6’4 Cole Anderson Cole Anderson 6'3" | PG Clovis West | 2021 #183 Nation CA-N – Clovis West HS, Fresno

He’s a big-time shooter who is going to take the big shot when the game is on the line. Anderson has a motor that is always running and you will never out-work him. He excels in transition, making plays for himself and his teammates. He’s got an excellent mid-range pull up game in the half court and a nice floater. He can play on or off the ball very effectively and is a true leader who can run a team. If you look up WINNER in the dictionary you will see his picture. Anderson has committed to UC Santa Barbara which could turn out to be the steal of the decade.
6’5 Reese Dixon-Waters – St. Bernard HS, Playa Del Rey
Dixon-Waters is an athletic guard/wing who is a nice all-around scorer. He has a diverse skill set and can play all three perimeter positions. He’s very effective in transition: he pushes the ball hard, sees the floor well and pulls up nicely. Dixon-Waters can shoot it with 3-point range and is a good driver with a nice first step who breaks down defenders consistently. He switches well defensively and is a solid rebounder. He has committed to USC.
6’4 Jahmai Mashack – Etiwanda HS, Rancho Cucamonga
Mashack has “arrived” as a player and is officially a member of the All-Dow Jones team for rising stock. He’s an athletic combo guard who is a confident ball handler. He makes a ton of plays in transition and he has a very nice mid-range pull-up in the half court. Mashack is a good driver who finishes effectively. He is a good defender who can guard anyone on the perimeter. Best of all, he plays hard! Mashack is a high major prospect.
6’3 Isa Silva Isa Silva 6'2" | PG Prolific Prep/ Jesuit | 2021 State CA-N – Jesuit HS, Carmichael
Silva is a relentless competitor who plays in attack mode, pushing the break consistently and aggressively. He’s a true point guard who runs the show.

He has a big-time motor and a high IQ. He has committed to Stanford.
6’2 Kenneth Simpson Jr – Chaminade Prep, West Hills

He is a good shooter with a ton of confidence. Simpson is a solid driver/penetrator who attacks consistently. He is an accomplished ball handler who can run a team and he is a decent defender. Simpson is a high major player.
6’4 Malik Thomas – Damien HS, LaVerne
Thomas is another member of the All-Dow Jones team who stock rose with a splendid junior season. He’s a strong and athletic two guard who is a confident ball handler and a good passer. He can pull up in transition and half court and he moves well without the ball. Thomas is a really improved shooter with 3-point range (catch and shoot) and that is what got him to the highest level. He goes hard on the drive and can finish with authority. He is also good rebounder who does pursue the ball. Thomas has committed to USC.
6’6 Peyton Watson – Polytechnic HS, Long Beach
Watson has arrived as an elite level prospect and has proved he belongs at the top of the class. He’s an excellent athlete and a quick jumper with real long arms. He’s a little thin and will need some bulk/strength to prepare for the next level. Watson can handle it and he is a good passer who sees the floor. He’s a real good driver with a nice first step who blows by defenders with ease. He’s an improved shooter with 3 range who still could use a little work in this regard. He’s a capable rebounder and he can block a shot. He’s is a wing who is capable of playing some at the point. Watson will be a serious candidate for the MacDonald’s All-American game.
