There were dozens of prospects ranging from the Class of 2025-2027. Here is who stood out on Saturday:

2026 6-10 PF Toni Bryant (Tre Mann Elite)

Bryant showcased why he is a five-star prospect who holds over 20 Division 1 offers from notable Power 4 schools where he can be effective on all three scoring levels on the offensive end. Bryant also utilized his length on the defensive end where he can challenge shots whether in the paint or out on the perimeter.     Despite the loss to Florida Pro, Bryant finished with a game-high 28 points, nine rebounds, and three blocks.

 

2029 6-2 PG Josiah Brooks (Nightrydas Elite 2028 EYBL)

Brooks is the No. 1 ranked player in the Class of 2029 where he displayed a ton of creativity on the offensive end whether he was the primary ball-handler or facilitating for his teammates. He did a good job when it came to getting to the front of the rim where he was unafraid to use his athleticism and frame to his advantage.

 

 

2027 5-11 PG Cayden Daughtry (Florida Rebels 2027 EYBL)

The 5-11 sophomore point guard showcased his leadership and elite court vision in a win over 321 SuperSonics. He can find open teammates off the catch as well as off the bounce, as well as score in a variety of ways where he finished with a game-high 25 points. He will continue to be a matchup problem for opposing guards where he was playing on the OTE Circuit as a 15-year-old last winter as well as leading his high school team to a state championship back in March.

 

2028 6-7 PF Evan Graham (South Florida Select)

The 6-7 freshman power forward has an advanced game for his age where he can challenge shots at the front of the rim on the defensive end as well as protect the rim where he limits the opposition from getting second-chance looks at the basket. On the offensive end, he utilized his size and strength when it came to overpowering the defense scoring at the front of the rim whether it was on post-ups or on putbacks. Look for Graham to continue to be a matchup problem for opposing guards over the next three years.

2027 5-11 PG Ajayden Jenkins (Team Speights 15U Red)

Jenkins, A 5-11 sophomore guard plays with great pace and patience on the offensive end where he didn’t get rattled when the defense applies pressure on him. In the win over Southeast Elite Select, Jenkins was a constant threat where he scored on all three levels and was unafraid when it came to scoring at the front of the basket while absorbing contact. His maturity and IQ have continued to show this spring where he is able to defend on-the-ball without fouling as well as being a threat in the passing lanes as well.

2027 6-2 PG Jeremiah Jones (Tre Mann Elite 2027)

The 6-2 sophomore point guard is quick and shifty when he has the basketball in his hands where he makes the right reads in getting his teammates involved. Jones also can get to the gaps and find open shooters on the perimeter with his elite court vision on the offensive end. His defensive presence continues to be a huge factor, and he is an underrated rebounder for his size.

2026 6-1 PG Gabriel Parks (Southeast Elite Gold)

Parks continues to showcase his perennial talent when it comes to shooting from behind the arc where he knocked down five 3-pointers in a comfortable win over North Point Youth this morning. Parks also did a great job when it came to getting his teammates involved on the offensive end as well. Parks spaced the floor and demanded defensive attention. He is known for his craftiness as a driver and his ability to move well off the ball.
