As we get set for another high school basketball season, we will be revealing our Top 100 players to watch for in their respective classes. We will start with the senior class, followed by juniors, and then sophomores. The following players are ranked by their collegiate potential and the impact they made during the 2023-2024 season.
#90 Dylon Hanna– Blanche Ely– @dylonhanna on X
Height: 6’1
Position: Combo Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
The 6’1 guard is very aggressive when it comes to the offensive end of the floor, where he is a knockdown shooter at all three levels. Since the start of his junior season, Hanna has gotten more comfortable in expanding his game to where he can score off the bounce. Defensively, Hanna can guard on and off the ball at a very high rate where he uses his athleticism to create havoc for opposing players. He is very underrated when it comes to playing the guard position.
#89 Ja’Cobi Hall– Marianna– @jacobihall12 on X
Height: 6’7
Position: Wing
Commitment: Uncommitted
The 6’7 senior wing plays with a ton of toughness when it comes to playing around the rim on the offensive end. He has a smooth finish where he can score off the catch and bounce as he is very athletic and can score against anybody. Defensively, Hall can guard positions 1 through 4 as he plays with a ton of versatility and is unafraid when it comes to challenging shots around the rim.
#88 Amare Robinson– Florida State University High– @Amare2raw_ on X
Height: 6’0
Position: Combo Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
Robinson is very crafty when it comes to playing the point guard position, where he can finish above the rim on either side. Defensively, he has very quick hands and feet, and he is very active in the passing lanes, where he uses his length to get tips and deflections. He can also guard multiple positions using his athleticism, where he can be a huge factor for his team.
#87 Javian Jones– The King’s Academy– @JavianJones8 on X
Height: 6’0
Position: Point Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
Jones is a two-way player who can make a ton of havoc for opposing players whether it’s as a three-level scorer on the offensive end or a lockdown defender on the defensive end. Jones is also a standout wide receiver on his school’s football team where he displays his great hands and speed. College coaches should start setting their eyes on this kid as he can be a dynamic player at the next level.
#86 Zion Sampaio– Saint Andrew’s (Boca Raton)- @SampaioZion on X
Height: 6’7
Position: Wing
Commitment: Uncommitted
Sampaio is a long and athletic wing who is very explosive on the offensive end, playing with instant energy. He is unafraid when it comes to finishing at the front of the rim through traffic, as well as knocking down shots from the perimeter. Defensively, Sampaio has elite footwork where he can guard multiple positions and use his length when it comes to challenging shots at the rim.
#85 Carter Reins– Jesuit (Tampa)– @CarterReins16 on X
Height: 6’8
Position: Wing
Commitment: Uncommitted
A 6’8 senior small forward whose game has blossomed since the start of his freshman season at Tampa Prep. Reins has great strength, Reins is not your traditional back-to-the-basket finisher, and has a smooth mid-range game on the offensive end. Defensively, he plays with a ton of physicality and adds a ton of length as a solid rim protector. Reins has picked up some interest from mid-major D1 schools since the summer live period.
#84 Andrew Okafor– Archbishop McCarthy– @Andrew_Okafor_ on X
Height: 6’8
Position: Power Forward
Commitment: Uncommitted
Okafor had a big summer playing for FloridaProHoops during the Grassroots season where he displayed a great feel and understanding of the game. Offensively, Okafor can score on all three levels whether it’s off the catch or bounce. Defensively, he gets timely blocks and rebounds exceptionally well using his length and size. College coaches should start peaking at Okafor’s radar as he can impact the game in a variety of ways.
#83 Jayelen Jonas– Blanche Ely– @Showt1me_jayy on X
Height: 6’5
Position: Small Forward
Commitment: Uncommitted
Jonas, standing at 6’5, is an athletic wing who can also play either guard position and has gained a ton of confidence in his game. He is very comfortable when it comes to handling the ball in transition, where he brings a high IQ every time he steps onto the floor. Defensively, he is very active on the glass as well where he can score off put-backs or using his length. College coaches should start intriguing this young prospect as his ceiling continues to grow.
#82 Mario Forbes– St. John Paul II (Tallahassee)– @MarioForbes23 on X
Height: 6’7
Position: Power Forward
Commitment: Uncommitted
Forbes continues to add muscle to his frame where he can dominate on the interior offensively where he is finishing around the rim. He is coming off a junior season where he led the team in points and rebounds per game. Defensively, Forbes has become an elite shot blocker where he can be very effective when it comes to challenging shots around the rim. I fully expect him to get a ton of college interest by the time his senior season comes to an end.
#81 Myles Jones– Gateway Charter– @MylesJones0 on X
Height: 6’4
Position: Combo Guard
Commitment: Uncommitted
Jones, at 6-4 has taken huge strides in his game since the start of his junior season where he has taken over as a primary scoring threat on the offensive end. Defensively, he plays with a ton of hustle and energy where he gets tips and deflections quickly turning defense into offense. Jones could gain a ton of college interest before the season tips-off as he had an impressive summer playing for Team Knight Hoops on the Prelude League circuit.
