<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1582446' first='Amari' last='Cummings'] | G | 2026 | Bishop Synder | @CummingsAmari</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A fast-rising 2026 guard that can handle the rock, shoot a reliable jumper, and provide solid defensive effort with the 6-4 frame. Cummings is picking up traction on the recruiting trail following an early verbal offer from Kent State.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660030' first='Herly' last='Brutus'] | G | 2026 | Umatilla | @HerlyBrutus</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talk about a stat sheet stuffer. This kid is having an incredible production year where he's leading the team in almost every major stat category. The 6-7 sophomore wing product has all the tools to develop into a Real Deal Division I prospect. He currently holds a single D1 offer from Jacksonville University. Brutus is a solid frame forward with developing ball skills on the offensive side and can rim protect well on the defensive end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2134660' first='Kevin' last='Thomas'] | F | 2026 | Sagemont | @_kevinthomas1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talk about being slept on and under the radar. College coaches, this kid is 6-7 versatile basketball player that has shown development from year one to now. Not sure how these types of kids continue to not be recruited by smaller schools in the backyard. Thomas is an athletic ball player with a developing jump shot and a long frame that coaches can work with. Plenty of time to add weight to his frame but doesn't play soft now anyway. Going to keep my eyes on his progression to provide updates for readers and coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299674' first='Thok' last='Gol'] | F | 2026 | Victory Christian | @thok_Gol</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the premier Florida prospects that you will soon know is rising sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299674' first='Thok' last='Gol']</strong> . The kid stands at nearly 6-8 with long arms and solid footwork to stay fluid with the size. He came over to Victory with head coach Steve Fitzgerald who is in the process of transforming Gol into a college-ready recruit. He's making it happen on his own with some impressive offseason performances. We will provide updates on his overall progression and recruitment.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396984' first='Jomar' last='Bernard'] | PG | 2027 | The Villages | @Jomar_Bernard9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Villages basketball program has a rising star in sophomore guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396984' first='Jomar' last='Bernard']</strong>who has caught the attention of onlookers this summer period.
