Under the Radar Prospects Making Early Preseason Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zack Harrington | F | 2026 | Mitchell | @zack7harrington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harrington's 6-6 frame and inside-out versatility have already shown up in Mitchell's first two preseason outings. He's scoring efficiently around the rim, competing on the glass, and providing strong weak-side rim protection. With opening performances of 18/7/3 blocks and 17/13/3 blocks, he's giving his team energy, toughness, and early-season momentum. A breakout candidate trending upward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brandon Grow | G | 2027 | Lake Highland Prep | @BrandonGro86726</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grow one of the underrated smooth shot-makers in the Central Florida are. He led all scorers with 19 points in LHP's recent win, showcasing his mechanics, footwork, and ability to get clean looks off movement. At 6-2, 175 pounds, he has the frame and shooting confidence to be a long-term weapon in LHP's perimeter attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kaiden Jones | G | 2026 | Process Academy | @kaidenjones0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones plays with a steady floor-general approach but shifts gears quickly when it's time to score. The lefty is a reliable shooter from deep and uses his quickness to compensate for a thinner frame. His blend of pace, timing, and shot-making makes him a dual-threat guard who fits well in Process Academy's system.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2638083' first='Marcus' last='Chapman'] | G | 2026 | Crestview | @Reapersc0res</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chapman is a hyper-athletic guard with a motor that never shuts off. At just 6-0, he's finishing windmills in transition and changing games with his explosiveness. Defensively, he disrupts actions, creates turnovers, and immediately converts them into offense. With his work ethic and intangibles, he's poised to be a much-needed senior spark for Crestview.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>De'Vonte Spears | G | 2026 | Chamberlain | @iamvontespears0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last game: 10 PTS | 7 AST | 4 REB | 3 STL | 3 BLK | 6/6 FT</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Spears is a 6-1 guard built on speed, confidence, and aggression. He attacks off the bounce, finishes through contact, and punishes defenders who give him space on the perimeter. His length and energy make him an active defender, and his preseason opener backed it up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
