<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The #GBCALive event brought together top-tier talent from across the Southeast, and Florida teams made sure their presence was felt, competing at a high level and backing down from no one. The Sunshine State was well represented, and several prospects from the region stood out with their skill, effort, and upside. Here is a breakdown of some of the top Florida performers from the event…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894616,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Quincy-Douby-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Quincy-Douby-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894616" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Quincy Douby</strong> (6'4/CG/2027/Riviera) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Quincydoubyjr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @QD_Jr5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Quincy was a clear stock-riser at #GBCALive. He consistently created separation with an explosive first step and was a serious problem in isolation situations. His craftiness off the bounce and ability to finish in a variety of ways around the rim were on full display. Whether playing on or off the ball, he used his speed and quickness to create offensive opportunities. Defensively, his length helped him contain skilled guards, and one of his most underrated attributes was his rebounding, which he did good job high-pointing the ball which in turn sparked transition. With a high basketball IQ and a growing offensive bag, Quincy showed he is one of the more complete guards in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894617,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-RJ-Ingram-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-RJ-Ingram-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894617" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>RJ Ingram</strong> (6'3/PG/2026/Lake Highland Prep) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: r_trae55</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Rtrae3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">RJ is a lead guard who impacted the game on both ends of the floor. His upper body strength helped him attack downhill with force while absorbing contact and finishing through it. He navigated defensive pressure with poise, created space for himself, and made smart reads in traffic. He also impressed with his athleticism on the boards and his defensive activity, particularly with his on-ball pressure. His leadership and two-way presence set the tone for his team all weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894618,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Kade-Manley-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Kade-Manley-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894618" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396988' first='Kade' last='Manley']</strong> (6'0/SG/2027/Mainland) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Ka.de08</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Kademanley2027&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kade is a skilled off-guard with a deep scoring bag. He is a tough shot-maker who thrives off the bounce and knows how to create space with quick bursts and shifty moves. In the paint, he is crafty, as he is able to finish with floaters, runners, or off two feet, depending on the situation. He has the ability to play either guard spot, but he is at his best when he is in scoring mode. His ability to read the floor and make timely passes is a bonus, but make no mistake: he is wired to get buckets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894619,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Kymani-Weathers-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Kymani-Weathers-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894619" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1542328' first='Kymani' last='Weathers']</strong> (6'8/PF|C/2026/The Villages Charter High School) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Kmoney730</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @KymaniWeathers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kymani was a dominant interior presence throughout the weekend. He showed his touch from the perimeter by knocking down a couple of threes, but his bread and butter was in the paint, finishing around the rim, sealing for position, and crashing the glass. Defensively, he is switchable across multiple positions and anchors the paint with his presence and energy. His willingness to battle, rebound, and defend makes him a cornerstone piece for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894620,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Drake-Sandi-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Drake-Sandi-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894620" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660055' first='Drake' last='Sandi']&nbsp;</strong>(6'2/PG/'26/St. Thomas Aquinas)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _djsandi</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @_DJSandi</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Drake continues to add polish to his game every time he steps on the court. His poise, command of the offense, and ability to lead stood out in a crowded field. He attacked downhill with confidence and fearlessness, often getting into the lane and making strong decisions in traffic. He played with maturity, slowing the game down when needed and speeding it up when it benefited his team. He was one of the most composed and complete guards at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2894621,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Aaron-Britt-Jr.-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/PH-Aaron-Britt-Jr.-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2894621" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194383' first='Aaron' last='Britt'], Jr.</strong> (6'2/PG/'27/The Villages Charter School)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: aaronbrittjr</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @aaronbrittjr3</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Aaron is a high-motor, high-impact guard who plays with a mix of creativity, toughness, and athleticism. He thrives in transition, where his burst and court vision allow him to direct traffic or finish at the rim. He is creative with the ball in his hands, whether it is with crafty passes, self-created shots, or floaters at the rim. He draws fouls, finishes through contact, and consistently puts pressure on opposing defenses. Add in his defensive instincts and high basketball IQ, and you've got one of the more complete two-way guards in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660049' first='Christian' last='Yeargin']</strong> (6'4/Wing/'26/Stranahan)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @christianyearg1</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Christian brought toughness and energy on both ends of the floor. With great positional size and a relentless motor, he consistently attacked the basket and finished through contact. He showed flashes as a multi-level scorer but was most effective when slashing downhill and converting at the rim. Defensively, he used his size, anticipation, and lateral quickness to be a disruptive on-ball defender, particularly in space. He was one of the hardest-playing prospects of the weekend and made winning plays across the board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
