We have been following the recruitment of Brophy Prep’s 6-foot-4 senior guard Ryan Burbach closely this spring and summer, as he became one of the hottest overall prospects in the state this summer. Burbach went into the spring (2024) with no Division-I offers to his credit, but after consistent strong performances on the club circuit with a loaded AZ Select UAA group, and also with the Brophy Prep program through the off-season, Burbach became one of the state’s hottest overall prospects, as he garnered offers from numerous Division-I programs. After taking an official visit to the program, Burbach has decided…
It was a wild spring and summer in Arizona basketball, especially after we learned that terrific 6-foot junior guard John Mattingly had decided to change high school programs – leaving Sunnyslope for Central High School. We soon learned that Mattingly was not coming alone, but also was joined by Sunnyslope’s 5-foot-8 junior Dom Rojas and his younger brother and incoming freshman Grant Mattingly. This trio is set to lead the Central program to new heights this high school season, but I am expecting this to be an epic season for John Mattingly in particular, as he looks to begin his…

In last week’s Southwest Basketball Camp, there were numerous prospects that really helped themselves with their play in the event. Tucson Sahuaro High School’s 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior Jamal Ali was one of the top overall performers in the event, and benefited as much as anyone from his play in the camp. While I had previously seen and evaluated Ali as a college prospect, he has now developed a great deal and looks ready to now have a big senior season. Ali has made great strides during his high school career, and is just beginning to realize his potential as player…
One of the biggest surprises this summer involved the coaching change @ Notre Dame Prep, and also the departure of several players from the program. One of the big surprises for me was the transfer of 6-foot-1, 175-pound junior guard Brody Postorino, who decided to make the move to St. Mary’s High School – a very nice addition that will pay dividends for Head Coach Damin Lopez and his staff throughout the season. While merely a shooter last season for Notre Dame Prep, although a very good one, now Postorino will be asked to open up his full game and…

The attention on the Mesa program this high school season, gained through the addition of having Miles in a Mesa…
