Top 5 Players (Hillsborough County)
- 2017’s undecided prospect is nationally known and maybe the most versatile player at his position. The 195 lb 6’8″ SF Kevin Knox II of Tampa Catholic in Tampa, Fl is athletic and unbelievable at times. He’s a major impact player with a Kevin Durant type skill set. Knox plays multiple positions plus defend, gets out in transition, rebounds and finishes in traffic. With so many accolades he’s well decorated, from being a member of the Gold Medal winning 2015 USA Basketball U16 National Team to The Tampa Tribunes All-Hillsborough County first team in 2015. Knox is averaging 30.1 ppg and 10.9 rpg and preparing for a good state run. This kid is still growing in the game of basketball and has one more year to go. Just Scary!!

He’s a special player and we can’t wait to see him perform with the Huskies!
3. Tyson Ward – A 6’4″ 175 lb undecided prospect guard of Tampa Prep(Fl.), has improved tremendously and has excepted the challenge of being the guy at Tampa Prep when star forward Juwan Durham went down. 
He’s stock as risen and he has shown he is capable of being a D1 prospect. Ward has a hybrid game that gives him an ability to play 3 positions. He’s competitive in which he’s shown against top teams such has Montverde Academy, Tampa Catholic and others. He’s producing and I think he’s just starting to scratch the surface.
