack it up in various categories. He's one to keep an eye on heading into the summer period. He should have a much larger role at the prep level this season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christopher Barton | F | 2027&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Barton was a decent big-man standout who deserves some recognition for his play. He has a lot of work to do but is equipped with the tools to develop his game at the forward position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
