The second and final FABC Conrad P. Foss Boys Live Period Showcase of June was held at the Alachua County Sports & Entertainment Center in Gainesville. Teams from across Florida will compete throughout the weekend in front of college coaches from every level. Here are some notable standouts.
Brock Bass-Bonner (2027) Naples Classical: Bass‑Bonner is a 6’8 left‑handed scorer with multi‑level versatility and real offensive upside. He can get downhill, finish at the rim, create for others, and knock down perimeter shots. His handle is reliable enough to initiate offense when needed, but his greatest strength is operating off the ball and on the drive, where his size, touch, and lefty angles make him difficult to contain. He uses his length well defensively, both on closeouts and in positional matchups, and he uses his frame to contest and disrupt. Across the games observed, he averaged 22.3 points, Bass‑Bonner’s blend of size, scoring versatility, and defensive length has already drawn high‑major attention — highlighted by his recent offer from Florida State.
Ethan Knox (2028) Lakeland Christian School: Knox is an athletic guard that is explosive getting to the basket. He runs the floor well in transition, finishes through contact and finishes above the rim. He is patient on offense and never shies away from contact and is efficient from the free throw line. Defensively he uses his length well on closeouts and to disrupt passing lanes. Across the three games observed, he averaged 20.3 PPG, demonstrating consistent scoring impact. Currently a four‑star prospect, Knox’s athletic profile, scoring ability, and defensive tools suggest he’ll continue to draw increased recruiting attention as he rounds out his overall game.
Brandon Perkins (2027) Gibbs: Perkins is a true pass‑first point guard who can score when needed and brings complete command to an offense. He controls pace, engineers the offense, and consistently uses his quick first step to get into the paint — either finishing himself or creating high‑percentage looks for others. In the win over Cardinal Newman, he dominated the game without needing to score, posting 5+ assists and 6+ steals while adding just three points. His ability to dictate tempo, pressure the ball defensively, and keep the offense connected was the difference in the game. Across two additional observed matchups, he showed his scoring capability with back‑to‑back 17‑point performances, producing both at the rim and from the perimeter. Perkins is a poised floor general who impacts winning through pace control, paint touches, defensive pressure, and consistent playmaking.
Obi Edeoga (2028) Charlotte: Edeoga is a physical forward with impressive agility for his size. He moves well, has a soft touch around the rim, and consistently finishes plays through contact. His rebounding stands out, establishes position, and uses his frame to seal off opponents. Defensively, Edeoga uses his body to keep opponents from getting to their preferred spots, maintains strong positioning, and rarely gives up easy angles. His standout performance came against East Lake, where he posted a 22‑point, 12‑rebounddouble‑double, showcasing his ability to anchor both ends of the floor and impact winning.
A’Jayden Jenkins (2028) Wiregrass Ranch: Jenkins is a skilled scorer with outstanding body control and toughness. The combination of perimeter shooting and downhill finishing makes him a versatile offensive threat. He consistently finishes through contact, absorbing bumps and staying balanced enough to convert at the rim — often turning difficult drives into And‑1 opportunities. He also showed he can stretch the floor, connecting on six three‑pointers across the two charted games and averaging 21.5 PPG in those matchups. Jenkins is very aggressive on the defensive end with solid on ball defense by guarding his yard, understanding rotations, and applies pressure without sacrificing positioning.
Sebastein Lafranc (2028) Armwood: LaFranc is a savvy, fluid point guard with natural feel and pace control. He’s shifty with the ball, uses his quickness to attack downhill, and consistently gets to his spots in the mid‑range. He consistently applies pressure by attacking the rim, absorbing contact, and creating opportunities for others. His ability to “pop a shot” on balance or off movement keeps defenders honest, and he showed he can knock down perimeter jumpers when the defense sags. As a primary facilitator, he showcased real court vision (had 6-plus assists in games we observed) and decision‑making, balancing scoring (averaged 13 points in games we observed) with playmaking while conducting the offense and playing quality defense. He recently picked up an offer from Alcorn State.
Eric Nichols (2027) Wekiva: Nichols is an engineering‑minded point guard with a versatile scoring arsenal and strong decision‑making. He values the basketball each possession, plays with poise, and consistently creates efficient offense — both for himself and for teammates. Nichols pushes the tempo, finishes at the rim, and shows comfort scoring in a variety of ways — off the bounce, is lethal off the catch, and in transition. Across two charted games, Nichols scored 19 points in each, stripped the nets with 10 three‑pointers, showcasing the confidence is his stroke. In another observed game, he erupted for 28 points, reinforcing his ability to score at volume. He has active hands, moves his feet well and is disruptive on the defensive end. He also demonstrated composure late in a tight contest, managing possessions and making sound decisions.
