The 2028 class is starting to gain real traction, and this offseason has given a clearer look at who's beginning to separate. These prospects are building momentum heading into the next phase of the travel season.   [player_tooltip player_id='3281290' first='Gavin' last='Gorman'] | G | 2028 | North Broward Prep | @Gavingorman13   At 6-5, Gorman offers intriguing size at the guard spot and is starting to put it together. Starting to gain some traction for his play on social media with travel circuit performances. He's comfortable handling, sees the floor well, and doesn't shy away from contact. As he continues refining his handle and perimeter consistency, he's trending toward a noticeable jump. The tools are there for him to become a mismatch guard long term.   Christopher Roberts | G | 2028 | Parrish Community | @_chrisroberts_   Roberts is one of the more efficient risers in the 2028 class. He helped lead Parrish Community to a 26-4 record and a Regional Final appearance, averaging 12.5 PPG while shooting 53% from the field and 46% from three. Playing with Jet Academy this offseason, his ability to score within the flow, space the floor, and make the right play stands out. He's comfortable playing on or off the ball and doesn't force shots. With offers from Florida State, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State, Jacksonville, and FAMU, Roberts is already on college radars and trending up.   [player_tooltip player_id='3269972' first='Kwasi' last='Appiah'] | F | 2028 | Olympia | @KwasiAppiah91   Appiah brings an athletic presence that immediately stands out. He's at his best in the open floor, running lanes, finishing above the rim, and making plays as a slasher or lob threat. His activity level and ability to impact plays without needing the ball consistently show up. In the half-court, he's showing more comfort creating off the bounce, attacking closeouts, and making reads in traffic. [player_tooltip player_id='3551797' first='Dante' last='Rivers'] | G | 2028 | Parrish Community | @DanteRivers5   Rivers is emerging as one of the more reliable shooters in the class. Competing with [program_tooltip program_id='2863450' first='Tre' last='Mann Elite'], he's been efficient and confident, knocking down shots at a high rate while also showing playmaking flashes. He doesn't force much and understands how to play within the flow, which separates him from a lot of young guards. His ability to space the floor, make simple reads, and capitalize on opportunities makes him a valuable backcourt piece with room to keep growing.   Sebastien Amisial | G | 2028 | Tampa Catholic | @SebAmisial   Amisial plays with confidence and a good understanding of pace. He gets to his spots, takes quality shots, and shows the ability to involve teammates as a secondary creator. He doesn't rush possessions and looks comfortable operating within structure. His balance between scoring and facilitating gives him steady value in the backcourt, and as he continues to assert himself more offensively, his impact should continue to grow.   [player_tooltip player_id='2195022' first='Jaiden' last='Martin'] | G | 2028 | Winthrop | @JaidenMartin11   Martin's scoring confidence has taken a step forward this offseason. He's shifty with the ball, navigates defenders well, and consistently finds ways to create clean looks. He's playing with more control while still staying aggressive, which has helped his efficiency. With improved shot selection and growing comfort as a primary option, he's becoming a tough cover.

The 2028 class is starting to gain real traction, and this offseason has given a clearer look at who's beginning to separate. These prospects are building momentum heading into the next phase of the travel season.
