Holding on to the top spot at this position in the class is one of our top overall prospects in the class, Gilbert Christian High School’s athletic 6-foot-4 senior guard Cameron Satterwhite.  Satterwhite was previously committed to the University of Colorado, after giving a huge verbal commitment just before the spring.  Satterwhite…

On Thursday evening I had an opportunity to attend open gym at Corona Del Sol amidst many college coaches, while watching rising superstar 6-foot-2 junior guard Alex Barcello perform in an open gym with his Corona teammates.  Barcello looked terrific on the evening and proved why this season will be an epic one for him. Barcello looked physically impressive on the evening, as he showcased his very athletic frame.  He competed hard on the night and showed off his terrific skillset.  I was also able to catch up with him after the games on the evening and discuss many things,…

Gilbert High School’s 6-foot-7 senior wing Chris Bowling needed a strong performance this club season to boost his college recruitment, and he was up for the challenge.  Bowling would have numerous strong performances on the summer club circuit, including a big performance in the championship game of the Pangos Sweet 16, as he would lead his club program, the Arizona Magic Elite, to the tournament championship with a gutty performance.  As a result, Bowling would receive several scholarship offers for himself. While Bowling has still yet to garner as much division-I interest as expected, he has received division-I offers thus…

No prospect in Arizona’s 2016 class helped themselves more this club season than Sunrise Mountain High School’s talented 6-foot-6 senior wing Elijah Thomas.  Thomas absolutely blew up this after several strong performances.  As a result, Thomas has seen his college recruitment soar as of late. I caught up with Thomas’ club coach Kenny Mullins of the Arizona Magic Elite this week and he advised me that Thomas is currently receiving loads of division-I interest.  Thomas currently has offers on the table from Memphis, Saint Mary’s, Grand Canyon, Long Beach State, Nevada, Cal State Fullerton, Colorado State and Fresno State.  Thomas…

Since the end to the high school season, St. Mary’s High School’s 6-foot-10 sophomore post prospect KJ Hymes has seen his value to college coaches increase tremendously.  After a strong summer for himself, Hymes proved to college coaches that he is worthy of early recruitment, and at such a level that suggests he will develop into what I thought early on – an elite high major prospect. This week, Hymes has received two high-major division-I offers in fine fashion.  He first received a huge offer from Georgia Tech, then he followed that up with another big offer from Memphis University and…
