The exciting Pangos All-American Festival was held this weekend in Long Beach, California, @ McBride High School and was loaded as always with top-rated national level talent. Organized again by Event DIrector Dinos Trigonis and his Pangos staff, this year’s event had an extra push, as Puma sponsored the event with very nice uniforms and shoes for all of the participants, scouts and media. The event was loaded with Division-I talent, as the majority of prospects in action were still undecided on their college futures, while some have already given early commitments. The event was a two-day event and featured…

One of the top overall prospects in Arizona’s 2024 Class is a 3-sport star in the making and resides in Northern Arizona. Boulder Creek High School’s 6-foot-2, 185-pound rising junior guard Rowan McKenzie is a superb athletic talent that has excelled in each sport he plays, and is now regarded as one of the top guard prospects in the state. While still young, McKenzie is developing quickly into a superior talent in several sports and will carve out an excellent athletic high school career for himself, building a looming decision that he will need to make in the future, regarding…
One prospect that caught my attention this off-season with his play is Valley Vista High School’s talented 6-foot-5, 190-pound senior forward Dwayne Jones. A very unheralded prospect, Jones held his own against some of the state’s top opposition all spring and summer, and, I believe, will have a big senior season – a breakout season for Jones and the Valley Vista basketball program. We have already spoken about the potential season for Valley Vista in 2023, as Jones will team up again with sharp-shooting 6-foot-2 senior guard Aadem Isai to create one of the state’s top one-two punches this high…
One of the most underrated prospects in the state is set to have a big senior season. Valley Vista High School’s 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior guard prospect Aadem Isai is coming off a strong junior season for himself, and is regarded by our staff as one of the top guard prospects in Arizona’s 2023 Class. I absolutely love this young man’s ability to play the game, and believe he is among the top offensive performers in the state, regardless of class. While he does not currently have the recruitment to go with his unique ability to play the game, Isai is…
Perry High School’s 6-foot-8, 175-pound senior guard Cody Williams finished the 2022 high school basketball season as a local star, but now he has returned from the spring and summer as a national star. After leading Perry High School to this year’s 6A State Championship, Williams went into the spring ranked as the #51 player nationally by ESPN. After a strong spring and summer performance while traveling with Vegas Elite (NV) on the EYBL Nike-circuit, Williams returned as the #14 ranked prospect nationally by ESPN, and a lock now to become a 2023 McDonald’s All-American. Williams has built a tremendous…
This weekend in major national recruiting news, Hillcrest Prep’s star 6-foot-9, 185-pound junior forward Jason Asemota decided to end his college recruitment – giving a big verbal commitment to Baylor University, the 2021 NCAA National Champions. Asemota, the #22 overall prospect in America’s 2024 Class by ESPN, has been one of the hottest 2024 prospects in America for some time, as he received loads of Division-I offers over the past two years. This weekend, Asemota decided to end his college recruitment in surprising fashion – a decision that made national headlines on ESPN. Asemota’s decision to commit to Baylor and…
One of the elite overall prospects in America’s 2024 Class now resides at national prep basketball power AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona. The AZ Compass Prep program consistently sports an amazing roster annually, so it is always impressive to see who will land annually at the heavily Nike-sponsored basketball program. This time around and during the summer, the program announced the new and big addition of 6-foot-5, 185-pound junior guard Vyctorius Miller. A native of North Hollywood, CA, where he played for Crean Lutheran High School (CA), the addition of Miller to this year’s AZ Compass Prep program was…
One of my favorite prospects is set to have a breakout season in the Arizona Commmunity College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) this junior college season. Scottsdale Junior College will be very talented this season and will look to repeat as Division-II Champions. Head Coach Mark Bunker has retooled for the up-and-coming season, and his team’s success will benefit a great deal from the overall play of 6-foot-3, 190-pound sophomore guard Isaiah Floyd. Floyd had a nice freshman campaign for Scottsdale, and I expect him to do big things this sophomore season. Last season, as the season began, it seemed that Head…
