We have been wondering when Division-I college programs would begin their recruitment of Perry High School’s promising young prospect, 6-foot-6 sophomore wing Cody Williams. Williams is among the state’s elite overall young prospects with loads of upside and potential for the future, and is off to a strong start to his sophomore season. This week, Williams’ recruitment took off, as he received two different Division-I offers for himself.

If you haven’t heard yet, Arizona basketball has quickly developed into a hot-bed for top-rated national basketball talent. While I predicted this situation would take place over time, as a result of the injection of successful prep programs being created throughout the state, no one could have predicted what has currently taken place, as the state has catapulted even further as a result of the development of The Grind Session, America’s top basketball circuit for the nation’s elite prep programs. Developed more than (5) years ago, after the need for a national prep circuit became more and more glaring, simply…

This season has been the best installment for the program, as they have been on an absolute tear all season long – compiling a very impressive 19-1 overall record. Last weekend they reached an…
There is always a shortage of true low-post talent in the country that can make an impact or a difference at the Division-I level, so when one is available it becomes very intriguing for college programs. One nice post talent that has emerged this prep season has been Dream City Christian Prep’s 6-foot-11, 210-pound junior post talent Birima Seck. Seck has been consistent in his approach all season long on the Grind Session for Dream City Christian, and is beginning to draw loads of division-I interest as a result. Seck is still developing a great deal as a college prospect,…
Boulder Creek’s Prior to this year, Boulder Creek 5-foot-6 gifted senior point guard Kayla Clark might have been one of the best prospects in the state, that you never heard of. Despite being a 4-year starter on a perennial Top 15 team in the largest conference in the state (6A’s Desert Valley Section); despite shooting over 73% from three-point range as a freshman (the highest in the league that year and in school history); despite averaging a team-leading 18 points per/game in her last full non-COVID club season (2019) on a national circuit, all the while carrying a 4.8 CUM…
Northern Arizona is often forget about when it comes to top-rated basketball prospects, but the region has had it’s share of basketball talent over the years. One prospect in the area that has soared well below the recruiting radar is Bradshaw Mountain 6-foot senior point guard Carter John. While not residing closer to the Phoenix area, John is a serious basketball talent that has absolutely destroyed defenses, and been a handful for the competition in Northern Arizona. This young man is one talented prospect that college coaches need to take notice of quickly. John is another casualty of the COVID-19…
