It has been building up with 2022 pair Martin and Donaldson. Martin, a 6-6 guard/forward holds offers from UF, Georgetown, IUPUI, Arkansas Little Rock, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, USF, Stetson and TCU. He averaged nearly 16.0 PPG as a sophomore and should do even more damage as a speedy and strong playmaker. Donaldson, a 6-2 guard has been a key contributor since his 8th grade season. He has blossomed into a top safety on the football field earning offers from the likes of Alabama, UF and FSU and more. He is a confident and quick-twitch point man. ...2021 6-8 forward Makai Willis Makai Willis 6'7" | PF Florida High | 2021 State FL is a skilled big man for this group who is headed to Fairfield next fall.

Okoroji, a 2022 6-5 forward averaged just shy of 10.0 PPG last season and is a bonafide rangy athlete on both ends of the floor. 2023 6-4 forward Blaise Wallace Blaise Wallace 6'6" | PF Maclay | 2023 State FL the riser for this group after he averaged 10.0 PPG and showed a keen ability to finish at the glass.

A raw long athlete, he’s earned offers from Kennesaw State, Stetson and Western Illinois. ...Balungu is another new face at his 6-4 frame. The 2022 guard/forward transferred in from Ridgeview and can flat out jump on both ends of the floor. Hicks, a 2021 6-3 guard returns from West Nassau to be a key ballhandler and steady scorer. Lewis, a 2021 6-3 guard/forward is one of the most versatile and tough nosed defenders in the state. James Lee Repass James Lee Repass 6'10" | PF Providence | 2021 State FL (Providence) Lee Repass committed early on in the summer to Furman. The 2021 6-10 big is a brute on the boards and has very smooth feet and upper body strength that hurts defenses time and time again. His jumper is an asset when he is left open as well. Look for him to close out his high school year the right way. 2021 6-2 guard Jack Dillard Jack Dillard 6'0" | PG Providence | 2021 State FL is an integral piece to this group with his smooth shot and smart attacking who is committed to Embry Riddle.

Ray, a 2021 6-10 forward is finally back to 100 percent health and his stretching ability on drives and blocks/boards are huge for this team. Turner, a 2021 6-6 forward is a skilled ballhandler and shooter who is highly athletic and a major factor after coming in from Sandalwood. Beza Miller Beza Miller 6'0" | PG Episcopal | 2023 State FL & Mark Flakus Mark Flakus 6'1" | SG Episcopal | 2022 State FL (Episcopal) Episcopal will have reliable guard play, that is for sure. Miller, a 2023 6-1 guard is one of my favorite maturing ballhandlers. He is really good instincts, moves well and plays lightyears ahead of his age. Flakus, a 2022 6-1 guard verbally committed to UNF earlier this summer and is a high-volume shooter dripping in confidence.

Yonge | 2021 State FL & Christian Norman Christian Norman 5'9" | PG PK Yonge | 2021 State FL (PK Yonge) Always in command of an offense and vocal, as can be, Bloodworth was the top piece for this PK Yonge squad last season and it will be the same here in 2020-21. The 2021 5-11 guard is a gamer who doesn’t back down from a challenge. He can score in bunches (17.1 PPG in 2019-20). Norman, a 2021 5-9 guard is a nice counterpart who had nice outings often, averaging 14.9 PPG as a junior.

Chavaris Dumas Chavaris Dumas 6'0" | PG Interlachen | 2023 State FL (Interlachen) One of the youngest starting fives in the state a season ago, Interlachen should stand to be a bit more seasoned this fall. Dumas, a 2023 6-0 guard is a lightning bolt out on the floor and the most gifted all-around scorer for this program (12.1 PPG in 2019-20). 2023 6-0 guard Jaden Perry Jaden Perry 6'3" | SG Interlachen | 2023 State FL (9.2 PPG in 2019-20) can flat out shoot it and 2023 6-1 guard/forward (7.5 PPG in 2019-20) is a leaper and powerful finisher. Jacques Njeanwobi Jacques Njeanwobi 6'5" | SF Trinity Catholic | 2021 State FL & LJ Pugh LJ Pugh 6'0" | PG Trinity Catholic | 2022 State FL (Trinity Catholic) Njeanwobi is a prospect who has struggled with injuries but is now back to his full capacity. At 6-5, the 2021 forward is a physical attacker and rebounder who should routinely produce double double nights. Pugh, a 2022 6-0 guard is a gifted and powerful finisher who likes to get inside and finish.

Region 1 – District 4 Zavien Williams Zavien Williams 6'0" | CG Windermere Prep | 2021 State FL & Elijiah Hulsewe (Windermere Prep) Windermere Prep rebuilt the program a year ago and now it is time to make a run. Zavien Williams Zavien Williams 6'0" | CG Windermere Prep | 2021 State FL , a 2021 5-11 guard is a high IQ playmaking guard who scores inside and grabs boards with his effort and jumping ability. Hulsewe is the big man down low who can shoot the mid-range and simply move guys around for dunks and rebounds. Jayden Williams Jayden Williams 6'3" | SG Windermere Prep | 2022 State FL , a 2022 6-5 forward continues to grow in height and his game is expanding along the way. 2021 6-7 forward Gabriel Ferguson Gabriel Ferguson 6'7" | PF Windermere Prep | 2021 State FL arrived from Lake Highland Prep and is a long body who can drive and block shots often. Eduardo Placer Eduardo Placer 6'1" | CG Master's | 2023 State FL (Oviedo Master’s) Placer has sprouted up to 6-4. The 2023 guard carved out a role for himself as a freshman at Oviedo Master’s as a sure possession ballhandler and shooter. Now, he is dunking with one-hand and playing with endless confidence. He holds an offer from UNF and should continue to build up his abilities.  Javon Bennett Javon Bennett 5'10" | CG Trinity Prep | 2022 State FL & Laziz Talipov Laziz Talipov 6'0" | CG Trinity Prep | 2021 State FL (Trinity Prep) Scoring is always on Bennett’s mind.

Holland Liverpool & Jaden Huygens Jaden Huygens 6'0" | SG Cornerstone Charter | 2023 State FL (Cornerstone Charter) Liverpool and Huygens are a dangerous duo night in and night out when it comes to pure scoring.

Sharp averaged a cool 31.9 PPG at Blake as a sophomore. Alongside him is Mitchell, a fellow 2022 prospect standing at 6-7 who has offers from SMU, USF, Vanderbilt, UF, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech and Texas A&M. He averaged 12.4 PPG, 9.5 RPG and 4.4 APG last season at Sickles as he continues to be more of an aggressor. ...Three other key transfers are: 2022 6-4 guard Anthony Davis Anthony Davis 6'4" | CG Bishop McLaughlin | 2022 State FL (via Blake), who holds offers from Fairfield, Bryant and James Madison and is a powerful and big-bodied lead guard. 2022 6-8 forward Matthew Webster Matthew Webster 6'4" | PF Pasco | 2022 State FL (via Pasco), who averaged 20.4 PPG last season and is a major inside piece.

Mike Trigg Mike Trigg 6'6" | SG Carrollwood Day | 2021 State #148 Nation FL (Carrollwood Day) Headed to USC next fall to play football, Trigg, a 2021 athlete is also a fine basketball talent. He had some banner seasons at Seffner Christian the last few years and now closes his high school career out at Carrollwood Day. The 6-5 guard is hard to slow down and always in full control of the ball. 2022 6-6 forward Tony Livingston Tony Livingston 6'6" | CG King | 2022 State FL returns to Carrollwood Day after spending his sophomore season at Seffner Christian with Trigg. The high major football talent is also a very talented shooter and finisher on the basketball court.

CJ Hawkins CJ Hawkins 6'7" | CG Berkeley Prep | 2022 State FL (Berkeley Prep) The step forward was apparent for Hawkins last season as a sophomore. The 2022 6-8 forward earned offers from Western Michigan and IUPUI. He opted to play football here this fall and his body is leaner and stronger from doing so. He is going to really turn heads as a double digit scorer nightly at Berkeley Prep. 2021 brothers Mark Mulfinger Mark Mulfinger 6'4" | CG Berkeley Prep | 2021 State FL and Matt Mulfinger both stand at 6-2 and play tough two-way basketball. Another player to monitor here is 2023 6-8 forward Keon Keeley Keon Keeley 6'7" | PF Berkeley Prep | 2023 State FL who is ready to breakout after showing glimpses as a freshman. Willie Jones Willie Jones 6'6" | SG Seffner Christian | 2021 State FL (Seffner Christian) One of the holdovers at Seffner Christian is Jones, a 2021 6-6 guard who can be highly productive when he is locked in. He can shoot it, slash and be an-all around threat on both ends of the floor. This is his team and he should run with that opportunity. 2021 6-0 guard Isaiah Reed is a speedy counterpart who can fly in transition. Trae Martin Trae Martin 6'8" | PF Brooks DeBartolo | 2021 State FL (Brooks DeBartolo) Starting his basketball career only four years ago, it seems as if Martin is peaking at the right time. The 2021 6-8 big man turned heads this summer and has offers from Barry University and St. Petersburg College under his belt. He has nice awareness and finds good areas down low offensively. Battling some injuries the last two seasons, Brooks DeBartolo will have a playmaking point man running the show in 2023 6-0 guard George Kimble George Kimble 6'0" | CG Brooks DeBartolo | 2023 State FL . He is quick as can be and should boost Martin’s value even further. Valentino Hart Valentino Hart 6'4" | SF Tampa Prep | 2021 State FL (Tampa Prep) Tampa Prep is always going to be in games, no matter who takes the floor for its side. 2021 6-4 guard/forward Valentino Hart Valentino Hart 6'4" | SF Tampa Prep | 2021 State FL is the No. 1 option for this team and he is a very nice athlete. He averaged nearly 10.0 PPG a season ago and I expect him to ramp up his production this winter. Two other senior contributors are Jakob Stiglich, a 6-3 guard who shoots the ball well and 5-11 guard Pierce Blount Pierce Blount 6'1" | PG Tampa Prep | 2021 State FL who is a playmaking guard.

Region 2 – District 6 Tristan Gross Tristan Gross 6'4" | CG Clearwater Calvary Christian | 2023 State FL (Clearwater Calvary Christian) Clearwater Calvary Christian has a really nice mix of young talent in place this season. At the helm is Gross, a 2023 6-4 guard who continues to grow in height and maturity. He is a quick step guard, who defends with smarts and shoots the ball well. With a keen focus and more vocalness, he should thrive after earning an offer from SMU a few weeks ago. 2022 6-3 guard Trevor Parks Trevor Parks 6'4" | CG Clearwater Calvary Christian | 2022 State FL is the perfect pairing for him as a jump shooter2 and he is a dangerous piece when given time to shoot. ...2020 6-0 guard Griffin Barasa Griffin Barasa 6'1" | CG Clearwater Calvary Christian | 2021 State FL is a blazer on the floor who can get up on the rim. He earned an offer from Division III Dean College this week. 2023 6-5 forward Jonathan Caicedo Jonathan Caicedo 6'5" | SF State FL is someone who is just itching to breakout after showing growing confidence a year ago. Last but not least is perhaps the most unknown prospects here in 2023 5-11 guard Dominic Saragumba Dominic Saragumba 5'8" | PG Clearwater Calvary Christian | 2023 State FL , a long armed and all-around hustle player. Trey Johnson Trey Johnson 6'7" | PF Clearwater Central Catholic | 2021 State FL (Clearwater Central Catholic) Johnson has the looks of a near 20-point scorer every night if he can stay fully healthy and locked in. The 2021 6-7 forward is a talented shooter and when aggressive is very hard to contain defensively. Johnson holds offers from Mount St. Mary’s and FGCU and should earn more attention as the guy at Clearwater Central Catholic. Mikhail Whyte Mikhail Whyte 6'3" | PF Shorecrest Prep | 2022 State FL (Shorecrest Prep) You can’t ignore the success of Whyte from last season at Shorecrest Prep. The 2022 6-2 forward is a big body who averaged 13.4 PPG and 9.5 RPG and looks like an even better bet to top those numbers with ease. Hayden McCain Hayden McCain 5'11" | CG Northside Christian | 2023 State FL & Skyler Scull Skyler Scull 5'8" | PG Northside Christian | 2023 State FL (Northside Christian) Northside Christian should surprise teams this season with some gifted shooters in place in 2023 duo McCain and Scull. McCain, a 5-11 guard transferred in from St. Pete and should set the tone with his stretch shooting. Scull, a 5-9 guard is a fast paced guard who has a nice jump shot to his game. Another prospect to watch here is 2023 6-8 forward Connor Alevok Connor Alevok 6'8" | PF Northside Christian | 2023 State FL , who will be counted upon to battle inside. Tim Reilly Tim Reilly 6'7" | C St. Pete Catholic | 2021 State FL (St. Pete Catholic) Reilly is someone who has come on as of late. At 6-10, the 2021 forward is going to have a chance to put it all together and will be leaned on to grab boards and score down low a ton.

Region 2 – District 7 Tyler Odonoghue Tyler Odonoghue 6'6" | SF Out-of-Door | 2021 State FL (Out-of-Door) Out in Sarasota, Odonoghue has been a consistent scoring forward. The 2021 6-6 prospect averaged 15.1 PPG at Out-Of-Door last season and will continue to flourish in this system as a senior. Fellow senior, 6-2 guard Ryan Kelly Ryan Kelly 5'10" | CG Out-of-Door | 2021 State FL averaged 12.9 PPG as a junior and did plenty with his shooting touch. Stravis Lutchman Stravis Lutchman 6'2" | SF Bradenton Christian | 2021 State FL (Bradenton Christian) Bradenton Christian has quietly been one of the hardest working lower class squads. The small school has a keeper in Lutchman, a 2021 6-2 guard/forward who averaged 12.1 PPG last season. He will be the focal point once again.

The 2021 6-0 guard plays a no-nonsense style of basketball. He rarely gets rattled and can pass with the best of them. He will set the tone for this Fort Myers Canterbury bunch all season long. He holds an offer from Division III Stevenson. 2021 6-7 forward Abedola Adebayo Abedola Adebayo 6'8" | SF Fort Myers Canterbury | 2021 State FL is a steal for his next stop in the college ranks Mount St. Mary’s. He is just hitting his full capability as an attacking wing and dangerous shot blocker. ...2021 6-4 guard Landon Howard Landon Howard 6'3" | CG Canterbury | 2021 State FL (transfer from Fort Myers) is a confident third weapon with his jumper. 2024 6-3 guard Justin Heinrichs Justin Heinrichs 6'3" | SG Fort Myers Canterbury | 2024 State FL is a freshman to watch with his legitimate 3-ball. Ryker Vance Ryker Vance 6'6" | PF Community School of Naples | 2021 State FL & Lovenson Xavier Lovenson Xavier 6'2" | CG Community School | 2021 State FL (Naples Community School) Naples Community School made an improbable run to the state tournament this past season and you have to credit Vance and Xavier for carrying the brunt of the load. Vance is a highly skilled 2021 6-6 forward who can really hurt teams with his smooth finishes and shot blocking ability on the other end. Xavier is a strong and speedy guard who can shoot it and drive with determination. Noah Cutler Noah Cutler 5'9" | PG Gateway Charter | 2024 State FL & Blake Maddox Blake Maddox 6'3" | SF Gateway Charter | 2024 State FL (Gateway Charter) It is all about getting better and Gateway Charter has a 2024 duo that will make things happen this season in Cutler and Maddox.
