#10 Jordan Tillery– IMG Academy– @jiggy_jordxn on X
Height: 6’5
Position: Shooting Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
A 6-5 senior guard who excels when it comes to scoring in transition or in the half court. Tillery also has a knack where he guards the opposing team’s best player where he can be very effective as well. He is a slasher and plays with an unselfish attitude where he gets his teammates involved early and often. Tillery is a very active defender where he is seemed to be an above-average rebounder and rim protector for his size.
#9 Jamier Jones– Oak Ridge– @_thejamierjones on X
Height: 6’7
Position: Small Forward
Commitment: Providence
The 6’7 high-flying wing has a huge upside, as he is consistently getting better at scoring across all three levels. His ability to defend multiple positions has also improved where he has a solid amount of length and athleticism to his game. Jones was named to the All-Third Team this past summer at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam, where he averaged 16.6 points per game playing for the Florida Rebels. He was also named to the All-State Class 7A First Team last season where he helped lead the Pioneers to the state championship game.
#8 Alex Lloyd– Westminster Academy– @AlexLloyd33 on X
Height: 6’4
Position: Shooting Guard
Commitment: Florida
The 6’4 senior guard is an intriguing prospect with a ton of athleticism and a high IQ on the offensive end of the floor. His ability to blow by defenders and finish at the rim has continued to improve as well as his ability to space the floor. Defensively, Lloyd plays at a ton of length, and he can play in the post or out on the perimeter. Lloyd was named to the All-EYBL Third Team during the Peach Jam where he helped lead the Nightrydas to their third consecutive Peach Jam title.
#7 Shon Abaev– Calvary Christian Academy (Fort Lauderdale)– @shon_abaev on X
Height: 6’8
Position: Small Forward
Commitment: Uncommitted
Abaev is one of the most polished scorers in the state whether it’s his ability to finish at the rim or on the perimeter. His ability to create his own shot, whether off the catch or bounce, is impeccable as he has a high release point. Defensively, Abaev has great body control and understanding of how to defend at the front of the rim without fouling. He is also a very high-level rebounder and ball-handler that can get into the open floor with comfortability.
#6 Sadiq White– IMG Academy– @SadiqWhite11 on X
Height: 6’8
Position: Power Forward
Commitment: Syracuse
White is a versatile athlete who has a lot of explosiveness and force in his game. Offensively, White is unafraid when it comes to playing through contact as well as gaining consistency in the mid-range game. Defensively, he is capable of guarding multiple positions as well as becoming a vital playmaker when guarding on-the-ball. He has a wiry frame with the ability to challenge shots at the front of the rim using his length and athleticism.
#5 Cayden Boozer– Columbus (Miami)– @CaydenBoozer on X
Height: 6’5
Position: Point Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
Cayden is the son of former NBA player Carlos Boozer and is the twin brother of Cameron where he is more of the facilitator on the offensive end. Cayden has a strong knack where he can get downhill and finish over multiple defenders with either hand. He plays with a ton of quickness on the defensive end of the floor as well where he is very active in the passing lanes as well as when guarding on-the-ball. He has won three straight state championships with Columbus as well.
#4 Mikel Brown Jr.– DME Academy– @MikelBrownJr1 on X
Height: 6’3
Position: Point Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
Brown returns to the Sunshine State after spending last season at Overtime Elite. He has a unique combination of skill sets with crafty ball-handling and shiftiness in the open court. His ability to score on all three levels has also been something to take note of off the catch or bounce. His offensive threat ability can make havoc for opposing defenders as he doesn’t need to have the basketball in his hands in order for his team to have success.
#3 Amari Allen– Ashwaubenon (Wisconsin)– @2amariii on X
Height: 6’7
Position: Shooting Guard
Commitment: Alabama
The 6-7 senior guard is crafty and can score in a variety of ways whether it’s at the rim or from beyond the arc. He has played with a ton of confidence and consistency this season on the offensive end. Allen plays with a ton of length where he rebounds exceptionally well for his size on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end of the floor, Allen can guard positions 1 through 4 as his footwork has continued to improve where he is able to keep up with the opposing guards. He has since moved back to his home state of Wisconsin for his senior season after previously playing at IMG Academy.
#2 Darius Acuff– IMG Academy– @DariusAcuff on X
Height: 6’3
Position: Point Guard
Commitment: Arkansas
Acuff is a dynamic guard who plays with a ton of confidence on both ends of the floor. He is a leader on the offensive end and with the basketball in his hands he has a great feel and understanding of the game. Defensively, his physicality and competitiveness have continued to improve as he heads into his senior season. His quickness allows the opposition into forcing up tough shots and is also viewed as an underrated rebounder for his size.
#1 Cameron Boozer– Columbus (Miami)– @CameronBoozer12 on X
Height: 6’10
Position: Power Forward
Commitment: Uncommitted
The 6-10 junior power forward showed reasons why he is the No. 1 ranked prospect in the junior class. Boozer is a generational type who can score on all three levels whether it’s off the bounce or the catch. He’s also developed strong instincts when it comes to protecting the glass where he rebounds well on both ends of the floor. On the defensive end, he continues to play with a ton of athleticism as well as create space for him and his teammates.
