Ok! One last Guess The Team before we announce the tournament participants next month. Remember, guess the team correctly on our social media posts and you're entered for your chance to win a pair of tickets! 

Good Luck!

The school is relatively new on the scene as a high school basketball powerhouse, but it's clearly among the elite, especially after last season. It's a Culligan City of Palms Classic mainstay, but its all-time record at the tournament is barely above .500. It's never produced an NBA All-Star, but two first-round picks in the last three years have come from the school, and many more are poised to follow.
 
It's time again to play guess the team, with two reserved tickets to see this team in action at the 2019 Culligan City of Palms Classic waiting for the lucky contest winner. Keep an eye on the Culligan City of Palms Classic Facebook page, where we'll be making a contest post soon. Comment with your guess, and if you're correct, you'll be entered to win our random drawing for the tickets.
 
Oh, and one more hint: The school barely missed out on having another NBA first-round draft pick this year. Think hard!

The "back" in "back to school" doesn't apply to many top-flight high school basketball players. They're off to new schools instead, taking advantage of a transfer system that essentially allows free movement throughout the country.
 
The result for teams often resembles what happens in the pros. One school's homegrown talent becomes another's instant upgrade. And in some cases, it happens twice. Jalen Johnson, the No. 4 prospect in ESPN's 2020 recruiting rankings, just transferred to 2018 Culligan City of Palms Classic participant IMG Academy (Bradenton), one year after making an in-state move from Sun Prairie (Wisconsin) to Nicolet.
 
Johnson, who'll move on to Duke next year, instantly becomes the linchpin of an absurdly talented team that includes Culligan City of Palms Classic veterans Jaden Springer and Noah Farrakhan along with fellow A-list transfers Mark Williams and Matt Murrell. All of them are in ESPN's top 100 recruits for 2020.

Perhaps no team represented the nexus of where the Culligan City of Palms Classic began and where it is now better than the 1996-97 Miami Senior Stingarees.
 
The squad was a national powerhouse with future Miami Heat mainstay Udonis Haslem, an elite team befitting the pre-eminent status the Culligan City of Palms Classic has maintained for the more than 20 years since. That Miami Senior team was also the last Florida public school to win the Culligan City of Palms Classic, a description that fit the first 16 champs amid the tournament's humble beginnings.
 
The Stings rolled into the Culligan City of Palms Classic as defending Florida Class 6A champs, boasting a dominant pedigree that included six state titles in the previous 10 years. Five of those titles came under legendary coach Marcos "Shakey" Rodriguez, who'd left to take over the program at Florida International in 1995.
 
The man who filled the void went on to become even more well-known.....
