This season ended up being a short AIA season, a full Grind Session season, a condensed CAA season and a longer AAU season with showcase formats.
This 2021 class has met every obstacle possible and many are still looking for their next spots after HS.
We look at the Top-10 CG’s in the 2021 class:
1. Javon Ruffin Javon Ruffin 6'5" | CG Phhoenix Prep | 2021 State #239 Nation AZ Phhoenix Prep
-A physical guard who can play on or off the ball. He shot the cover off the ball this year with serious range and defends any position plus facilitate. Like some others, he is under ranked nationally. Colorado got a diamond last year with Jabari Walker Jabari Walker 6'7" | PF AZ Compass Prep | 2020 State #302 Nation AZ and got another one this year.
2. Tyler Simon Tyler Simon 6'4" | CG Dream City Christian | 2021 State AZ Dream City
-One of the better shooters on the list. He has good size and played the 1-2 for the talented team all year long. His length, skill and size will project at Harvard.
3. Isaac Spears Isaac Spears 6'3" | CG Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
-A very athletic guard who can play above the rim on the break. He has become a good passer/decision maker in the last year and can pull-up and hit from mid to the 3.
4. Bailon Black Bailon Black 6'4" | CG Ironwood | 2021 State AZ Ironwood
The Northern Colorado commit is very steady. He shoots it with deep range and slings it into teammates shooting pockets just as well as anyone in the AIA.
5. Kieran Carr Kieran Carr 6'4" | CG Phhoenix Prep Post Grad | 2022 State AZ Arcadia (Pictured)
-One of the biggest stock risers in the state. He shot it well from deep with a quick trigger, played above the rim and grew. He is a sneaky good passer and his overall game caught college coaches attention. He is garnering D2 interest with some D1’s looking in as well.
6. Christian Tucker Christian Tucker 6'3" | CG Perry | 2021 State AZ Perry
-Another who has improved this past season. He also grew, shot the ball better from the 3 and facilitated.
7. Aisaiah Phillips Aisaiah Phillips 6'0" | CG Bella Vista Prep | 2021 State AZ Bella Vista Prep
-A tough and physical undersized guard. He can play both spots for them and came off the bench and gave them a spark almost every game. He loves getting into the lane and playing off of it or scoring through contact.
8. Kaden Luna Kaden Luna 6'2" | CG Southern AZ Volunteers | 2021 State AZ Southern AZ Volunteers
-A tough combo guard who loves driving the lane and seeking contact. He is a steady mid-range shooter and plays hard on defense.
9. Brandon Jackson Brandon Jackson 6'0" | CG North Canyon | 2021 State AZ North Canyon
-A fast and athletic lefty guard. He is one of the fastest end to end guards in the AIA. He scores it from all levels but is best using a burst to get into the lane.
10. Zayn Kimbrough Zayn Kimbrough 6'2" | CG AZ Compass Prep | 2021 State AZ Jr AZ Compass Prep
-A thicker guard played the 1 and 2 for the CAA Open Champs. He makes good reads but he is a shooter from mid to the 3.
3 Others:
1. Jahon Lethridge Jahon Lethridge 6'0" | CG Thunderbird | 2021 State AZ Thunderbird
-Yet another tough combo guard. He has range on his J and can hit from mid. He is best closest to the basket and has led his team the last 3 years.
2. Rai’Shun Wilson Rai’Shun Wilson 6'0" | CG AZ Compass Prep | 2021 State AZ AZ Compass Prep
-One of the most athletic undersized guards in the state regardless of class. He is a highlight reel in the open court with speed and has that football type of build/frame.
3. Desi Burrage Desi Burrage 6'0" | CG Brophy Prep | 2021 State AZ Brophy Prep
-A 3 and D type of undersized combo guard who has a nice pull-up from mid and the 3. He is also a good on-ball defender, he plays a cerebral game and is a good teammate.
