Three of Florida’s incoming 2019 players were on display Monday in the Hoophall Classic, a showcase between some of the best high school teams in the country. Scottie Lewis and Alex Klatsky were there for Ranney School while Omar Payne was representing for Montverde Academy. This was a great chance to see the incoming Gators against some great competition and they didn’t disappoint. Here is what went down.
The first game of the day was Ranney versus Federal Way High School, a team featuring the #5 player in the 2019 recruiting class named Jaden McDaniels, a 6’10”, 200 pound forward that has scouts comparing him to a young Kevin Durant with his scoring ability and skill at that size.
