Caleb Gaskins
#20Miami
Scout Report
When you're the #20 recruit in the nation but still might be the third-best player on your own high school team, you know you're part of something special.
Background
The Melbourne, Florida native has found himself in an unprecedented situation at Christopher Columbus High School in Miami, where he teams up with Duke-bound twin brothers Cameron and Cayden Boozer to form one of the most talented prep lineups in recent memory. Playing alongside such elite company has accelerated Gaskins' development while providing him a unique opportunity to showcase his skills against top-tier competition on a nightly basis. His journey through South Florida's basketball hotbed has shaped him into one of the most coveted power forwards in his class.
Playing Style
At 6-8, Gaskins brings the versatility that modern college programs covet in their frontcourt players, combining solid interior presence with the mobility to step out and contribute on the perimeter. His ability to complement star teammates while still asserting his own impact speaks to his basketball IQ and unselfish approach to the game. The power forward shows promise as both a rim protector and rebounder, using his length effectively around the basket while displaying the footwork needed to defend multiple positions. Playing in Columbus's up-tempo system has helped refine his transition game and ability to run the floor for a player of his size.
Recruitment
With 18 Division I offers from programs like Florida, Texas A&M, Cincinnati, Indiana, and Texas, Gaskins ultimately chose to stay close to home by committing to Miami. His commitment gives the Hurricanes a versatile frontcourt piece who should fit seamlessly into their style of play while providing the program with a key building block for the future. The #20 national ranking in the 2026 class reflects his potential to develop into an impact player at the highest level.
