2021 Rankings
Here is a look at some of the biggest stock risers from the 2021 class here in the Sunshine State.
Kevin Miller Kevin Miller 5'10" | PG Victory Rock | 2021 State FL Ι 5-9 Ι Victory Rock
For Kevin “Boopie” Miller, he really doesn’t care that he’s an undersized guard. He uses that to his advantage with his seasoned offensive game and true toughness. Miller is a lightning bolt on the open floor and someone who makes everyone around him better on each possession. DePaul and Illinois-Chicago have both offered and I see other programs reaching out in short time.
Chris Walker Chris Walker 6'6" | SG Wellington | 2021 State FL Ι 6-5 Ι Wellington
This has been a very steady spring and summer for Chris Walker Chris Walker 6'6" | SG Wellington | 2021 State FL . The Wellington guard has filled out his lengthy frame and continued to take on contact as an attacker. He scores inside often and earns trips to the free throw line plenty. His shot is smooth and his scoring ability is clear. Rider represents his lone offer and I expect plenty more to come here this season.
Ezra McKenna Ezra McKenna 6'6" | SF Choctaw | 2021 State FL Ι 6-5 Ι Choctaw
Earning an offer from Air Force earlier this week, Ezra McKenna Ezra McKenna 6'6" | SF Choctaw | 2021 State FL is certainly on his way. He is a talented shooter and had a ton of bright moments last season for Choctaw. He is a major piece to the team’s success and I expect him to continue to score in bunches with his length, reliable jumper and overall craftiness.
Dylan Canoville Dylan Canoville 6'5" | SF Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2021 State FL Ι 6-5 Ι Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian
You won’t see many players like Dylan Canoville Dylan Canoville 6'5" | SF Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2021 State FL on the basketball court. He certainly has the look of a football player, perhaps a linebacker or defensive end. With his pure speed, strength and overall grittiness, he is a nice fit for a deep Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian program. Canoville should be a steady presence.
Bobby Stewart Bobby Stewart 6'8" | C St. Andrew's | 2021 State FL Ι 6-8 Ι St. Andrew’s
There aren’t many guys with the size of Bobby Stewart Bobby Stewart 6'8" | C St. Andrew's | 2021 State FL that can shoot the rock the way he does. He has a very impressive outside touch and he can hold his own as a finisher and defender. Stewart always battles and is a constant hustler on both ends of the floor. He will give St. Andrew’s another big to lean on after transferring over from Boca Raton.
Lovenson Xavier Lovenson Xavier 6'2" | CG Community School | 2021 State FL & Ryker Vance Ryker Vance 6'6" | PF Community School of Naples | 2021 State FL Ι Community School of Naples
Community School of Naples has a 2021 pair that plays well together in Lovenson Xavier Lovenson Xavier 6'2" | CG Community School | 2021 State FL and Ryker Vance Ryker Vance 6'6" | PF Community School of Naples | 2021 State FL . Xavier is a 6-2 guard who is strong, confident and has a nice outside jumper. He is always in control of the offense and is a determined leader. Vance, a 6-6 forward continues to bump his value as an inside slasher and shot blocker. He does all the little things that go unnoticed on the stat sheet. Both players are in for banner seasons.
Malcolm Dewberry Malcolm Dewberry 5'11" | CG Bartow | 2021 State FL Ι 5-11 Ι Bartow
Coming over from Avon Park, Malcolm Dewberry Malcolm Dewberry 5'11" | CG Bartow | 2021 State FL will do plenty to take the load off of 2021 Iona commit Walter Clayton Walter Clayton 6'3" | PG Bartow | 2021 State #218 Nation FL at times. He is a quick-twitch guard who can hurt defenses with his legs, vision and overall ball skills. Dewberry is a nice fit for a well-coached Bartow team.
David Mazon David Mazon 6'5" | CG Sarasota Riverview | 2021 State FL Ι 6-5 Ι Sarasota Riverview
Last season, David Mazon David Mazon 6'5" | CG Sarasota Riverview | 2021 State FL was a consistent threat on both ends of the floor for Sarasota Riverview. With a football build, he is a gifted outside shooter and a brute defensively. Look for Mazon to do even more this season as the Rams have a deep and lengthy/athletic group.
Sherwin Frederick Sherwin Frederick 6'6" | SF Treasure Coast | 2021 State FL Ι 6-6 Ι Treasure Coast
Here is a nice sized wing who has a really sound interior game. Sherwin Frederick Sherwin Frederick 6'6" | SF Treasure Coast | 2021 State FL can back down defenders, hit jumpers and block shots with his pure tenacity. He is going to be a top piece for Treasure Coast.
Joe Poyser Joe Poyser 6'4" | PF Wildwood | 2021 State FL Ι 6-4 Ι Wildwood
A solid all-around talent, Joe Poyser Joe Poyser 6'4" | PF Wildwood | 2021 State FL is going to be tasked to do plenty as a ballhandler and pusher in transition this season at Wildwood. He has a nice frame to him along with good speed and slashing ability. Poyser is going to have a breakout year.
