<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sophomore ID Camp is set to showcase some of the best young talent in Florida's 2028 class. From versatile wings to dominant post players, these athletes bring their own style and skillsets to the floor. Some thrive by stretching the defense, others by controlling the paint, and all of them have these two things in common — they all have good height (5'10 and above) and they know how to use their length to impact the game.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1235220' first='Ella' last='Johnson'] (5'10, Aubrey Rogers)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson (cover) is an athletic forward who runs the floor well and contributes on the glass.

The lengthy forward average 14.4 points per game and also pulled in 4.5 rebounds per game can also shoot the rock she connected on a 44 threes at a 35% rate.

Her skill set jumps out and her basketball IQ is noticeable on the film. She has great anticipation and does an excellent job of reading the defense and making an impact as a scorer, facilitator and play maker. She plays the game one step ahead, reading defenses and finding ways to make everyone around her better. Farr has very good instincts, especially for a Sophomore. She will be a player we are looking to see more of at the Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514916' first='Caeli' last='Weaver'] (6'2, Bartram Trail)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weaver's length and mobility give her an edge. She rebounds naturally, protects the rim, and has a nice offensive game in the mid range area. The young power forward runs the floor like a guard and has the ability to score in transition. She also brings the energy and is always the first to praise a teammate for a positive play. Weaver is a leader who plays with great confidence and has other intangibles you can't teach. Looking to see Weaver at the camp and see how she matches up with other forwards from around the State of Florida. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
