<p>Something that I always want to bring to our readers, college coaches, and fans in general that attend or watch the state finals is a look inside at the prospects they are watching! I did this for my high school's coach every year he went to state of who to watch and where they are ranked/committed. Let's do the same again in 2026 in the PHI State Hoops Primer!</p>
