After moving to the state of Arizona last fall from Chicago, after a storied national career as a youngster, Arcadia High School’s talented 6-foot-3, 185-pound rising senior point guard Jaylin Fleming is now getting settled after a good junior season and a strong performance this spring for himself. Fleming surprisingly left the city of Chicago in the fall to travel to the state of Arizona to attend Hillcrest Prep Academy, but after he and his family did not like what was happening at the school, he decided to enroll at Arcadia High School. It was a very difficult ride for…

It was a coming-out-party for Perry High School’s 6-foot-2 sophomore guard Jalen Williams this weekend in New York @ The Rumble In The Bronx basketball tournament, as Williams would lead his I-10 Celtics 16U team to a semi-final finish in the U16 Division of the event. In the process, Williams averaged 26 points per/game and displayed some superior shooting of the basketball in the event – raising many eyebrows of scouts and media in attendance in the process. Many marveled at this young man’s ability to shoot the basketball and, flat out, play the game. Williams would convert numerous three-pointers…
One of the better sleeper prospects in Arizona’s 2018 class is Tri-City Christian Academy 6-foot-8 rising senior post Isaiah Alonzo. While Alonzo plays in the CAA Conference for one of the state’s elite charter school programs, many Arizona basketball enthusiasts have not seen this young man perform, but he is a good looking prospect with a nice offensive skillset. Alonzo has not been relied on heavily by head coach Paul Brown over the past two seasons to score much or put up big overall numbers, but next season as a senior he will be expected to do much more for…
Arizona’s 2019 class of prospects is absolutely loaded with talent. One of the top overall prospects in the class is Red Mountain High School’s big, strong and wide-bodied post player Andre Harris. Harris is a nice talent with a bright future ahead of him, with continued hard work. There are very few, if any, other players in the state like Harris. This young man possesses excellent physical size and athleticism, which makes him a very difficult guard for opposing teams and players. He is a mis-match consistently for teams, as he is physically bigger and stronger than most post opposition…

Currently, Sosinski is on an official recruiting visit to Cal-State Northridge, and also is planning to take an official recruiting visit this weekend to Jacksonville. He also has offers from Albany, Central Connecticut State and several other East…
While it is getting very late in the recruiting process for college prospects, and with very few good post prospects available currently in the West, Mesa Junior College 6-foot-10, 250-pound sophomore post Ed Hardt is still considering his options for school this fall. Hardt became available this spring after receiving his release from his national letter of intent from Seattle University. Hardt signed with Seattle before the start to the 2016-2017 junior college season. Projected as the top overall true low-post prospect in the conference before the season, Hardt would see limited playing time this junior college season, as the…
Another one of the top overall prospects in the state of Arizona is a member of a very talented 2019 Class of prospects. Scottsdale Christian Academy 6-foot-8, 210-pound rising junior post Ethan Spry is a skilled and gifted young post prospect with a bright future ahead of him. Spry is a member of Scottsdale Christian Academy, one of the better basketball programs in the state consistently over the past 20 years. Under the quality leadership of long-time head coach Bob Fredericks, Spry has developed a great deal early in the process and has an advanced skill level, which will benefit…
One of the top overall prospects in Arizona’s loaded 2019 Class of prospects is NFL Yet 6-foot-4 rising junior wing Shekeedren Bryant. Coming off an excellent showing last season for himself, and leading his team to a 1A State Championship, Bryant is one of the better overall prospects in the state that many have not heard about. This past high school season, Bryant was terrific, as he helped lead his team to a tremendous 30-2 overall record on the season. For his efforts last season, Bryant averaged 13.9 points, 7 rebounds and 2.8 steals per/game. Bryant is a tremendous young…
