Continue ReadingAs the AAU basketball season moves forward, our Prep Hoops Rankings update for the summer tips-off with the players from the class of 2023 in the state of Pennsylvania. The staff here at Prep Hoops PA has diligently gathered information and worked extremely hard to develop an extraordinarily comprehensive list of 400 high school basketball student-athletes. These rising seniors have the balance of talent to be the most heavily recruited group in a long time throughout the state. Many young men have been in constant communication with college coaches, while a variety of others are starting to garner attention as well. After the completion of the high school season and with AAU in full tournament mode, these skilled performers climbed the rankings for our current update.
WESTERN PA 2023 STOCK RISERS:
+74… James Wesling James Wesling 6'0" | SG Baldwin | 2023 State PA / 6’1 / shooting guard / Baldwin High School / A knockdown shooter with the ability to create opportunities not only for himself, but his teammates during a game. He continues to rise in the rankings with consistent performances on the court. James will look to play college basketball shortly.
+32… Shea Champine Shea Champine 6'0" | CG Bishop Canevin | 2023 State PA / 6’1 / shooting guard / Bishop Canevin High School / This quick, slasher guard brings the offensive aggressiveness to take over a contest. His defensive ability is motivated by the confidence to “lock-up” the opponent’s best player. Shea will be a leader for his squad next season after two championships.
+23… DJ Walker DJ Walker 5'10" | PG Aliquippa | 2023 State PA / 5’11 / shooting guard / Aliquippa High School / An athletically skilled performer on both ends of the floor that provides quality leadership for his team.

+15… Sawyer Butler Sawyer Butler 5'11" | PG Beaver | 2023 State PA / 5’11 / point guard / Beaver High School / The climb in the rankings is due in major part to this young man having the maturity to score in bunches and dish out assists consistently.

+9… Rocco Spadafora Rocco Spadafora 6'0" | SG OLSH | 2023 State PA / 6’0 / combo guard / OLSH High School / His knowledge of the game and leadership qualities make him a proven high school talent.

+8… Jaydon Carr Jaydon Carr 6'0" | SG Gateway | 2023 State PA / 6’0 / combo guard / Gateway High School / This skilled guard has the ability to “light up” the scoreboard in the half-court set and on the break for his squad. His consistency from mid-range is a strong point of his game. Jaydon has the quickness on the defensive end to create steals and deflections.
+8… Tasso Sfanos Tasso Sfanos 6'1" | PG Mars | 2023 State PA / 6’1 / point guard / Mars High School / He exudes confidence shooting the ball from long distance and likes to push the ball up the floor.
