Sammie Yeanay Sammie Yeanay 6'7" | PF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State #98 Nation AZ more than cemented his top 10 ranking in the Florida class of 2024 after a dominant day at the Prep Top250. He dominated the paint both ways, protecting the rim on defense and dunking everything around the rim on the offense. Yeaney’s mobility and motor were on full display as he scored in transition with a contact filled euro layup and as a cutter in the half court.
Bigs don’t always shine in a camp setting, but 6’10 Gavin Aydelotte Gavin Aydelotte 6'11" | C Benjamin | 2023 State FL was hard to miss. He has a good frame with broad shoulders. Ayedlotte showed he can score in various ways throughout the day by hitting jumpers from three and the midrange in game two, gaining deep positioning, using his footwork to get a right-handed hook in game 3.
Nehemiah Turner Nehemiah Turner 6'8" | PF Auburndale | 2023 State FL looks to be in better than when I saw him in June. He’s still a good rebounder, but looks to have improved his lift. The 2023 prospect deterred shots at the rim and hit a trail 3.
Senior forward James Morrow James Morrow 6'7" | PF Andrew Jackson | 2022 State FL played every with passion. He talked to his teammates about rotations and was fully engaged in every play. At 6’7 he tracked down guards in transition for two blocks while matching up with Asa Newell Asa Newell 6'8" | PF Montverde Academy | 2024 State #29 Nation FL .
2023 Dylan James Dylan James 6'8" | SF The Rock | 2023 State #48 Nation FL plays like a big man with wing skills. He switches from hitting threes and taking defenders off the bounce for layups to offensive rebounding and throwing down thunderous dunks. His versatility was on full display in Winter Haven.
