Belton has great size and is a super smart player on the court, who makes great decisions on the court. Her pull up jumper is lethal and she can shoot it from anywhere on the floor. She is a beast in the motion offense and she comes off that curl ready to stroke it. She does an excellent job of using her big for the screen. Belton is a selfless player on the floor and she makes a conscious effort to get the ball into her dominant big on the inside. She scores well in the transition game and does a good job of passing it as well. You forget that Belton is just a Freshman. She is an elite player and definitely has the “It” Factor.

Jasleen Green Jasleen Green 5'9" | SF American Heritage (Plantation) | 2026 State FL is just off a State Championship and she has taken it to another level. She was impressive the Sunshine Showdown and Southern Jam, and even more impressive last week during the first week of the Live Period. Her midrange shots and finishes in transition were legit (left and right hand finishes). I first saw her last season at the Candace Dupree and she was killing it on drives to the goal. Green is elite and you can’t spell “elite” without “IT”.
Jaelyn Housey Jaelyn Housey 5'9" | PG Nova | 2026 State FL turned heads during the live period and received another college offer. The young prospect is a talented guard who can get the ball to the rim and score in anyway: She can penetrate to the rim, stop in the midrange, and pull up from behind the three point line. Housey is a high IQ player who makes great decisions in the floor. She makes plays for herself and also does a good job of setting up her teammates with open shots.
Terrell McCoy Terrell McCoy 6'0" | PF Bolles | 2026 State FL is another big time power player who can be dominant in the paint. McCoy can play through contact and can maneuver her way in the paint. She can definitely get her shot off in the middle. She puts pressure on the opponent with her strength and ability to score. Defensively, McCoy can hold her own in the paint. She entered the Grassroots season with an offer and looking to draw more interest this AAU season.
Trinity Berry Trinity Berry 5'8" | SG Jean Ribault | 2027 State FL jumped out the gates strong and has not looked back. Berry shot the three ball exceptionally well the first week of the spring period. She scored off the catch and off the dribble. Berry can score the ball from any level on the floor. She can also play multiple positions on the floor. Berry has good speed and can get out and run on the break. Berry received offers when she was in the 8th grade.
Elle Deegan Elle Deegan 5'10" | SG Bishop Kenny | 2027 State FL is a young player who received a college offer before even setting foot in high school. Deegan’s specialty is shooting the rock. She is an efficient and elite three point shooter.
