Sebastian Arius Sebastian Arius 6'5" | CG Auburn Mountainview | 2025 State WA – Auburn Mountainview HS – 2025 – Sebastian is a 6’5″ guard/wing who knows the game so well. He can play a variety of positions on the court and does so at such a high level. Arius is strong with the ball in his hands, getting downhill at a high rate. His jumper has improved tremendously, as has his game overall, which is why he is starting to gather Division 1 coaches attention.
Talon Jenkins Talon Jenkins 6'6" | SF Meridian | 2025 State WA – Meridian HS – 2025 – Talon is hooping with WA Supreme this summer, playing alongside some of the top players in the state. The one player who I think will help elevate Talon’s game is Camas guard Beckett Currie Beckett Currie 6'0" | PG Camas | 2025 State WA . The pick and pop with the two of them is going to be lethal. Jenkins is deadly from his mid range spots, given his height and length. Talon’s game has been improving steadily over the course of the last couple months, the work he has put in is starting to show on the court.
Beruke Weledsenbet – Ferris HS – 2025 – Beruke is a player you might not know but you need to know. He is a guard who pushes the pace of the game well, making opposing players play at his speed. His vision is incredible and he can deliver great accurate passes with either hand. His drive and kick game is superb, as he can attack down hill nicely which causes the defense to collapse. Weledsenbet is an ELITE defender as well, being able to guard the opposing teams best player and cause havoc the whole game.
Maccoy Pond – Issaquah HS – 2026 – Maccoy is a player who is going to take the state by storm next season. He will be hooping with FOH Seattle this summer, which will only elevate his game in big ways. He plays intense defense, taking pride in getting defensive stops and creating turnovers. His offensive game is smooth, het hits the mid-range shot nicely and gets to the hoop with unique moves to keep defenders on their toes.
Jaden Ghoreishi Jaden Ghoreishi 6'4" | SF Mead | 2026 State WA – Mead HS – 2026 – Jaden was a stud last season, coming onto the scene for Mead and having a great well rounded season. He is always in the gym improving his game, which always translates. He plays elite defense, guarding the paint well but also is able to step out to the perimeter too. Due to all the reps he does, Ghoreishi has elite footwork for a player of his size and age. He has a college ready frame, 4 year coaches need to start paying attention now.
