[player_tooltip player_id='1633082' first='Toby' last='Lane'] | G | Santa Fe Catholic | @TobyLane2026   Lane plays with heart and high IQ—his size doesn't limit him one bit. He controls the pace, sees the floor well, and keeps defenders honest with a smooth jumper. Whether it's off the pivot or attacking off two feet, Lane finds crafty ways to score or set up others. Really starting to create traction around his name this offseason.    [player_tooltip player_id='2114484' first='Diego' last='Brito'] | G | Montverde Academy | @TheRealDBrito07   Brito continues to benefit from Montverde's structure, evolving into a poised leader who impacts the game on both ends. He's a strong on-ball defender, vocal floor general, and smart shot creator. When the moment gets big, Brito gets better.   Jredyn Bufford | F | Crestview | @jrehoops2026   Bufford has been consistent as a top scorer for Crestview, and now he's stepping into a more complete role. He's adding layers to his game each month—becoming more confident, more physical, and more impactful as a two-way forward.   Sohan Alla | CG | Tampa Catholic | @Sohan_alla   Alla is quietly building momentum this offseason. A true combo guard who can score at all three levels and facilitate offense, he's starting to catch more eyes with his feel, creativity, and ability to make plays in tight moments.   Xavier Perez | F | Lake Nona | @xavierperez_5   Perez is gaining traction thanks to his physical tools—6-6, 190 with bounce and rim protection ability. He defends with energy, finishes strong around the cup, and is beginning to show more consistency on offense. A big senior season could push him into legit college conversations.
