FCP All-West Frosh/Soph: On My Radar (Pt. 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LONG BEACH — McBride high school played host to the annual Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph camp which featured many of the top prospects from the classes of 2025 and 2026 on the west coast and beyond. Tounde Yessoufou of St. Joseph (Santa Maria) took home the overall camp MVP honors while he was joined by Modesto Christian guard Rashod Cotton as being selected the Top 30 game Most Outstanding Players. In this piece we dive in to the players who firmly planted themselves on the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Aeneas Grullon, 2025, Viewpoint</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Grullon made his mark as a high energy guy on both ends of the floor. The 6-foot guard was a disruptive on-ball defender with quick hands and feet who took it upon himself to guard the other team's best player. Offensively, Grullon attacked the rim aggressively and used his strong frame to finish through contact. He also knocked down catch-and-shoot three's with time and space. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Alan Anderson, Jr., 2026, Clark (NV)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Anderson showed promise as a versatile offensive player who can score inside and out. The physical 6-foot-3 guard is best when getting downhill with a full head of steam where he uses his body to absorb contact and finish through defenders. Anderson, who is the son of former NBA player Alan Anderson, also flashed pull-up shooting ability and a high motor when crashing the offensive and defensive boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Breylon Webb, 2025, O'Dea (WA)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Webb has the makings of a shooting guard/wing to keep an eye on over the next three seasons. At 6-feet-4 with impressive length and a smooth shooting stroke from three-point range, Webb possesses an intriguing combination of size and skill at this point in his development. The sophomore showed knockdown shooting ability off the catch and really moved well without the ball to create passing angles for penetrating guards to hit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Caleb Newton, Jr., 2026, Birmingham</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Birmingham High seems to always have a guard or two come through its doors who just happens to be extremely talented on the offensive end and Newton, Jr. could be next up for the Patriots. The 6-foot-3 combo guard has impressive feel as a scorer and playmaker off the dribble. He uses his ball skills, hesitations and creativity to get into his smooth pull-up jumper that he hits consistently from the mid-range and three-point levels. What stood out about Newton was the pace in which he played. While he looked smooth and poised off the bounce, defenders were struggling to keep him in front.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Christian Taylor, 2025, St. Bernard</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is trending as a "jack-of-all-trades" type of prospect whose impact in multiple facets of the game - on both ends of the floor - should lead him to a productive high school career and college recruitment should follow. The 6-foot-4 lefty is a physical defender who can guard multiple positions, block shots and clean up the defensive boards. Offensively, Taylor is at his best when slashing through the lane in transition or half-court settings where he finished through and over rim protectors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>Gavin Dean-Moss, 2026, St. John Bosco</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dean-Moss was one of the first players we circled on the list of names provided to media and scouts. The 5-foot-11 point guard made it clear early and often that he played with good pace, a high basketball IQ and made high level decisions in the open floor for a primary ball-handler of his age. Dean-Moss played fast but under control and flashed his impressive finishing ability in the lane for a small guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4>[player_tooltip player_id='1315357' first='Isaiah' last='Cunningham'], 2025, Lincoln (WA)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cunningham was a player who I thought really helped himself in front of national scouts and media. The 6-foot-3 guard is a long, wiry and fluid athlete whose decision-making in the open court was simple but impressive. The sophomore didn't look to make the home run or flashy play on the break, but instead took what the defensive gave him and made the correct basketball play. Cunningham flashed a versatile scoring package complete with spinning layups through the lane and pull-up three's and mid-range jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
