One of the top overall prospects in the state has been preparing for this all of his young life – to play basketball at the highest level. Over the past two seasons, St. Mary’s High School’s gifted 6-foot-2 rising junior point guard prospect Styles Phipps has made a major name for himself through playing at a high level and being so young. Now entering his junior season, Phipps will be asked to lead a St. Mary’s basketball program that has lost some key players from last year’s team to graduation and to transfers. This is only setting up Phipps to…
St. Mary’s High School will look a lot different next high school season, after the recent loss of more players from their starting roster. While Head Coach Damin Lopez and his Knights’ program were looked to be building a strong basketball dynasty several years ago, now the Knights’ coaching staff is looking to simply build a strong team for the season. After losing star guard Jason Fontenet to a transfer last season, now the St. Mary’s program has lost the services of 6-foot-7 senior forward Seydou Tamboura. Recently, Tamboura decided to leave St. Mary’s and now has landed at PHH…
One of the nation’s top 2024 prospects now resides in Arizona @ one of the nation’s premier prep programs – AZ Compass Prep. AZ Compass Prep has retooled again and will be among the most talented prep programs in the country again, especially after the addition of 6-foot-8, 215-pound rising junior forward Pharoah Compton to this season’s roster. Compton is a superb talent with an ability to dominate the paint through his relentless activity, rebounding and finishing ability.

One of the most underrated prospects in Arizona’s 2023 Class, I believe, is Campo Verde High School’s talented 6-foot-2 senior point guard Isaiah Kai. One of the most cerebral point guard prospects that I have seen in the West, Kai is an excellent guard prospect with an excellent feel for the game and an ability to make players around him much better. While he currently has several offers on the table for himself, this young man is one of my favorite prospects, and is well worthy of much higher and more college recruitment. While I am a firm believer in…
One of the most gifted prospects in Arizona’s 2023 Class will soon have a college decision to make, but the question will be whether it will be this fall or in the spring. Brophy Prep’s 6-foot-6, 195-pound senior wing prospect Arman Madi has a solid list of Division-I offers for himself, but did not generate many offers this spring and summer. This will be a very interesting fall recruiting period for Madi, as he will need to make a decision on whether to give a commitment this fall, or wait until the spring to make his college decision. Arman Madi…
It took some time for ultra-talented and athletic 6-foot-8 rising junior college sophomore Isaiah Broady to make his college decision, after deciding to transfer from Jacksonville a few months ago. After considering many options for himself, and also numerous other Division-I programs, Broady has decided to stay close to home and sign a national letter of intent with Scottsdale Junior College and Head Coach Mark Bunker and his staff.

Arizona’s 2023 Class is very talented and numerous prospects in the class have received their share of college recruitment, but there are numerous prospects in the class that have not. One of the top overall prospects in the class that is one of my favorite sleeper prospects is PHHoenix Prep’s 6-foot-8 senior wing Jahki Gupton. With only one Division-I offer to his credit currently, this young man is well deserving of much more college recruitment, and is coming off a good spring and summer showing for himself. Gupton has been one of my favorite prospects now for some time, and…
Arizona’s 2025 Class is loaded with top-notch talent for the future, and two of the elite guard prospects in the class reside at Notre Dame Prep. After a strong freshman season where they led Notre Dame Prep to a 19-9 overall record on the season, 6-foot-3 sophomore guard Bryce Quinet and 5-foot-11 sophomore guard Brennan Peterson will be back this season to pick up where they left off as freshman starters for Head Coach Luke DallaRiva. Both prospects had excellent middle school careers and came in very highly touted, so their sophomore seasons should prove to be a breakout season…
Perry High School’s ultra-talented and gifted 6-foot-8, 180-pound senior guard Cody Williams absolutely blew up this spring and summer nationally among college coaches, scouts and media. Williams grew from simply being one of Arizona’s elite high school prospects, to becoming one of the elite overall prospects in America’s 2023 Class by ESPN and many other national scouting services. Fresh off concluding his play from this summer’s Nike EYBL circuit, Williams has announced his final (8) schools that he will consider in his college recruitment. As a result of his play over the past (6) months, Williams currently has a long list of…
