Zach Morgan Zach Morgan 6'9" | C SoAZ Volz | 2021 State AZ (Pueblo) (Pictured)
-An inside out threat is a load to handle. He is arguably the top player in Tucson from his class and just seems to keep ascending. He gobbles up all rebounds and blocks shots in his area.
Ruben Cazares Ruben Cazares 6'7" | PF Cholla | 2021 State AZ (Cholla)
-A face-up 4-man who can shoot it from the 3pt line and has improved each year. He rebounds at a nice clip in his area and will run the floor.
Daryian Matthews Daryian Matthews 6'5" | PF Dysart | 2021 State AZ (Dysart)
-One of the top rebounders on the West Coast. He is an animal on the glass and has a relentless pursuit to the ball. He may be a little undersized but it really doesn’t matter with his strong hands, length and strength. He can score it around the hoop with efficiency.
Damaryea Cox Damaryea Cox 6'6" | PF Desert Edge | 2021 State AZ (Desert Edge)
-A pogo-stick athlete is a run and jump type of forward. He will dunk the ball on the break, block shots and rebound. He can defend out in space and inside.
Nate Summit Nate Summit 6'7" | C Bradshaw Mountain | 2021 State AZ (Bradshaw Mountain)
-A sturdy framed post player can score it with anyone in 4A. He rebounds in his area using his strength and girth. He can face-up from elbow and in and he is tough to handle in Prescott Valley.
Jeremiah Cherry Jeremiah Cherry 6'9" | C St. Mary's | 2022 State AZ (St Mary’s)
-One of the top inside post players in 4A. He has massive hands to catch passes inside and score it plus is an imposing shot blocker and rebounder in his area. He has a polished hook shot and he can make an occasional 3.
Brooks Jones Brooks Jones 6'6" | PF American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek | 2022 State AZ (ALA-QC)
-A bouncy face-up forward runs the floor gracefully and can play above the rim on the break. He defends multiple positions and can shoot it from mid to the 3pt line.
Luke Light Luke Light 6'6" | PF Paradise Honors | 2022 State AZ (Paradise Honors)
-A newcomer by way of Illinois is one of the odds on favorites for breakout POY or newcomer POY. He has skill to the 3pt line and he can move in space plus block shots out of his area impressively.
Noah Amenhauser Noah Amenhauser 7'0" | C Estrella Foothills | 2023 State #270 Nation AZ (Estrella Foothills)
-The lone soph on the list is one of the top true 5-men in 4A. He has a huge wingspan with a crazy standing reach. He blocks shots and rebounds plus he can actually face up with success. He can score it with his back to the basket but likes shooting it.
