Evan Stinson Evan Stinson 6'7" | SF Cheney | 2024 State #223 Nation WA Cheney
Committed: Washington State University
Stinson picked up a handful of offers after a really strong showing at the NW June D1 Event. It didn’t take much longer after that for him to land on WSU as his home for next year. The 6-foot-7 wing is a threat to get his shot off from all over the court, displays great court vision, and some innate feel for the game overall.
Ryan Lafferty Ryan Lafferty 6'5" | CG Mt Spokane | 2024 State #320 Nation WA Mt Spokane
Committed: University of St. Thomas
Another top prospect in the 2024 class to already commit, Lafferty was a workhorse for Mt Spokane last season. He’s a bigger guard with the ability to pass and score at a high level, and has the strength and endurance to play big, quality minutes.
Jacob Cofie Jacob Cofie 6'10" | PF Eastside Catholic | 2024 State #97 Nation WA Eastside Catholic
Top 4: Virginia, Washington, USC, Ohio State
Flooded with offers from all over, the high major recruit recently narrowed his list down to four schools. The 4-Star, top 100 prospect has already had an official visit to Washington and plans to make trips to both Virginia and Ohio State this month.
Peter Dress Peter Dress 6'6" | SG Kamiakin | 2024 State WA Kamiakin
Offered: Embry-Riddle University (AZ)
The tall shooter from Kamiakin picked up the offer from the NAIA school in Prescott, Arizona last month. He’s been one of the top shooters in his class for a while now, with deep range and an ability to get the ball out quick. Dress has shown better strength inside this summer along with improved footwork from the post.
Caden Culver Caden Culver 5'10" | PG Skyline | 2024 State WA Skyline
Offered: University of Puget Sound
It is Culver’s time to lead the Skyline Spartans and he’s shown all the right qualities to do so this summer. He’s been communicative, had good ball security, shown an ability to set the offense in motion and knock down shots while getting to his spots. The point guard picked up the D-III offer last month.
Hayden Yore Hayden Yore 6'2" | CG Kelso | 2024 State WA Kelso
Offered: Pacific University (OR)
Yore has been a steady player for Kelso and had a strong summer playing with PNW Sixers . He’s a strong guard who can get up and down the floor, competes on the defensive end, and has the ability to create shots getting to the hoop. He also picked up the D-III offer just last month.
Jaxson Filler Jaxson Filler 6'7" | PF Skyview | 2024 State WA Skyview
Offered: Pacific University (OR)
Filler is another player from southwest Washington to pick up a D-III offer from Pacific University. The 6-foot-7 forward from Skyview is a hulking presence down low with a good motor around the rim and some nice post moves to score the ball.
Braydon Olson Braydon Olson 6'2" | CG Mark Morris | 2024 State WA Mark Morris
Offered: University of Puget Sound
Olson has been a big stock riser in his class who showed an ability to do it all this summer. He’s really improved his handle which has opened up more playmaking to balance out his explosive scoring. Look for Olson to grab some more attention this winter and add to the offer from UPS.
Aidan Bews Aidan Bews 6'6" | SF Quincy | 2024 State WA Quincy
Offered: George Fox University, Pacific University (OR)
Bews is a 6-foot-6, athletic combo forward who made a big statement last season with a 50-point game. He’s built on that and continued to improve his outside game while working to add moves inside while also showing off his defensive versatility. There is still a lot of potential to tap into for Bews who picked up two NWC offers this summer.
