The basics
Gaskins transferred to Christopher Columbus ahead of his freshman season, per CanesInsight, which also has him playing club basketball for Nightrydas. ESPN lists him at 6-foot-7 and 205 pounds on its class of 2029 board. Listed as a PF at Christopher Columbus, and he appears on the Florida board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
ESPN ranks Gaskins No. 4 in its class of 2029 top 25. Prep Hoops placed him No. 2 nationally in a January 2025 look at the class and described him as combining size, power, and athleticism with a relentless offensive approach. Phenom Hoops wrote that he attacks downhill, embraces contact, and defends multiple positions for his size.
Production
CanesInsight reported that Gaskins scored 20 points with five rebounds and a block at Peach Jam in July 2025, playing for the Nightrydas 15U team.
The recruitment
CanesInsight reported in July 2025 that Miami had extended an offer, joining Florida State, Cincinnati, and Sam Houston State. We have found no verified reporting of offers since then. He is uncommitted.

He is uncommitted. The Gaskins vs. McDaniel head-to-head is the house piece that sits next to this card. I would take the Christopher Columbus winter on Gaskins before I move No. 1. 20 points is already in.
What to watch
Does his outside shooting extend far enough to pull opposing bigs away from the rim? How does he hold up defending on the perimeter as he sees more varsity guards?
