<p>This weekend's Expo at the Seminole Sports Complex provided a solid platform for 2026 and 2027 prospects to compete and showcase their growth. The event featured a mix of familiar names and new faces looking to earn recognition ahead of the season. Here's a look at several players who made the most of their reps during drills, 3v3s, and 5v5 action.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Team 2</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2889672' first='Diomar' last='Ortiz'] (273) | G | Poinciana | @OrtizDiomar_</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ortiz showed impressive confidence early, hitting tough pull-ups with a hand in his face. A smart, steady guard with sneaky athleticism, he competed defensively and found creative ways to score at the rim during 3v3s. His IQ and motor stood out throughout the day.</p>

<p><strong>Zander Sthol (247) | CG | 2027 | First Baptist Academy | @ZStohl13</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sthol impressed with multiple strong takes to the basket, finishing through contact and even over bigger defenders. He's physical, active on both ends, and sneaky athletic with quick defensive hands. A gritty, all-effort guard who doesn't shy from competition.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2396983' first='Julian' last='Fox'] (293) | CG | 2027 | Edgewater | @JulianFox228201</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fox was in rhythm from the start—knocking down shots in 3v3 play, crashing the glass, and finishing through traffic. At 6-4, he brings a complete skill set: handles, size, shooting, and physicality. One of the more polished all-around guards at the event and a name college coaches need to know.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Team 3</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2398812' first='Matthew' last='Badilla Vidal'] (295) | F | 2027 | Poinciana | @Matthew_BV16</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The tallest player in the gym used his size to protect the paint and alter shots. Showed flashes of mobility defending smaller players and some touch in the post. Once he adds more strength, he could become a more dominant interior presence.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125502' first='Miles' last='Morrell'] (239) | G | 2027 | VCA | @MilesMorrell0</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morrell was automatic from deep—arguably the top shooter of the day. Showed poise, great handle, and control while mixing in floaters with both hands. His quick release and floor awareness make him more than just a shooter; he's a complete guard who elevates those around him.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2978502' first='Jayce' last='Loggins'] (271) | </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most physical and athletic players in the gym. Loggins attacked the glass, finished strong around the rim, and showed he can knock down the three. His consistent effort and energy on both ends made him one of the better hustlers at the event.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Team 8</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1633109' first='Tekelvin' last='Jackson'] (276) | CG | 2026 | North Marion | @TekelvinJackson</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jackson continues to trend upward as an athletic, fluid scorer with real versatility. He worked well off screens, knocked down shots from deep, and crashed the boards hard. Once he got rolling in 5v5 play, he looked like a true bucket-getter with upside.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2974236' first='Harvey' last='Morris'] (244) | G | 2027 | Poinciana </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Morris made his mark through effort and hustle. A strong driver who competes hard defensively, he showed touch around the basket and proved he can hit from outside. Brings a consistent energy that every team needs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Tyler Murray (275) | CG | 2027 | Newsome | @tylermu11171025</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Murray flashed real promise with his length, vision, and unselfish play. The lefty hit shots from deep, finished through contact, and made smart reads in transition. As his confidence grows, so does his impact—definitely one to keep tracking.<br></p>
