- Carter Welling 6’10 PF Corner Canyon 2021 (#9PHU) (featured image) – Currently has D1 offers from Cal Poly, UC Irving, and Utah Valley St, however, there is probably more out there for a player of his size and skill level. Good rim runner, soft-touch decent R&J athlete.
- Calvin Schmeling 6’5 SG 2021 – Shout out to Northwest Nazarene assistant coach Chris Foss who first put Schmeling on my radar. He was correct as the lanky wing is going to be an absolute steal for any program he ends up at. Good scorer that can make shots, create and defend.
- Chris Dockery Chris Dockery 6'5" | SF Bonanza | 2021 CA-S 6’5 SF 2021 – Dockery is at 3 on this list only because I’m not quite sure if he’s a sleeper anymore. A long versatile defender with the athletic ability to finish in transition and guard multiple positions, Docker has become a high valued recruit over the last few months.
- Blessing Nwotite Blessing Nwotite 6'2" | SG Paradise Honors | 2022 State AZ 6’2 SG Paradise Honors 2022 (#35PHA 2022) – So I’m not exactly sure what position Nwotite is, however that may be to his advantage. He has a good frame and can score from multiple levels. Played well all week for PH and I can see him becoming one of the top 3rd option players in Arizona.
- Jake Blazona Jake Blazona 5'11" | PG Santa Margarita | 2021 State CA-S 5’11 PG Santa Margarita (#99PHSC 2021) – If you’re looking for a winning basketball player then look no further. The fiesty PG plays with a chip on his shoulder to go along with a high IQ and good defensive toughness. Probably will end up being a small college school player that goes on to start 100 games in his career.
