Marcus Allen Marcus Allen 6'4" | SF West Orange | 2021 State FL is the highest rated prospect in South Florida at No.3. What players outside of the top tier should you keep an eye on?
Let’s take a look…
Ian Smikle Ian Smikle 6'9" | C Suncoast | 2024 State FL – Suncoast (PH. 54)
Ian Smikle Ian Smikle 6'9" | C Suncoast | 2024 State FL is a prospect with good size and length in the frontcourt. Moreover, his early return at forward has been good. The 6-foot-7 Smikle averaged 6.9 points and seven rebounds (3.2 offensive) as a freshman. That’s a good offensive board number at an early age. He will only fill out and get better around the glass. I think Smikle can be a reliable 3-5 in most situations at this stage. Playing on a talented Suncoast team should only help his development.
Dominic Issa Dominic Issa 6'6" | SF Sagemont | 2024 State FL – Sagemont (PH. 92)
Issa has a good high school frame for the Lions. The 6-foot-6 forward can play as a stretch and score in multiple areas. I think Issa can be a nice matchup problem for underdeveloped forwards. He rebounds and defends his position pretty well. He’s been a prospect I’ve liked for quite some time.
Reece Randolph Reece Randolph 5'9" | PG Chaminade Madonna | 2024 FL – Chaminade-Madonna (PH. 84)
I don’t think you can question Randolph’s handle or ball skill in the backcourt. The 5-foot-9 guard can really move and has good burst with the rock in his hands. Furthermore, I love his play off the dribble and ability to attack the rim. You will find Randolph can stretch a defense and knock down shots from the perimeter as well. He’s a bit of a sleeper at this ranking that could really explode under head coach Rich Belton.
Alex Soto Alex Soto 6'6" | SF Florida Christian | 2024 FL – Miami Palmetto (PH. 97)
Alex Soto Alex Soto 6'6" | SF Florida Christian | 2024 FL is in a good place with Miami Palmetto. The Panther should be very good with players like Jimel Lane Jimel Lane 6'7" | PF Palmetto | 2022 State FL and Braylon Burbridge Braylon Burbridge 6'2" | PG Miami Palmetto | 2024 State FL in the fold. I think you can use Soto’s 6-foot-5 size in multiple areas on the floor. Let him grow and develop in this system and see where it takes him.
Ryan Powell Ryan Powell 6'5" | SF Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2024 FL – Calvary Chrisitan (PH. 226)
This is a steal ranking for Ryan Powell Ryan Powell 6'5" | SF Ft. Lauderdale Calvary Christian | 2024 FL . The 6-foot-5 prospect can run the floor and score using his size in transition. I watched Powell over the summer and thought he moved well from side to side as a defender. He has a solid athletic base at this stage. Powell is playing at a powerhouse right now and under a good head coach in Cilk McSweeney. I also think Powell will grow be much bigger. All of this points to Powell having a lot of potential.
