<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2397003' first='Travis' last='Chin'] | PG | 2026 | @TravisChin2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chin is a tough cover—shifty, confident, and skilled off the bounce. He can shoot off the dribble, finish through traffic, and hounds opposing guards with full-court pressure. Plays with grit and brings it on both ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ethan Jeanlouis | F | 2027 | Coral Glades | @itsEthanjl</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Standing 6-7 with a strong frame, Jeanlouis is just scratching the surface. He's made steady strides every game and is trending toward a major breakout junior season. Coaches should lock in now—this one's only going to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Alexander DiPaolo | ATH | 2026 | Florida Christian Academy | @alexdipaolo8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Versatile, 6-5 wing with a polished feel. DiPaolo scores at all three levels and defends multiple spots. He's a glue guy who can be a go-to scorer, and his two-way presence makes him a valuable target for next-level programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1666849' first='Jack' last='London'] | F | 2026 | Community School of Naples | @Jackl_158</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>London brings size (6-6), bounce and ball skills. He's active on the boards, tough around the rim, and has shown signs of developing perimeter range. Forward with upside who's refining his offensive toolkit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Donovan Swain | G | 2027 | Coral Glades | @1of1donovan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the faster-rising 2027 guards. Swain scores in bunches and does it with confidence. He's earned respect on the 16U circuit and deserves more national eyes. Dynamic shot-creator with a fearless motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Michael Underwood | G | 2027 | Paxon | @Top1shiftyy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Has been playing with solid poise and upside.&nbsp; Underwood is a high-IQ floor general who plays with pace and purpose. He breaks down defenses, makes the right reads, and doesn't get rattled. Pure handle, smooth shot and a tone-setting 94-foot defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pether Castro Castillo | G | 2027 | @CastroPether21</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plays with energy and IQ. Castillo can get buckets, but his passing and defensive activity were even more impressive. He sees the floor well, gets teammates involved and brings nonstop effort on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
