<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2809434' first='Rowan' last='Hoffman'] | F | Pinecrest | 2026 | @RowanHoffman</strong>2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-7, Hoffman continues to profile as a reliable floor-spacer with a mature approach. He rebounds in volume, competes defensively, and brings the academic resume that fits Patriot/Ivy recruiting. With an expanded role this season, expect his production — and attention — to climb in Fort Lauderdale.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2415597' first='Kaii' last='Levy'] | F | 2026 | Tampa Prep | @KaiiL3vy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the more productive rebounders in the class, Levy averaged double-digit boards while consistently stacking double-doubles. At 6-5, he plays with effort, physicality, and mobility, allowing him to secure extra possessions and protect the paint. Continued growth offensively raises his ceiling as a versatile frontcourt piece.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2406961' first='Ryan' last='Baxley'] | G | 2026 | North Broward Prep | @RyanBaxley2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baxley impressed as a timely shot-maker who elevates in high-pressure situations. He stretches defenses with clean perimeter mechanics and can create off the bounce. As his on-ball responsibilities expand, expect more playmaking flashes and a rising profile among 2026 guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2209095' first='Ryan' last='Turner'] | G | 2026 | Fleming Island | @ryan080224</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Turner plays with pace and explosiveness, attacking gaps with downhill pressure and finishing above the rim. He has the pull-up range to keep defenders honest and uses his length to disrupt passing lanes defensively. One of North Florida's more exciting two-way risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2809442' first='Messiah' last='McKinley'] | SF | 2026 | Brandon | @MessiahMcKinley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McKinley's multi-sport athleticism pops on film. He runs the floor, cleans up plays at the rim, and brings consistent energy defensively. As the offensive polish continues to develop — particularly handle and shot creation — his trajectory remains trending up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Caleb Corbitt | F | 2026 | Blanche Ely | @CorbittKaleb</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corbitt flashed strong two-way tools last weekend with advanced footwork, touch inside 10 feet, and vision out of the post. His length and lateral mobility allow him to contest everything around the rim while generating deflections. A strong long-term piece with genuine developmental upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1891196' first='Kareem' last='Preston'] | G | 2026 | Menendez | @KareemPrestonJr</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Preston stands out for his composure and pace as a lead guard. He changes speeds effectively, absorbs contact, and makes reads while on the move. The scoring punch continues to sharpen, and the production is beginning to match the flashes. Trending toward a strong junior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
