One very underrated prospect and a very good sleeper prospect for college programs to take a very hard look at is Bradshaw Mountain High School’s 6-foot-8, 220-pound senior post Nathan Summit. Summit is coming off a very good senior season for himself, while helping lead his Bradshaw Mountain program to a very good season in 2021. Summit is one of the elite prospects in Northern Arizona, and I really believe he is an excellent prospect for a smaller college program. Summit is a rare find in Northern Arizona, as he has excellent physical size and strength on a college-ready body…

Hillcrest Prep’s talented and physical 6-foot-10, 250-pound junior post Duke Brennan is definitely a prospect on the rise in Arizona’s 2022 Class. After receiving numerous offers over the past year, Brennan’s recruitment is heating up after strong performances already this spring. Brennan is a very rare find among low post prospects today, as he is very physical and plays as big as his size suggests – competing at a high level on both ends of the floor. He is very active on the glass and is a strong finisher around the paint – getting to the free-throw line quite often, as a…
St. Mary’s High School has been known for their basketball program in the state of Arizona for many years, as the school has had one of the most historic programs in the state – producing such high quality NBA veterans as Jerryd Bayless and Channing Frye. While the program has had an historic past, the program lost it’s luster over the years, as enrollment decreased and the program saw a shortage of serious basketball talent at the school. As a result, the school would take on a much different look from year’s past, when it produced loads of college talent. Instead, the program would…

AZ Compass Prep (28-2) saw the end to an historic season today in the GEICO Nationals in Fort Meyers, Florida, after falling in narrow fashion to the nation’s #1 ranked team and program, Montverde Academy (FL). After a last-second missed shot attempt bounced off the rim at the buzzer for AZ Compass, Montverde would hand AZ Compass their mere second loss of the season, with both season losses coming at the hands of Montverde. While Montverde would move on to advance to the GEICO National Championship game, Compass Prep would finish among the top four high school teams in America…
