Continue ReadingApril and May are in the books with June coming to an end as well. I wanted to give a Recruiting Trail Update with July coming up as the hottest month in Live Recruiting. Not everyone posts their offers as it is their right to keep that information private, or they can post it online if they choose. 2024’s are finally getting some love in June with the new NCAA Division 1 Legislation being moved up from September 1st concerning contact. July is about to be wild! Here are some names who’ve received offers in the last month or so:
2023
Khyala Ngodu Khyala Ngodu 6'2" | PF Dillard | 2023 State FL – UCF, George Mason, Seton Hall, George Washington, UNF, Morgan State, Delaware, Austin Peay, Delaware
Khyala is the only true post in this top portion, and she is one of the best in her class which is something a ton of colleges are looking for as you can see by her offers. She’s only going to see this number of offers go up in July!
Sophia Rueppell Sophia Rueppell 5'9" | PG Bishop Kenny | 2023 State FL – Appalachian State University, Austin Peay, Samford, Charleston
It’s exciting to see the recruitment of Sophia taking off! You knew this moment was coming, but it always nice to see it come to fruition. She also just recently visited Delaware on an Official Visit. More to come for this 2023 hooper.
D’Yanis Jimenez D’Yanis Jimenez 5'9" | PG Charlotte | 2023 State FL – Penn, Southern Miss, Jacksonville, Columbia
D’Yanis rounds out a talented 2023 group of Florida players that are getting a bunch of looks and offers. You’d be hard pressed to find a better player in SWFL than D’Yanis.
Mjracle Sheppard Mjracle Sheppard 5'8" | CG Montverde Academy | 2023 State FL – Mississippi State, James Madison
In my opinion, Mjracle was somehow still underrated heading into GEICO Nationals (named MVP) and this spring/summer, but her recruitment has definitely picked up as it should. One of the best PG’s in Florida and the country! She already has offers from: North Carolina A&T, Coppin State, Western Kentucky, Florida, SMU, George Washington, Wisconsin, Georgia, Alabama, Towson, Georgia Tech, Xavier, and Vanderbilt.
Kaylah Turner Kaylah Turner 5'5" | PG Oakleaf | 2023 State FL – South Alabama, Navy, UNF, Colgate, Alabama A&M
Kaylah has been showing out this year and added some really solid offers to go along with: Bethune-Cookman, FAMU, and Pensacola State (JUCO). Watch for her to gain some more interest in July as one of the quickest guards in Florida.
2024
Lexi Blue Lexi Blue 6'1" | SF Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL – UCF, Texas A&M, Michigan, Penn
Lexi is one of the most highly recruited 2024’s in Florida and the entire country. She adds these offers to what she already has: Columbia, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Harvard, Ohio State, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Penn State, NC State, Florida State, Illinois, USF, Mississippi State, Virginia, Florida, and Boston College. Some high level D1 offers in her bag!
Vivian Iwuchukwu Vivian Iwuchukwu 6'3" | SF Montverde Academy | 2024 State FL – Mississippi State, UCF, Clemson, Columbia, Loyola Marymount, Kentucky, Florida State, Georgia, Auburn
Vivian continues to play her summer ball with her Texas squad, SA Finest Basketball. During the school year, she hoops with Montverde Academy though. She adds some really nice offers to an already stacked list. Another one of the top 2024’s in the country! Prior offers include: USC, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech, Northeastern, UTSA, Houston, SMU, Ole Miss, and Lamar.
Jada Eads Jada Eads 5'6" | PG Lake Highland Prep | 2024 State FL – UCF, Jacksonville University, FAU, Delaware
The 6A Player of the year in Florida is only going to continue getting more offers. The four schools above join Arkansas and Southern Miss in the early recruitment of Jada. This 2024 class in Florida is no joke!
Eris Lester Eris Lester 5'10" | SF Montverde Academy | 2024 State FL – Jacksonville University, FAU
Eris is another 2024 who has gotten some good attention this spring/summer. She’s at four offers with more to come after only 2 years of High School ball. She adds two in-state offers to go along with UNF and Navy.
