<p>As the summer approaches, the rising senior class has a tremendous amount of depth within their talent pool of basketball players. Many of these young men performed at an extremely high level this past high school season. Now with spring AAU coming to a close in June, the summer session will look to pick up momentum as these skilled hoopers continue to showcase their abilities on the hardwood. Here at Prep Hoops Pennsylvania, we understand the need to provide quality information in our articles for the promotion of student-athletes throughout the state. The current class of 2023 is definitely one of the most talented and balanced groups we have seen in quite some time. With Western PA being known for their football prowess, these basketball players have shown that the hoop court has developed into a "hotbed" for recruiting from college coaches over the last few years. In this article, the amount of top performers garnering college attention has been outstanding for the region. Offers are continuing to be communicated to these boys for basketball from a variety of collegiate levels and the high academic institutions are expressing interest on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>After speaking with high school coaches, AAU coaches, prep scouting services, local media members, and other individuals involved in the day-to-day operations of high school/AAU basketball we have created a substantive list of "30" recruitable basketball players from the WPIAL coverage area. Please take a serious look at the wealth of talent and follow these young men on the journey from their senior year of high school to a college campus in the near future.</p>
