At 6 feet, his upside leans heavily on his athletic ability. He moves well, competes physically, and has the kind of activity that lets him impact plays even while his skill set is still developing. The athletic foundation makes him a name worth watching as he continues to reveal more of his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3595377' first='Dan' last='Huckaby'] - Huckaby is a 5'8 guard at Brookland who's already showing comfort in the mid‑range. He likes getting to his pull‑up, finds space inside the arc, and plays with a steady approach that fits both point‑guard and off‑guard minutes. The mid‑range confidence and willingness to play within the flow make him a name worth tracking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3639937' first='Michael' last='Ford'] - Ford is a 5'10 guard for El Dorado who's beginning to show a blend of point‑guard and scoring‑guard traits. He's comfortable handling the ball and can slide off it when needed. As he continues to grow and begins to sharpen his decision‑making, that will help him define which guard spot fits him best long‑term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3163790' first='Markevious' last='Perkins'] - Perkins is a 6'1 athletic, all‑around piece for Earle who's still in the process of finding his true position and long‑term calling on the court. The skill set is still forming, but the activity, mobility, and willingness to do a little bit of everything make him intriguing. As he continues to develop, where he ultimately lands position‑wise will be something to track. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3590275' first='Katrell' last='Bailey'] - Bailey is a 5'11 guard/wing who's just beginning to carve out his identity in the 2029 class. He shows flashes of natural activity that suggest he could grow into a valuable piece over time. With more to find in his game, he's worth tracking as he continues to mature and add skill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3713773' first='Kaedyn' last='Knuckles'] - Knuckles is a 5'10 shooting guard who's already showing comfort hunting outside shots. He's a perimeter piece who likes to space the floor, spot up, and let it fly when he gets clean looks. The willingness to shoot and the confidence to take outside attempts gives him a simple, trackable identity as he grows.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3583252' first='Eli' last='Sanchez'] - Still very early in his development, but Sanchez shows some workable guard tools that make him worth tracking as the 2029 class takes shape. He's a 6-foot perimeter piece who's beginning to settle into the pace of high school basketball. Nothing is fully defined yet, but he's one of the young guards in this group who's starting to make small impressions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
