Class of 2024 – End of Summer Recruiting Updates

The AAU season has now completed and a number of rising juniors made an impression on college coaches. A handful from the Class of 2024 already hold scholarship offers – here’s a quick look at those players, their summer, and where they currently stand with their recruitment.

Terrence Hill Jr Terrence Hill Jr 6'2" | PG TBD | 2024 #175 Nation OR , Roosevelt

Playing with the Rose City Rebels, Hill finished the EYBL 16U circuit averaging 19.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists – his scoring good for fourth in the entire field. Going into the summer the Roosevelt point guard already held scholarship offers from Portland, Portland State, and San Francisco, and picked up a new one from Montana. When coaches could start calling him directly, his phone predictably lit up and schools like UCLA, Colorado, Loyola-Chicago, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, and Idaho State all reached out the very first day. He recently made an unofficial visit to Oregon State and the Beavers are recruiting him as well.

Austin Maurer Austin Maurer 7'0" | C Cascade Christian | 2024 State #143 Nation OR , Cascade Christian

Maurer also played on the EYBL but with the Oakland Soldiers, splitting time with the 16U and 17U squads. With 16U he averaged 11.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in April and then he got into a couple of games with the 17U team at the Peach Jam in July. The 6-foot-11 junior is skilled and dangerous with his ability to knock down threes. On the first day he could hear from college coaches, schools like South Carolina, Washington State, Colorado, St.Mary’s, Pepperdine, Idaho State, Eastern Washington, and Portland all called. Portland offered him a scholarship last fall and Sacramento State joined the mix this spring.

Pearson Carmichael Pearson Carmichael 6'6" | SG Summit | 2024 State OR , Summit

Perhaps the highest riser in the Class of 2024 ever since his breakout at the 6A state tournament, Carmichael kept the momentum going into the AAU season. With the California-based Players Play club program, he was able to showcase his skills up and down the West Coast and when coaches could start calling, he heard from Boise State, Colorado, Idaho State, Portland, Portland State, Southern Utah, UC Irvine, Eastern Washington, Princeton, and others. During the summer, in addition to the offer he picked up from Portland at state, he’s added offers from Pepperdine and most recently, UC San Diego.

Jaden Steppe Jaden Steppe 6'8" | SF Tualatin | 2024 State #258 Nation OR , Tualatin

On the EYBL 16U circuit with the Rose City Rebels, Steppe averaged 14.5 points and 7.8 rebounds while showing some of his perimeter shooting, hitting over 41 percent from three-point range. The 6-foot-7 junior currently holds two scholarship offers – San Francisco and Montana, the latter of which he received in late June.

Quincy Townsend Quincy Townsend 6'2" | CG Mountain View | 2024 State OR , Mountain View

Townsend competed with Oregon Prospects on one of their 16U squads where he was the primary ball-handler. The junior point guard with the ability to score and pass has already caught the attention of in-state schools and received his first scholarrship offer from Southern Oregon.

Kallen Gutridge Kallen Gutridge 6'4" | SG Wilsonville | 2024 State OR , Wilsonville

Gutridge finished out a successful run on the AAU circuit with DENY Basketball with a 5-1 run in Los Angeles and the 6-foot-4 wing was able to showcase his ability to shoot and create off of the dribble. The junior recently picked up his first scholarship offer from a school with an established pipeline to Wilsonville – OIT.
