Riley DeWit Riley DeWit 6'6" | PF Bonanza | 2021 State NV 6’6 PF Bonanza 2021 (#84PHN 2021) – DeWit had a solid performance at the Expo. Showed range out to about 18 and a willingness to rim run and sprint the floor. His willingness in the classroom has never been questioned as the 6’6 big is a 3.7 student.
Daryian Matthews Daryian Matthews 6'5" | PF Dysart | 2021 State AZ 6’5 PF Dysart 2021 (#103PHA 2021) – Is there any box Daryian Matthews Daryian Matthews 6'5" | PF Dysart | 2021 State AZ doesn’t check? He has great hands, terrific feet and rebounds any and everything in sight. If only he was a decent student, oh yea, he just carries a 4.7 GPA and is one of the highest recruited high academic players on the west coast.
Carter Lankford 6’2 SG Rancho Bernardo 2022 – Love Lankford’s energy, effort, and competitiveness. Much like Matthews, he impacts games without having to score. He does a ton of scoring in the classroom however. The 6’2 guard is a 4.4 student with a bright future ahead of him.
Anthony Pittman Anthony Pittman 6'0" | PG Bishop Gorman | 2022 State NV 6’0 PG Bishop Gorman 2022 (#50PHN 2022) – Pittman was one of the surprise players at the camp. A JV player for the Nevada powerhouse Bishop Gorman program, he proved why the cupboard is never bare for the Gaels. He displayed good quickness and was a hawk on the defensive end. In addition to his on-court talent, Pittman also gets it done in the classroom rocking a 3.5 GPA.
Garrett Rogers Garrett Rogers 5'11" | PG Columbine | 2021 State CO 5’11 PG Colombine 2021 (#84PHC 2021) (featured image) – Loved what Rogers did at the Expo. He was one of the better shooters and will be featured in my top shooters articles. In addition to his shooting, he showed a good feel for the game, and played with a nice solid pace, changing heights and speeds to get his shot off. He doesn’t need to change anything in the classroom as the PG is a 3.7 student.
Damion Byrd Damion Byrd 5'10" | PG Silverado | 2022 State NV 6’0 PG Silverado 2022 (#12PHN 2022) – Byrd’s defensive ability was on display this weekend. He was tough on ball and terrific with his help-side defense. It should come as no surprise that the cerebral PG is also terrific in the classroom as He’s also terrific in the classroom as he rocks a 4.0 GPA.
