Prep Hoops Circuit Team Preview: Ball4Lyfe

<p>Ball4Lyfe is an independent program that serves the Palm Beach area. They’ve produced college athletes every year since their inception. Eight years ago their first class in program history 9 players from that roster played college ball. This program has a long history of preparing players from fourth grade and beyond.</p> <p>Founder and head coach Brandon Arnette has a long history in coaching before starting Ball4Lyfe. He started as a player with Umass Lowell playing on the roster that brought them into the Division 2 ranks. His regional ties put him in contact with Middlesex Magic. Arnette has framed his program in a similar way to the storied New England AAU team.</p> <p>His team has become a breeding ground for circuit teams to scout. It’s a testament to the development that comes from the Ball4Lyfe program. Arnette and his coaching staff chose to be a part of Prep Hoops Circuit because of our ability to get players in front of coaches for their ideal level.</p> <p>Ball4Lyfe is a fast paced team that can score 80-90 points on a given day. They’ll be a fixture on a circuit all season. Both 17U and 16U have the talent to make a statement at every stop this summer.</p> <p>17U</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="955602" first="Anquan" last="Boldin Jr"]. has been a fixture for this program over the last two years. After a strong summer season he garnered the interest of low D1s and D2 schools. He kept that fuels going into his senior season with IMG. He’s an explosive wing player that can punch it home, excels in off ball, and wreaks havoc on defense. Boldin is gearing up for a prep year with IMG and is looking to turn heads this summer.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="962569" first="Kyle" last="McNeal"] is a diamond in the rough. His talents on the court are under the radar despite posting good games against great competition. Fresh off his sophomore year he played a big part in a nail-biting loss to independent power 3D Empire. McNeal is a high level athlete that can finish at the rim, has a motor, and developed as a shot maker over his junior season. He’s currently fielding interest from FIU and FGCU among other Division 1 schools.</p> <p>Blake Wilson is a 6’6 sniper out of Dwyer High School. Wilson is the type of shooter that can go 6 of 8 from beyond the arc in a game and his 37% on the high school season backs it up. He like the first two perimeter players on this team are receiving low D1 interest.</p> <p>Juan Rodriguez is 6’8 big man out of Jupiter, Florida. Arnette describes him as a mean, junkyard dog. He plays bigger than his listed height and wants to dunk everything around the basket. He’s the team’s muscle and most under the radar prospect. Rodriguez likes to get up and down the floor and hit the corner jumper. The 2023 prospect has a high upside and that’s why division 2 colleges like Palm Beach Atlantic and Lynn University are showing interest.</p> <p>Zakaih Saez is a high level football player that makes a difference on the hardwood. He’s physical forward that can shoot long twos. He’s coming off an injury and will only get better as the summer season progresses. coming of ankle injury cold high level football player physical can step out and shoot</p> <p>Jack Chamberlain adds to the length and shooting of this team. As a 6’6 wing he’ll provide the spacing needed for their athletic core to get in the paint.</p> <p>Kamari Haston is coming off a state title win with Martin County. He’s an athletic guard that can make plays in the paint</p> <p>2024</p> <p>Before getting into the 16 U roster, Arnette let me into Coach Watson’s goals for his teams. They’ll look to play fast and hard at every single stop.</p> <p>Jermaine Council is coming off a strong 1st all county sophomore campaign. He scored a team high 17 points a game for a program that’s produced 4 high major players over the last four years. Council is an explosive finisher who is built like a running back. He’s confident in his jumper which makes an already explosive guard that much more dangerous.</p> <p>Andrew Signorelli moved from California just after the eligibility deadline. The 6’5 guard is a known shooter that doesn’t miss open looks.</p> <p>Mario McDonnough is a hard nosed defender with a high motor. He specializes in getting to the paint and making plays for others.</p> <p>Daniel Washington is a long 6’4 wing. He’ll need to add strength to unlock his game but all the tools are there for him to become productive perimeter player.</p>
