Summer Watch: SWFL 2028 Prospects, Second Five

The high school basketball season has come to a close, and players throughout the state are switching gears from their school teams, right into travel ball. From circuit teams to independent programs, tournaments are being held each and every weekend, and there are a number of SWFL prospects who will be lacing them up in hopes of improving their game and seeing their stock rise.    The floor general for Oasis, Barbara, is a smart player who effects the game in a number of ways. The 5'8" PG is a pesky defender with quick feet and quick hands, and who has knack for forcing turnovers and turning defense into offense. Offensively he has no fear when attacking the basket, where he can finish with both hands, and is also a very efficient shooter from behind the arc.     Calixte has tremendous size and length and is an excellent 2-way player. He moves well for a big man and has the ability to guard multiple positions, and creates mismatches both offensively and defensively. He's a presence down low as a shot blocker, and rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the court. Offensively he excels in the post, but also has a soft touch from the outside to counter that with.     Touchette is a long, athletic prospect who continues to improve his game each and every time he steps on the court. His size and athleticism allow him to guard any position on the floor, and he is also a huge asset on the boards. The 6'4" SF can score in the paint and also has the ability to knock down the open jumper. He is a smart player who never takes a play off, and just wants to win.     A strong, physical guard, Williams, has been a huge piece for Labelle over his first 2 years. The 5'9" PG plays well beyond his years, and plays with a lot of energy and emotion. He is a gritty defender who will be in your face for the entire 84 ft., and will never back down from an assignment. Williams has a nice mid-range game, and also has knack for attacking the basket and finishing through contact.     A do-it-all type of player, Rycenga, can beat you in a number of ways. The 6'3" CG has great court vision and looks to get his teammates involved. He has a solid outside shot, but really excels in attacking the paint and finishing around the hoop. Defensively, he can guard multiple positions, and he looks to force turnovers as he likes to get out and run in the transition game.
