<p class="text-gray-700">The junior is a skilled ball handling guard with good length and a frame that suggests additional growth. His greatest strength is his perimeter shot making ability, but he also has excellent command of the basketball, changes speeds effectively and can finish in the paint over length and athleticism.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Whipple II continues to build on a strong offseason after first catching our attention in June. A creative combo guard with the ball in his hands, he is a capable perimeter shot maker who also demonstrated the ability to create his own offense in the midrange. He is a willing passer with a versatile offensive skill set and remains a prospect to watch in the 2028 recruiting class.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hollingsworth is a high academic senior combo guard with the versatility to play with or without the ball in his hands. He has a high basketball IQ, moves well without the ball and understands how to find openings against the defense. A capable open perimeter shot maker, Hollingstworth is a prospect to watch this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Smith is a long, lean combo guard who showcased his perimeter shot making ability and creativity finishing in the paint. He attacks the basket effectively, draws contact and gets to the free throw line. He also handles the ball well enough to serve as a secondary ball handler against defensive pressure.</p>
