Continue ReadingThe Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp, held for the first time outside of California (Sept. 26&27), attracted approximately 240 freshman and sophomores – and a spattering of eighth graders – from the western states.
Because of what was perceived to be the relative “balance” among the players – without any truly “dominant” players over the camp games and all-star clashes – there were no “Most Outstanding Players” selected.
That wasn’t the cased the following week in Duncanville, TX, for the All-South version of the camp when Robert Jones Jr., Brandon Garrison and Christopher Lockett II shared the honor.
So, to establish some consistency, I’ll offer my choices for three guys who can have also shared the honor following the conclusion of the Sept. 26&27 All-West Camp in St. George, Utah’s Net’s on Fire facility.
I’d opt for a couple of sophomores, 6-foot-5 Courtney Anderson (who was at Richmond Salesian as a freshman but has since enrolled at a Bay Area school in Northern California, Dublin) and 6-1 Jordan Ross Jordan Ross 6'3" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #132 Nation MO (Pleasant Grove in Utah), and a freshman, 7-1 Khaman Maker (Desert Valley Prep in Las Vegas).
Anderson, along with another standout at the camp in 6-7 Tyler Harris (Newark Memorial), is among those that will push 6-9 Jalen Lewis (Oakland Bishop O’Dowd) as Northern California’s best in the Class of 2023.
Ross was the most “complete” point guard in the camp and is pushing for that designation among all players in the 2023 class in the west.
And Maker (pictured) continued his summer-long road to becoming the most compelling “big” in the west in the Class of 2024, showing off gradually improving offensive “feel” and his established presence as a shot blocker.
