<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PH NorCal spent the weekend June 21-23, in Glendale, Arizona at Section 7. The top West Coast event for high school in the Summer. This is a group of 2025 standouts from NorCal who played well while we were watching.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1384451' first='Semetri' last='Carr'] 6'1 2025 PG: Archbishop Riordan: <br>NorCal's top point guard has transferred into Riordan. It was our first viewing with his new team. This makes Riordan the top team in NorCal on paper. He'll run the team, defend his position, and get buckets in the crunch. He has quickness, good hops. He continues to get stronger. He's battle tested, has multiple DI offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1140161' first='Alvin' last='Loving'] 6'3 2025 Guard; Salesian College Prep<br>The experienced Senior finds ways to contribute. He's trimmed his body, still strong and moving well to defend multiple positions including the post. He'll get hot freeing himself up off the dribble to knock down mid-range jumper and 3's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1384915' first='Ross' last='Widemon'] 6'0 2025 Guard; Modesto Christian<br>The confident guard picked up the slack, he's a bit streaky but often gives effort on both sides of the ball. He was actively looking to put points on the board. He's got the quickness, and handles to free himself up for different shots. He's fearless attacking the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1382882' first='Steve' last='Emeneke'] 6'10 2025 Center: Archbishop Riordan<br>He's steadily improving as a big man. He has some presence on defense. He's protecting the rim, going after blocks, defending other bigs, and securing rebounds. He's a wide target with improving foot work to score inside, and passing from the post. He picked up another DI offer. Good upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1572988' first='Braddock' last='Kjellesvig'] 6'6 2025 Post: De La Salle<br>He has a good size body working on the block and along the baseline. He's a go to guy in the post to keep the offense flowing, allowing others time to screen, and cut. He's an excellent post passer with vision to see shooters on the other side. He'll use his dribble to back you down, and footwork to get his shot off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1530543' first='Taylen' last='Goodman'] 6'7 2025 Wing: Inderkum<br>He's long, and active around the rim keeping the ball live going after rebounds and tap ins. He can use his dribble to attack defenders in the paint. He can hit the paint jumper. He's an excellent defender on the perimeter, doesn't go for fakes, makes it tough to shoot over him or get around him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2356770' first='Malachi' last='Johnson'] 6'10 2025 Wing: Inderkum<br>He's an intriguing prospect we need to see more of. Long term he has a good upside. He's long, somewhat active going after blocks and rebounds, he'll run the court. At 6'10 he's still polishing up his skill set. Is he a wing or post? We've seen him on the perimeter, and working the high post. He's a double double at this level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1572944' first='Jalal' last='Grayson'] 6'4 2025 Wing: Archbishop Mitty<br>At 6'4 he can play outside/in. He has a good skill set to play out on the perimeter, he'll drop catch corner 3's, use hard dribbles to attack from the perimeter, and along the baseline. He can be physical working in the paint for rebounds, and put back points. He'll take a charge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2048210' first='Justin' last='Hampton'] 6'2 2025 CG: Valley Christian<br>He brings balance, and an unselfish style of play. He has good ball handling skills, he can run point, he's a passer/ball mover. We saw a good first step to attack off the dribble. He hit a couple of 3's. He has good defensive tools, speed, alertness, uses his voice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1384815' first='Jaylen' last='Valdez'] 6'2 2025 Guard: Destiny Christian<br>He's a seasoned guard confident in his abilities. He gives good effort on the court. He can generate buckets in different ways. He's good on the attack from the perimeter, he goes hard from the top, and in transition, he'll drop paint jumpers, pull up for 3's in rhythm. He plays within the flow of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1384448' first='Donez' last='Lindsey'] 5'10 2025 PG Lincoln, Stockton<br>A quality point guard, he plays with a chip on his shoulder.
