Hillcrest Prep’s talented 6-foot-4 junior guard Jeron Artest has made a decision to move to another prep program in the state – leaving his former Hillcrest Prep program after spending a full year at the program. Artest has decided to take his game and his next two years of eligibility to Bella Vista Prep. Artest, the son of former NBA player Ron “Metta Worldpeace” Artest, decided to leave the Hillcrest Prep program this weekend and announced it on social media. It is still unclear as to what actually made Artest leave Hillcrest, but he will look to begin playing with…
This fall, one of the forgotten prospects in Arizona’s 2019 Class was Westview High School’s 6-foot-4 senior guard D’Maurian Williams. Once considered as one of the elite prospects in the class, Williams saw his recruitment tail off quite a bit after a subpar spring and summer performance for himself. After seeing college programs waver in his recruitment, Williams looks prepared to have a huge senior season. Williams got off to an excellent start last week in his team’s narrow championship loss, 82-69, to Pinnacle High School in the championship of the Welcome to the Jungle pre-season tournament. In the loss to a very…
The early signing period for the 2019 Class is here, but will end on Wednesday, November 21st, after beginning on November 14th. With the end of the early signing period, the majority of Arizona’s top prospects will still be available this spring for college coaches to take a hard look at. While some of the top prospects have signed with college programs of their choice, there are still numerous prospects still available for college coaches to evalauate this high school season. Here are my top available prospects in Arizona’s 2019 senior class to watch for this high school season. There…
One of the top overall prospects in Arizona’s loaded 2019 CLass of prospects is Hillcrest Prep’s 6-foot-6, 205-pound senior guard Devan Cambridge. Cambridge has flown well below the recruiting radar since moving to the state of Arizona via Tennessee, but he is worthy of serious college attention from division-I programs. One of the most athletically gifted prospects in the West, Cambridge is a super b talent that should receive loads of recruiting attention this high school season. Last weekend, Cambridge, one of the most athletic performers in the West, proved it on Saturday, as he helped lead the team to the…
The Moon Valley Rockets (0-1) this high school season will be looking to get back to being considered one of the top overall teams in the state’s 4A Division this season, and two major reasons for the high hopes this season for the Rockets rest solely on the shoulders of two gifted junior prospects. 6-foot-2 junior point guard Trent Hudgens (pictured) and 6-foot-3 junior guard Ty Harper will have the Rockets among the most exciting teams to watch this high school season. Hudgens and Harper will be worth the price of admission every night out, as these two young men…
Sunnyslope High School (1-0) is back to start another season, after winning the last two 5A State Championships and appearing in the last three consecutive state championship games. After so much success over the past three seasons, all of the usual suspects from the last three state title runs are each gone and have moved on to college. This year’s group will look a lot different this season, but after a big opening round victory Monday evening over an outmatched Sturgeon Composite High School (Canada) team in the first round of their Hoopsgiving Basketball Tournament, this year’s team looks to be much…
Hillcrest Prep has been in the news lately, after returning from a 10-day travel to China recently – a trip in which the team blew out their competition and gained loads of international playing experience. The valuable experience gained from playing against strong competition across the world seemed to have made a major difference for the Hillcrest Prep South team, as they faced a very talented Prolific Prep (CA) team on Saturday night. It was either that, overcoming jetlag from the trip or the fact that they lost their game on Friday evening against Balboa (CA), that allowed the team to propel ahead of…
