While it was not formally announced at this weekend’s Arizona Preps Fall Showcase event, the most impressive performance from this weekend’s event was turned in by Casa Grande High School’s 6-foot-4, 185-pound senior guard Gresyn Rogers, as selected by our Arizona Preps staff. Rogers really impressed scouts and media in attendance with his performance in this year’s event – enough to earn Tournament Most Valuable Player honors. One of the most under recruited prospects in Arizona’s 2016 class, Rogers is still an uncommitted prospect in the class. Rogers advised me that while he still has yet to earn any scholarship…

Findlay has serious financial backing, dominant nationally-recognized players and an NCAA accredited course curriculum. While other prep programs have proven to have one or the other, no prep program has had all three aspects. Arizona’s own Westwind Prep Academy was very successful in their own right for numerous years – developing and producing…
