<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299651' first='Deandre' last='Harvey'] | G | 2026 | The Rock School |<a href="https://twitter.com/deeharv_5"><strong> </strong><strong>@deeharv_5</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harvey is a two-way spark. The 6-3 guard has shown off his athleticism by finishing above the rim and locking down opposing guards. His improved ball-handling and perimeter shooting only add to his upside. Trending upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1542328' first='Kymani' last='Weathers'] | F | 2026 | TVC |<a href="https://twitter.com/KymaniWeathers"><strong> </strong><strong>@KymaniWeathers</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weathers continues to anchor the paint with physicality and a high motor. He scores consistently around the rim, knocks down some jumpers, and defends multiple spots. A matchup problem who plays hard and doesn't back down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jacob Pleyer | G | 2026 | The Rock |<a href="https://twitter.com/PleyerJacob"><strong> </strong><strong>@PleyerJacob</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pleyer has made an real impact since arriving from Michigan. He brings a high IQ, vocal leadership, and a strong defensive mindset. As he improves physically and sharpens his outside shot, his recruitment should gain traction.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2299658' first='Marvin' last='Christie'] | G | 2026 |<a href="https://twitter.com/_m4rv"><strong> </strong><strong>@_m4rv</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Christie has had one of the better scoring stretches. The 6-2 guard is skilled at creating his own shot, knocking down jumpers, and attacking the paint with control. His confidence and versatility continue to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Marcus Williams | G | 2026 | Process Academy |<a href="https://twitter.com/_mwilliams2"><strong> </strong><strong>@_mwilliams2</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plays with tempo and IQ. Williams makes the right reads, relocates without the ball, and has shown consistent shot-making. Whether it's setting up teammates or hitting the open look, his game has taken a clear step forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2522717' first='Cordarius' last='White'] | G | 2026 | Gainesville |<a href="https://twitter.com/WhiteCordarius"><strong> </strong><strong>@WhiteCordarius</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>White is a gritty, high-energy combo guard who does the little things well. He rebounds outside his area, defends with purpose, and can score from multiple levels. A physical presence who shows flashes of being a complete player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2522557' first='Ethan' last='Diaz'] | F | 2026 | Oviedo |<a href="https://twitter.com/ethanGd15"><strong> </strong><strong>@ethanGd15</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-8, Diaz is evolving into a more versatile weapon. He's putting the ball on the floor, hitting midrange jumpers, and rebounding at a high rate. If his offensive polish continues to grow, his upside becomes hard to ignore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Derick Augustine | G | 2026 | Cornerstone Charter |<a href="https://twitter.com/bucket_derick"><strong> </strong><strong>@bucket_derick</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Augustine brings that edge. He's been piling up points all spring and summer with aggressive scoring and a downhill mentality. Always in attack mode and rarely takes plays off — a true competitor with something to prove.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Torre Washington | W | 2028 |<a href="https://twitter.com/TorreWashingto2"><strong> </strong><strong>@TorreWashingto2</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the more intriguing 2028s out there. Washington, a long 6-5 wing, who plays with poise beyond his years. He hits contested shots, defends multiple positions, and scores with touch. Strong motor with smooth mechanics, he's a future problem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1660061' first='Samuel' last='Cano'] | G | 2026 | North Broward Prep |<a href="https://twitter.com/__sam2414"><strong> </strong><strong>@__sam2414</strong></a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cano has real two-way value. At 6-5, he guards up and down the lineup, reads passing lanes, and gets to the line with physical drives. He's becoming a dependable piece with positional size and all-around production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
