<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">By Michael Wholey 10/19/22 10:00 AM EST</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>We identified a bunch of young talent in July.&nbsp; As we transition from travel ball to school season, here are six 2028 <strong>wing and front court players</strong></em><strong><em> </em></strong><em>to watch this middle school season.&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514907' first='London' last='Baez']</strong> (Hunters Creek Renaissance / CFE) – 5'7 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Baez has great height and length for a young player and has a ton of potential.&nbsp; On a CFE roster loaded with talent Baez has some of the biggest upside.&nbsp; Her frame is what college coaches desire and as she continues to get stronger and grow into her body, she will continue to be a stock riser.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='400815' first='Kylie' last='Green']</strong> (Challenger 7 Elementary / [program_tooltip program_id='713109' first='East' last='Coast United']) – 5'11 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Green stood out for her confidence and court presence.&nbsp; At 5'11, she can play all three guard positions and can score in a variety of ways.&nbsp; She can shoot the 3, attack off the dribble, get into the paint and uses her length well to shoot and score over the top of defenders.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514912' first='Kallie' last='Marsh']</strong> (Osceola / CFE) – 5'10 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Marsh is a strong, stocky post player who can play the wing and forward spot.&nbsp; She is a good rebounder and finishes well in the paint.&nbsp; She runs the floor and plays aggressive defense and isn't afraid to play physical.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514916' first='Caeli' last='Weaver']</strong> (Pacetti Bay / [program_tooltip program_id='713109' first='East' last='Coast United']) – 5'11 Wing</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Weaver is a tall, skinny post who is still growing into her body.&nbsp; She has a ton of potential and a big upside.&nbsp; She is one of the top young post players in Florida and a bright upside.&nbsp; She rebounded the ball, finished well in the paint, and was an impactful shot blocker.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514913' first='Michelle' last='McKenzie']</strong> (Gotha / CFE) – 5'9 Center</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">McKenzie is another long, skinny post player with a ton of potential.&nbsp; She pursued balls out of area, ran the floor hard and did a good job in the paint, scoring vs contact and working hard on the defensive end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514906' first='Winnie' last='Mesidor']</strong> (Bella Lago / CFE) – 5'6 Center</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Mesidor is undersized compared to some of the other post players, giving up 2-3 inches.&nbsp; Altough she is undersized, she makes up with her aggressive play and strong build.&nbsp; Should she continue to grow and compete at the same level, she will be an impact player and a prospect that people will need to keep their eyes on.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Michael Wholey</strong> is the lead scout for Florida Prep Girls Hoop Florida and a former division one Assistant Coach at American University, University of Memphis, and Georgia Tech.&nbsp;
