Travel Team Profile: Nightrydas Elite 16u

The Nightrydas roster is loaded with some of South Florida's top talent in the 2028 and 2029 classes, featuring a group with both high level upside and consistent production. As the EYBL season gets underway, several prospects have already begun to separate themselves as names to know. Here's a look at the top players to watch.    Brooks may be one of the top prospects in the country in the 2029 class and is poised to lead this group in the 16U EYBL division. The freshman is a highly talented, left handed scoring wing with an improved perimeter shot. He combines above average athleticism with good strength and a strong feel for the game, making him a consistent offensive threat with significant upside.     The Pine Crest sophomore is emerging as a clear stock riser in the 2028 class. Jenkins led the Nightrydas in scoring at EYBL Session I, averaging 16.3 points per game. He brings a unique combination of size, length, and athleticism, doing much of his damage attacking the rim, operating in the midrange, and crashing the glass. A versatile defender and willing rebounder on both ends, his production and tools point to a prospect whose recruiting stock should continue to trend upward this offseason.     Coming off another state championship with Sagemont, Sharpe is a 2028 prospect drawing increasing attention from college coaches. A wing with good size, he has a strong feel for the game and plays with confidence and efficiency. An above average athlete, he does most of his damage inside the arc, while also contributing as a rebounder and defender on both ends.     One of the state's leading scorers this season, Mott is a highly skilled wing who can score at all three levels. He is a strong perimeter shooter and has shown clear improvement creating off the dribble. A high academic prospect, he pairs his skill set with a very good feel for the game and better than average athleticism.     The high-scoring guard out of the Jacksonville area, McFadden is a versatile perimeter player capable of playing all three guard spots. He has a high basketball IQ, is comfortable with the ball in his hands, and can operate as a secondary handler. A three level scorer, he continues to improve his consistency from beyond the arc, adding to his overall offensive profile.     Gelin is a playmaking combo guard who led the Nightrydas in assists at EYBL Session I. He has good strength and a high basketball IQ, making sound reads and consistently finding open teammates. A solid shot maker with range, he can score when needed, and while his foot speed is average, he compensates with above average athleticism and overall feel for the game.
