<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396983' first='Julian' last='Fox'] | CG | 2027 | @JulianFox228201</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fox continues to trend upward as one of Central Florida's more intriguing young guards. At 6-4, he brings length, poise, and a smooth scoring game that stretches across all three levels. He competes with a calm approach, shoots it with confidence, and has the IQ to make reads when defenses overcommit. Fox is still early in his development, but his all-around polish and size give him serious long-term value.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2217915' first='Jayden' last='Aristile'] | G | 2026 | Lake Mary | @iayden7</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Aristile plays fast and downhill with no wasted motion. The 2026 guard brings real burst off the dribble and a fearless approach when attacking the rim. He's flashed a smooth pull-up game and has grown more comfortable playing through contact. As his three-ball becomes a reliable weapon, he's going to be a real problem in the backcourt.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125502' first='Miles' last='Morrell'] | G | 2027 | VCA | @MilesMorrell0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morrell plays with heart and determination as a shot-creator and facilitator. His deep range makes defenses stretch out, but he's at his best when breaking them down with pace and purpose. Morrell is a pass-first guard with an understanding of space, angles, and tempo. You won't find many 2027s who run an offense with his composure and feel.</p>

<p><strong>Dylan Foster | G | 2026 | Edgewater | @dylan1foster</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Foster continues to build a case as one of the more solid rising all-around guards in Central Florida's 2026 class. At 6-3, he's a strong ball-screen scorer who knows how to use pace and change direction. He dropped 17 points, 4 assists, and 4 boards this weekend, playing with balance and control from either guard spot.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2632102' first='Eli' last='Wilson'] | G | 2026 | Mitchell | @EliWilson_0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wilson's offensive leap this spring has been hard to miss. With PSB, he's taken on more responsibility—and delivered. He scores off movement, reads closeouts, and finishes in the midrange with floaters and pull-ups. He's not flashy, but he's efficient and smart, and he doesn't need the ball long to get a quality look.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194663' first='Steven' last='Carter'] | G | 2028 | Bradford | @StevenCCarter23</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Carter continues to do the little things that help teams win. Whether it's talking on defense, making the extra pass, or finishing in the lane, he finds a way to contribute. His all-around approach, vocal presence, and willingness to work make him an early standout from the 2028 group.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2870917' first='Jaden' last='Nicholson'] | G | 2028 |<a href="https://twitter.com/Jadentnicholson"><strong> </strong><strong>@Jadentnicholson</strong></a></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nicholson is a 6-3 guard who turned heads this weekend with his smooth scoring ability. He's starting to separate himself as a rising 2028 name to track, thanks to his shot-making and feel for the game. He moves well without the ball, picks his moments, and doesn't force the issue. </p>

<p><strong>14U Risers</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Junior Fernandez</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fernandez plays with the mindset of a go-to scorer. He looks to attack early, isn't shy about creating off the bounce, and finishes strong around the rim. His confidence and rhythm are coming together quickly, giving his team a consistent offensive spark.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Dylan Lemoine</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lemoine gives real presence inside for his age. Big-bodied with a willingness to mix it up in the paint, he set screens, finished through contact, and competed hard on the glass. His physicality stood out against smaller matchups.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Nolan King</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>King played like a natural point guard—controlling tempo, communicating with teammates, and getting into the teeth of the defense. He doesn't shy away from contact and brings grit on the defensive end, too. A tone-setter for his group.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Joe Morales</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morales thrives in a fast-paced setting. He pushes in transition, attacks defenders with quick bursts, and can throw flashy passes when needed. There's a spark to his game that, when focused, brings energy and production.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Sebastian John Charles</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Charles came in off the bench and instantly raised the intensity. He scored near the rim, played hard-nosed defense, and gave consistent two-way effort. Every team needs a guy like him—he plays with toughness and never takes a play off.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Anton Oskarsson</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Oskarsson was a reliable piece throughout the weekend. Knocked down shots, moved without the ball, and always made the extra effort defensively. He doesn't need the ball to make an impact—and those guys always find minutes.</p>
