Notable Guards Need More Attention

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1588185' first='Brendan' last='Slack'] | G | 2026 | @brendan_slack</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Slack is a name Florida fans will be hearing more of, even though much of his work has come up north. He's a ball dominant prospect with a nice frame and wingspan to be a problem on defense as well. With his recent kind of production, it's hard to imagine colleges not taking notice soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633105' first='Ajani' last='Chang'] | G | 2026 | Morningside Academy | @Aj5for3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morningside leaned heavily on Chang this past season, and he delivered. The 5-10 guard averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 assists, and added six boards a night, all while breaking his school's all-time scoring record. He's quick, competitive, and thrives in the moments that matter most. His leadership and two-way impact make him a guard that can shift a program's energy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2872908' first='Roy' last='Berry'] | G | 2026 | Pathways | @royberryyy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Berry brings a mix of flash and grit. He can blow by defenders, make plays at the rim, and set the tone defensively with his energy. He even made noise finishing second in a shooting competition, showing his versatility as a scorer. Still waiting on the right college fit, but it won't be long if he keeps producing like this.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2737288' first='Trevor' last='Miller'] | PG | 2027 | @TMiller2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller is a younger name worth tracking, showing polish beyond his years. At 6-1, he's got a confident jumper that translates in both high school and AAU settings. A natural shot-maker who competes hard on both ends, he's positioning himself as one of the stronger 2027 guards in the region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2844621' first='Jaiel' last='Soto'] | G | 2026 | Northeast | @jellorare1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Soto has built a reputation on work ethic and consistency. He's a natural scorer who doesn't need much space to get buckets, and his competitiveness jumps off the floor. Coaches looking for a reliable guard in the 2026 class should have Soto circled heading into the new season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Xavier Martin | G | 2026 | @XavierMartin_4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martin is one of those guards who can create offense in tight spots. At 6-0, he thrives in isolation situations, showing a reliable handle and solid outside stroke. He's still carving out his spot, but his skill set makes him a tough cover and an intriguing watch as the season approaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
