Harry Santiago, Pensacola State–The Florida-bred guard brings a toughness and tenacity that enables Santiago to play way bigger than his 6-foot, 160-pound frame.
A dogged defender who is pesky both on the ball and off it, Santiago applied consistent pressure and sets a tone with his confrontational style.
Offensively, Santiago is a buoyed by a blur quick first step and ability to finish around the rim in crafty fashion.
Santiago, who was Palm Beach County Player of the Year while at Grandview Prep (Boca Raton, Fla.), had multiple games of 12+ assists during his time at Miami Prep under Juan Cardona.
He’s got the potential to be a steal at the low to mid major level, depending on how he fares this season.
Camryn Reed, Western Oklahoma State–The deadly spot up shooter went unsung as one of the best knockdown guys in the country at Ada High in Oklahoma. The obscurity factor played into him slipping through the cracks, recruiting wise.
Now Reed, who had multiple games of five 3-pointers or more as a senior last season, will look to make a loud impact. He’s a major kickout and catch and shoot presence, with a consistent stroke and the ability to spread the floor out and soften the defense.
Reed has also polished up his all around arsenal, with a tightened handle and an ability to hit fall away bankers in traffic. A high academic prospect, Reed boasts a 4.0 GPA.
Reed has the look of a late bloomer after expanded his game his senior year, developing a knack for finishing around the rim and through contact.

Torrin Andrews, Palm Beach State –The local Palm Beach County product is a 6-foot-3 combination guard capable of lighting up big stages and altering the flow of the game when he seizes the hot hand.
Andrews, who had several games of 25+ points while at Rocktop Academy (PA), shot 44 percent from 3-point range last season.
This year, as a sophomore, Andrews will play a more prominent role. He scored 23 points (7-for-14 FG, 2-5 3FG) to go with six assists and five boards during the team’s aforementioned loss to Eastern Florida State.
