The state of Arizona continues to reel in top-rated basketball talent at an all-time level unlike anything ever seen before. Recently, when the exciting Pangos All-Amercian Camp took place in Los Angeles, CA, no one had realized that star, 6-foot-6, 180-pound rising senior 5-star wing prospect Marjon Beauchamp would be leaving the state of Washington to also move to Arizona, where he will now attend defending Grind Session National Champion Bella Vista Prep. Beauchamp is a gifted and talented wing prospect that is able to play several positions on the floor. A long and skilled athletic performer with excellent length…

The state of Arizona continues to reel in top-rated basketball talent at an all-time level unlike anything ever seen before. Recently, when the exciting Pangos All-Amercian Camp took place in Los Angeles, CA, no one had realized that star, 6-foot-6, 180-pound rising senior 5-star wing prospect Marjon Beauchamp would be leaving the state of Washington to also move to Arizona, where he will now attend defending Grind Session National Champion Bella Vista Prep. Bella Vista had a terrific season this past year – winning a national title on the Grind Session. But the program lost a lot to graduation, as…
Now that the Spring Evaluation period has come to a close, and as we begin the busy summer months of June and July, here are some excellent sleeper prospects that emerged during the spring that I was very impressed with that college coaches need to know about . . . Mayen Maen 6-7 JR SF/PF AZ Compass Prep – 2021 Class Maen (pictured) was easily one of the best overall sleeper prospects that I saw this spring, as he is a versatile prospect with that is able to play inside and out. He has a very good overall skill level…
With the spring evaluation period now coming to an end across the country, and as college programs have now turned their attention towards younger prospects, there are still some top-rated members of the 2019 Class still on the recruiting board. Here are my top available prospects still on board for the summer for college coaches to still take a very hard look at (in no particular order) – four-year colleges and junior colleges . . . D’Maurian Williams 6-4 SR PG/SG Westview HS Williams is very impressive in his ability to play the game of basketball and make plays for…
So many of Arizona’s top-rated prospects are generating loads of Division-I interest these days. One previous forgotten top-rated prospect in the state was formerly Higley High School’s 6-foot-8, 215-pound rising senior forward Jason Harris. After receiving a Top-10 National Player Ranking as a freshman prospect, Harris saw his overall player ranking and recruitment stagnate after suffering an injury during the summer before his junior season. Now Harris is back to form and picking back up where he left off. Harris is one of the nation’s top overall football prospects, so it has been an interesting high school career for Harris,…
No Arizona prospect has blown up more this spring than Desert Vista High School’s rapidly developing 6-foot-9, 185-pound rising senior post Osasere Ighodaro. In fact, this young man has quickly become, in a short period of time, one of the hottest prospects in the country. Ighodaro has seen his college recruitment completely ignite since the end to the high school season. After receiving some very good offers as of late, Ighodaro has now received another big offer from the University of Arizona, along with many other offers as well. On Saturday afternoon, Ighodaro received another big offer for himself, as…
No prospect blew up more during the spring evaluation period than the sharp-shooting 6-foot-4, 180-pound junior combo-guard prospect Alem Huseinovic. After a strong performance during his junior season, where he helped lead Chaparral High School to a 6A State Championship runner-up performance, Huseinovic saw his college recruitment rise to completely another level while playing for his club program. Recently, Huseinovic would give a big verbal commitment to a top-rated West program, while also deciding to change high school programs for his future. The University of Nevada had a terrific showing this past college season under the leadership of former Head Coach…
Possibly the state’s best sleeper prospect currently is Hillcrest Prep’s 6-foot-6, 180-pound senior guard/forward Devan Cambridge. After going through his entire senior season somehow without any true offers, the gifted wing prospect has just received a tremendous offer from a top-rated program in the Big-12 Conference. This past season, Devan Cambridge was a very consistent top performer on a loaded Hillcrest Prep roster. In numerous games this season and against top-rated national competition, Cambridge played at a high level and proved just how good he was as a future college prospect. While college programs have not made their commitment to…
In very surprising fashion on Monday afternoon, it was announced that one of the state’s elite young talented prospects, 6-foot-4 rising sophomore guard De’Vontes Cobbs has enrolled at rising local prep power AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona. Cobbs was an impressive starter last season for 4A defending State Champion Shadow Mountain High School, and helped lead the program to another state championship and a nice 26-3 overall record on the season. Cobbs has enrolled at AZ Compass Prep for his sophomore season, and will join a nice cast of other top-rated prospects that look to be moving to the…
Local prep power Hillcrest Prep has been on an absolute tear this off-season in reeling in top-rated elite national talent for their basketball program. Organizers Nick Weaver, Matt Allen and Head Coach Howard Thomas have significantly raised their level of talent at the dominant prep program over the last month, and are now introducing stud 6-foot-3, 160-pound rising sophomore guard Dior Johnson to the program. Dior Johnson is flat out big time as a guard prospect – currently rated among the top overall players in America’s 2022 Class and has many division-I offers already to go with it. A native…
