Dante Allen, Nightrydas Elite: The 6’4 rising senior, now at Montverde Academy, was extremely steady in his play in Nike’s EYBL.  At both sessions I and IV Allen received second team all-event honors while for session III he was accorded a third team selection. For the four sessions that made up the EYBL Spring Season, Allen was somehow designated only “honorable mention” status despite averaging 14.7 points a contest to go along with his earlier honors.  This must not have sat well and he used Peach Jam to make his case.  He averaged just over 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per contest as the Nightrydas went 8-0 to win the championship.  In the title game, Allen led the team with 21 points.  A consistent producer and winner, Allen should make an instant impact at whatever collegiate basketball program is fortunate enough to get his signature on a National Letter of Intent.

C.J. Ingram, Florida Rebels: A 6’5 rising senior who will spend his senior year at Orlando Oakridge after being a two-sport star at Hawthorne, Ingram supposedly is focusing on basketball his senior season.  That decision must have cleared his mind and elevated his game in the summer.  He gave college coaches a glimpse of what he can provide at the next level during the spring, earning All-Breakout honors after EYBL Session II and then third team honors at Session III.  For his efforts, Ingram was accorded a place on the EYBL Spring Sessions All-Breakout team.  In June, he attended the prestigious Pangos All-American Camp and was considered one of the standouts of the event.  Later that same month, he joined his new teammates at Oakridge at the highly competitive Section 7 team camp in Arizona and helped lead the Pioneers to the title game in their division.  At Peach Jam in front of a plethora of college coaches from all levels, Ingram took his game up more than a notch.  He put up nearly 17 points and 5 rebounds a contest, five points a game above his EYBL spring average.  For that he earned Peach Jam second team honors.  Just recently, Ingram verbally committed to the University of Florida for his collegiate career.

Josh Lewis, Florida Rebels: A 6’7 rising senior from Tampa Blake, Lewis is already committed to hometown University of South Florida.  According to the EYBL website, Lewis finished as the #2 overall rebounder over the course of the league’s four spring sessions, grabbing 9.8 rebounds a game.  He also scored 11.2 points a contest which earned him a spot on the EYBL All-Breakout Team.  Lewis was invited to the Pangos All-American Camp and was considered a standout there by assorted national media.  Lewis’ all-around skill level and versatility should translate well at the collegiate level.

Alex Lloyd, Nightrydas Elite: The 6’4 rising senior from Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale was unsurprisingly solid as the Nightrydas ran through the EYBL to the championship.  Lloyd was noted as an EYBL Session I third team performer, Session II honorable mention and Session IV second team selection.  Those performances led him to being named to the EYBL Spring All-Breakout Team as he averaged nearly 13 points a contest.  Earlier in the spring, Lloyd committed to the University of Florida.  With that decision made, his stats at the Peach Jam were not stellar but he most definitely gave the team what it needed on its 8-0 run for the week.  A perimeter combo of Ingram and Lloyd for the Gators in the coming years should be very exciting.

Jalen Reece, Florida Rebels: The 6’1 rising senior at Orlando Oakridge exploded out of the gate to start the EYBL season, earning Session I first team honors.  At sessions III and IV, Reece received Honorable Mention honors.  He finished the EYBL Spring Sessions ranked #8 overall in assists at 4.4 per game on his way to earning Honorable Mention accolades.  He was a catalyst in leading Oakridge to the title game at Section 7 out west.  When he and the Rebels returned to the EYBL and the Peach Jam, Reece came in more than ready to go.  He averaged almost 11 points a contest and led the Peach Jam in steals with 3.2 a game.  For this he was named second team all-defense and third team overall for the event.  A lot of high major schools have come calling and Reece will be given every opportunity to run the show the moment he steps foot on the college campus of his choice.
