Dropping a jaw-dropping 46 points in an OT thriller against Gulliver Prep, Harris has put the nation on notice. His ability to score at all three levels combined with his veteran-like poise makes him a “walking bucket.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2800137' first='Sam' last='Powell'] | 6-4 | SG | Golden Gate | 2026 | @SamPowell239</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 23.8 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powell, a dual-sport standout, has transitioned his athleticism and IQ into basketball success. Back-to-back 35-point performances secured him the No. 2 scoring spot in 5A. His physicality and leadership make him an intriguing multi-sport prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>James Tillman | 6-0 | CG | Atlantic | 2025 | @cxmp_mr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 22.6 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lethal shooter from NBA range, Tillman is a lights-out scorer who can get hot off the dribble or spot-up. His scrappy rebounding and ability to extend possessions make him an all-around weapon for Atlantic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633099' first='Isaiah' last='Newson'] | 6-1 | PG | North Fort Myers | 2026 | @zay_Boe561</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 22.2 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Newson hasn't skipped a beat after his stellar sophomore season.

His effective pull-up jumper and ability to shoot from deep make him a balanced scorer. Despite his smaller size, Morris uses his strength and quickness to attack the rim and create opportunities for himself and his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Isaiah Bundrage | 6-3 | CG | Chiles | 2025 | @Isaiahbundrage</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 21.5 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bundrage is a two-way guard who thrives without needing the ball in his hands. His off-ball movement and spot-up shooting make him a dangerous offensive threat, while his defensive athleticism allows him to force turnovers and contest shots effectively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Carter Padags | 6-3 | CG | Countryside | 2025 | @Carterpadags</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 19.6 PPG, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Padags is a high-IQ scorer and reliable shooter, particularly from deep. His impressive season-opening performance highlighted his ability to contribute across multiple areas of the game. Coaches value his consistent scoring and ability to complement any offensive scheme.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Corey Perlin | 6-1 | G | Countryside | 2025 | @CoreyPerlin2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 18.6 PPG&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perlin's physicality and poise set him apart as a top 5A guard prospect. Known for his toughness and ability to control the tempo, he is equally skilled at knocking down outside shots and attacking the rim. Perlin's leadership and consistency make him a rising name to watch for college programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2800180' first='Gabe' last='Parks'] | 6-2 | CG | Chiles | 2026 | @GabrielParks26</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 17.9 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A consistent young shooter, Parks has worked hard to elevate his game, and the results are showing. His scoring ability and overall work ethic make him a player to keep an eye on as the season progresses. Respect to this kid and his work ethic and motivation to put a spotlight on his talents.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>David Allen | 6-3 | CG | Sebring | 2025 | @Dav1drh</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 17.9 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allen has emerged as a reliable scorer for Sebring.

His three-point range and hustle play on both ends of the court make him a valuable asset. Flach's defensive instincts and rebounding ability add to his all-around impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194948' first='Anquan' last='Polynice'] | 5-7 | PG | Southeast | 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats: 15.7 PPG</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite his smaller frame, Polynice is a crafty playmaker with a quick first step.
