The annual WIBCA NW June D1 Recruiting Event is right around the corner. On June 27th and 28th, teams from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, Utah, and Colorado will convene at three different game venues (Bellevue College, Lake Washington High School, Issaquah High School) to showcase many of the top players in the region. It is always a great even that brings together top competition, as well as countless college coaches, providing an excellent platform for the players.   To get you ready for all the action to come, Jed Tai (PrepHoops Oregon) and I have put together previews for each team attending the recruiting event. We will highlight all of the players you need to know from the 56 participating teams in alphabetical order. Here, we highlight prospects from Archbishop Murphy and Auburn High Schools.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Archbishop Murphy (WA)</h3>   Classification: 2A   2025-26 Record: 11-11   Key Players   [player_tooltip player_id='2629631' first='Carter' last='Hagen'] 6-0 PG 2028   25-26 Stats: 14.5 pts 4.5 ast 4.3 reb 2.1 stl   Hagen is a major catalyst for the Wildcats, using his speed and ability to penetrate gaps to create shots for himself and others. He's an aggressive player with good vision to get downhill and make plays, but will also knock down outside shots if defenders give him room. High motor kid, has some craftiness around the paint, and will whip out a flashy pass here and there.   William Wilson 6-4 SF 2027   He's their primary big man and will work to gain extra possessions on the glass. Has a solid frame, a little small to play primarily in the post but he works hard and had some big games for them last winter working around the paint.   Vlad Bondarchuk 5-10 CG 2029   Interesting younger player who helped handling the rock for them last winter. Has some innate playmaking ability, natural feel with the ball, and does well to prod and play with some poise in gaps. He's pretty patient attacker, will let windows open up, plays off two, and can catch fire from deep.   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Auburn (WA)</h3>   Classification: 4A   2025-26 Record: 22-4   Key Players   [player_tooltip player_id='2391500' first='Isaiah' last='Englund'] 6-8 SF 2027   The long combo forward looks likely to be their top option offensively next winter. He has the length and touch to play around the rim but has excelled catching further out and attacking defenders off the dribble. Knocks down enough spot up threes to pull defenders out, and is a key rim defender for the Trojans.   [player_tooltip player_id='2548068' first='Emanuel' last='Rogers'] 6-0 PG 2027   Rogers is a quick, tough guard who can play a solid two-way game for Auburn. Has enough burst and agility to be a threat with the ball and had some big games scoring the ball last season. Should be one of their primary ball handlers, and generally is a smart player who picks his spots well.   [player_tooltip player_id='2547463' first='Matthew' last='Fredrickson'] 6-5 SG 2028   He's a long, twitchy combo guard/wing who can slot into a few different roles offensively. Will handle the ball for them, create downhill, and can help control some tempo with his ability to get to the line. His versatility helps out on the defensive end too, where he's a pretty opportunist defender. Does a little bit of everything for them.   [player_tooltip player_id='2392280' first='Leroy' last='Kinnay'] 6-4 SF 2027   Very athletic wing player who will help out on the glass, finish around the rim, and work for extra possessions. Has the length and athleticism to be a factor defensively out of different spots.
