One of the elite overall prospects in the state ended her college recruitment early, but she is still working hard to be the best basketball player she can be and has been very successful in doing so. PHH Prep’s strong and gifted 5-foot-7 senior guard Tryanna Crisp (Arizona State commit) gave an early commitment to the Sun Devils, where she will look to make an immediate impact and have a great college career. The commitment has not slowed Crisp down one bit, as she continues to torch her competition. Crisp is our #3 ranked prospect in Arizona’s 2022 senior class…

One prospect that resides in the state of Arizona is bigger than any other prospect in his class, and will have big-time college recruitment very early in the recruiting process is Dream City Christian Prep’s 7-foot rising freshman post Maper Maker. A mere member of America’s 2025 Class, Maker is as big as it gets – physically and in his future college recruitment. This young man came to the state last summer, and has already made tremendous strides as a player and as a college prospect. While most scouts, media and college coaches have not seen this young man yet,…
One of our top overall prospects in Arizona’s 2022 Class for girls prospects in the state is off the recruiting board, as skilled PHH Prep’s 6-foot rising senior guard prospect Hannah Robbins has found her fit for college. This week, Robbins announced her college decision to attend the University of New Mexico, where she will follow in her father’s footsteps at the terrific college basketball program. Robbins is one of our elite prospects in Arizona’s 2022 Class, and she is a sure-fire college talent with a nice overall skill level and size for the collegiate ranks. Robbins has had a…
Another one of the elite young prospects in the state of Arizona is a member of the 2026 Class – rising 5-foot-11 8th grader John Mattingly. Mattingly is one of the premier middle school prospects in the state and one to definitely watch for the future. Mattingly has made a lot of noise within the Arizona basketball community as a result of his exploits on the basketball court. After observing Mattingly and his ability to play the game, here are some reasons why I believe this young man’s future to be extremely bright in Arizona basketball. Mattingly has built a…
Another top performer this spring and early summer from Arizona’s 2022 Class of prospects is St. Mary’s High School’s ultra-athletic 6-foot-6 rising senior wing Garrison Phelps. After a strong junior season performance where he helped lead his Knights to a 4A State Championship, Phelps has not slowed down a bit – turning in consistent strong performances all spring and now summer. Phelps has risen to another level in his play, which should make him one of the most sought after recruiting targets in the class this summer. Phelps has yet to see his college recruitment officially take off, as a…
We recently wrote about the level of talent of Bella Vista Prep’s 6-foot-8 senior wing Jamel King, and him now being available in his college recruitment. Well, King wasn’t available long, as this week, in very exciting fashion, King received an offer and gave a verbal commitment to one of the strongest basketball programs in the country. King became the last commitment for the University of West Virginia and their 2021 recruiting class. King was offered a scholarship by the previous University of New Mexico staff, and he gave a verbal commitment, but when new head coach Richard Pitino took over the…
Another one of my favorite prospects that is also on the rise in Arizona’s 2022 Class is Apollo High School’s athletic and versatile 6-foot-1 rising senior guard Ahamed Mohamed. Mohamed is a serious talent that has had numerous strong performances when I have seen him compete, and will be a prospect on the rise in our next Player Rankings for Arizona Preps. College coaches are also beginning to take notice of the unique talent Mohamed has as a college prospect. Mohamed has flown well below the recruiting radar for some time now, due to the COVID pandemic. As a result,…
One of our top overall prospects in Arizona’s 2022 Class of prospects is Mesquite High School’s gifted 6-foot-3, 165-pound rising senior guard Nate Calmese. Calmese is already rated among our top overall prospects in the class, but is one prospect that will be on the rise in our next player rankings, as he is coming off a terrific individual performance in last weekend’s Section 7 Event in Glendale, and will look to have a tremendous summer campaign for hismelf, and should look to garner much more recruiting attention. Calmese has had a strong high school career for himself, but since…
(Picture courtesy of 247 Sports) One of the hottest overall prospects from last weekend’s amazing Section 7 Event held at State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona, was Perry High School’s gifted and promising 6-foot-8 rising junior wing Cody Williams. While for many college coaches in attendance, it was the first time they had seen Williams’ glaring upside as a college prospect, it only validated what we have known here @ Arizona Preps for some time. Williams is a serious target in America’s 2023 Class. Perry was one of the most sought after programs competing in the Section 7 Event last…
The wait is finally over, coming to an end last weekend as the Section 7 Event kicked off and took the state of Arizona, and Arizona basketball as a whole, to completely another level. While waiting for the moment for college coaches to hit the road again during an NCAA Evaluation period, basketball enthusiasts, players, high school and club coaches, and even college coaches got much more than they bargained for with the Section 7. The Arizona basketball community wanted a chance to see top prospects physically evaluated once more by college coaches, after a long pandemic season that damaged…
