<p>We all know that Houston is a major metro city for high school basketball and is no stranger to having teams build winning programs year after year at the varsity level. Many teams from the Greater Houston scene make it to regional, area, and even state every season and get a chance to showcase their talent. Let's take a look at some of the top guards in the city and who colleges should be keeping a close eye on. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bryson is now attending CE King High School for this upcoming Fall 2025 basketball season. He had a big year for the Summer Creek Bulldogs last year and proved himself to be a high-level prospect. He runs the floor efficiently, distributing and scoring in transition as well as being able to get a bucket in isolation whenever his team needs a quick set of points. Wheatfall draws fouls at a high rate and can use his skillset under the rim or on the perimeter. Bryson currently holds offers from Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Montana State, Massachusetts-Amherst, LSU, and TCU. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Elijah is a must-watch guard for colleges with his size and fluidity when he steps on the court. His game can translate to all levels, and he really knows how to score the rock. Sherwood can lock up on defense full court, crash the paint for rebounds, and be a very solid scorer even when he is contested closely by defense. I've been keeping an eye on Elijah since last summer and in the span of a year, he has greatly improved his chances of playing high level college basketball. Sherwood currently has interest from Colorado College and Texas Lutheran University. Coaches, invest now!!!! </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The part I like the most about watching Jones-Bynum in action is his playmaking and floor general IQ. He can masterfully control the tempo of the offense and set the pace of the game to the advantage for his team, as well as getting teammates open looks. He has good fundamental defense, constantly able to frustrate his matchup and play the passing lanes for easy steals and fastbreak points. Prince is also very good at being the hustle player that his team needs at all times, willing to put his body on the line to secure loose balls and get second chance rebounds. Look for his stock to rise quickly and colleges to start watching this upcoming 2024-2025 season. Prince has no offers at the moment but has visited Sam Houston State and Texas State. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">John is a talented 2025 guard with a lot of upside potential going into this season and his most impressive attribute to me is his physical defense and ability to guard the best player on the court. Multiple times over the summer, he was matched up with taller quicker guards and he held his own. Laboy also can score the ball and finish tough layups through contact as well as possessing a filthy midrange jumper. John currently holds offers from UC Riverside, Jacksonville, LA Tech, Texas State, and FIU and has interest from Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Seattle, and North Texas. </p>
