TEAM PREVIEW:
How do you combat losing 2018 Flo40 big men Silvio De Sousa (No. 6, IMG Academy), Simisola Shittu (No. 7, Vermont Academy), and E.J. Montgomery (No. 13, Wheeler) to transfer? When you are a program like Montverde Academy, you reload. One of the nation's most successful high school squads -- posting a 134-10 mark with three national championships since coach Kevin Boyle took over in 2011-12 -- will heavily rely on a dominant crop of guards to challenge for a fourth DICK'S Nationals title in five years. This year's Eagles roster boasts elite returning sophomore RJ Barrett and transfers like 2018 Flo40 No. 40 Rechon Black to bring home the familiar hardware once again.
