<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3571520' first='Connor' last='Lilly'] - Lilly brings floor‑spacing value with a confident perimeter stroke. His ability to stay ready, relocate, and knock down shots gives him a clear path to early minutes, and that shooting gravity should make him a natural fit as a key rotation piece after his freshman season.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2986720' first='Jasyd' last='Boone'] - Boone's blend of size, mobility, and interior versatility makes him one of the more projectable pieces in the group. He can defend multiple spots, finish around the rim, and impact possessions consistently in different ways. As his offensive polish grows, he profiles as a reliable future starter with two‑way value.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2819659' first='Kristian' last='Williams'] - Williams' hybrid skillset gives him plug‑and‑play upside. He can handle, initiate, defend wings, and slide between roles depending on lineup needs. That flexibility, paired with his growing instincts and feel, should translate into a major role once he settles into the speed and physicality of high school varsity play.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3141582' first='Jack' last='Kell'] - Kell is a strong, high-IQ guard who plays the game the right way. He makes smart decisions, competes defensively, and brings an all‑around approach that coaches can trust. His combination of strength, IQ, and reliability makes him a strong candidate to become a starter or heavy‑usage rotation guard, even in year one.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3576201' first='Jaxson' last='Young'] - Young's athleticism stands out immediately. He covers ground, finishes acrobatically at the rim, and has the frame to become a multi‑level defender. As his skill catches up to his physical gifts, he projects as a high‑impact wing who can anchor a starting lineup.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2827972' first='Landan' last='Goodwin'] - Goodwin's quickness and shiftiness give him scoring options. He gets downhill, creates separation, and applies pressure to defenses with his handle. With continued growth in decision‑making and shot selection, he's on track to become a dynamic offensive piece and major contributor.</p>
