WPIAL 2025 AAU Standouts: Prep Hoops PA Rankings Update

<p>As the AAU basketball season moves forward, our Prep Hoops Rankings update for the summer continues with the players from the class of 2025 in the state of Pennsylvania. The staff here at Prep Hoops PA has diligently gathered information and worked extremely hard to develop an extraordinarily comprehensive list of 300 high school basketball student-athletes. These rising sophomores have the balance of talent to be the most heavily recruited group in a long time throughout the state. Many young men have been in constant communication with college coaches, while a variety of others are starting to garner attention as well. After the completion of the high school season and with AAU in full tournament mode, these skilled performers were standouts in the rankings for our current update. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>WESTERN PA 2025 AAU STANDOUTS:</strong></span></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1188623" first="Austin" last="Campbell"], 6’0, shooting guard</p> <p>HS: Mars, AAU: PK Flash, A skilled shooter with the ability to "knock down" shots from a good amount of spots on the floor.
