<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 Player Rankings have undergone their first update with players moving up, moving down, staying put, and new names being added. Our team has spent countless hours in the gym since the debut release to make these as accurate as possible while evaluating the current production and ultimate potential of these players. Here are some names below who have impressed and improved their rankings by multiple spots in the past few months within the Top 40 of the 2028 Class in Florida:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1244084"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6865309577666"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Essence is one of the most explosive guards in the 2028 class and is inching closer to a Top 20 spot in Florida. Her game is at it's best when she's getting downhill and scoring around the rim or hitting the mid-range jumper. She has a nice hesitation move in her bag and utilizes fakes as well. Most recently, she's had the privilege to compete with the Puerto Rican u16 FIBA Americup team in Mexico.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["646515"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68653095776cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoey is one of the best point guards at the high school level as only an incoming Sophomore now, so it comes as no shock that she has cracked the Top 25 in the state. She has a state title under her belt already, and she is a really crafty PG that can score it from all three levels and create off the bounce. Her mid-range game is tough with one of the best pull-ups in this class. Zoey's ball handling skills allow her to penetrate and distribute to her teammates with her high-level court vision as one of the most exciting guards in Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235856"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6865309577719"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gabby has really nice size and a great frame for her position, so it's no surprise she is trending upwards in the rankings. She does a really nice job of protecting the ball and using good body control when getting downhill towards the bucket. The versatility in her game from her ability to snag a board and push it in transition to being able to use a hesi move to get past her defender is going to make her a strong prospect for the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235145"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6865309577763"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Camila is one of the biggest stock risers in the 2028 class as her versatility in nearly unmatched in this class. Her length allows her to play taller on the court, and she strides out well to use her length to get into the right spots on the floor on both ends. She can use both hands effectively which helps her stand out, and she can pass it well with either hand with some of the best court vision in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235146"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68653095777a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leila has moved into the Top 40 and this is only the start for her. She has really good length and is a great athlete. Her non-stop motor and intensity on the defensive side of the ball are two aspects of her game that will attract college coaches. Fig can also knock down the 3 ball effectively as one of the most versatile guards in Florida's 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["968076"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68653095777f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alysya has one of the smoothest strokes in the Sunshine State. You can't give her time and space or she'll knock it down. She uses her body to create space for herself when getting to the rim, and has shown some solid body control on both ends of the floor. Her court vision, ability to create, and IQ when pushing the ball in transition will continue to push her up these rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
