5 standout players from the Hoop Exchange Fall Festival ft. Boozer Twins and Toni Bryant
#5 Cameron Boozer
Five-star recruit Cameron Boozer and four-star recruit Cayden Boozer dominated playing for the Christopher Columbus High School squad. According to 247Sports, the five-star power forward performed really well in the paint, finishing through contact and expanding his range.
With offers from Kentucky, Duke, Miami and more, the Florida Gators lead the race to recruit Cameron Boozer, according to On3.
#4 Cayden Boozer
The other Boozer twin showed tremendous improvement in his shooting from the 3-point line. Furthermore, he has come out as a floor general who makes his presence known on the court and gets his teammates involved while defending.
Cayden Boozer also had offers from various programs including Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina and more, but just like his brother, the Florida Gators have a 34.1% chance to land the $248K NIL-valued guard (according to On3).
#3 Toni Bryant
The four-star power forward from Tampa, Florida, belongs to the class of 2026 and has shown an incredible rise. In the Hoop Exchange Fall Festival, Bryant did pretty well as a shot blocker with his 6'9" frame. Also, he was able to grab offensive rebounds for some putback points. During defending, the North Tampa Christian Academy player switched in a stellar manner and even defended the perimeter.
He still has another year before he starts his collegiate career. However, he has received plenty of offers from programs like UCF, USC, Florida, Ohio State and more. However, it is the Ole Miss Rebels who have the highest chance of recruiting Bryant with a 60.3% prediction.
#2 Jalen Reece
The Class of 2025 point guard is 6'0" tall and weighs 170 pounds. However, what he lacks in size, he more than makes up with his competitiveness on the court. While defending, Reece forced turnovers and was able to finish in transition, even with strong contact. He was also able to convert deep shots.
The Oak Ridge senior is yet to make a decision but there are two teams that stand out from the rest when it comes to Reece's recruitment. The LSU Tigers have a 28.9% chance while the Cincinnati Bearcats have a 25.3% chance of recruiting the Orlando, Florida, native.
#1 Caleb Gaskins
Montverde Academy's Class of 2026 power forward is ranked as a five-star recruit by ESPN, Rivals, 247Sports and as a four-star recruit by On3. In the Hoop Exchange Fall Festival, Gaskins was able to convert tough shots from mid-range, even with players over him. Defensively, he used his strong 6'9" frame to block shots and protect the paint. However, he did not let his build slow him down as he still moved fluently and had a good jumper.
Mississippi, Georgia, Florida State and more teams have offered Gaskins, however, Jacksonville is the current leader in the race to recruit the Melbourne, Florida, native with a 17.4% chance.
