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 2024 class will definitely be back to normal like the good old days.
Many more will slowly be added every season. Most years I have 100+ already but with COVID, I wasn’t able to see many freshman teams as a normal season.
We look at the Top-10 PG’s in the 2024 class:
This group is stacked with 11 in the Top-29. They will be fun to track over the next few years.
1. Styles Phipps Styles Phipps 6'1" | PG St Mary's | 2024 State #182 Nation AZ St. Mary’s
-One of the top current players in the class is well beyond his years. He played heavy minutes as a freshman as their official 6th man but played starter minutes for the 4A state champs. The ball is on a string for him and can score and facilitate like a vet.
2. Marcus Wilson Marcus Wilson 6'2" | PG Bella Vista Prep | 2024 NM Bella Vista Prep
-An athletic guard is moving in from New Mexico and brings a lot of talent. He can score from all 3 levels and has a real burst to get into the lane. He is tough on the ball and makes plays.
3. Adam Njie Jr Adam Njie Jr 6'3" | PG Cardinal Hayes | 2024 State #197 Nation NY Eduprize
-One of the rare freshman with an early offer plus multiple college interest. He is strong and skilled with good positional height already. He can hit the deep 3 plus get downhill using his sturdy frame. A tough player to defend.
4. Gabe Pickens Gabe Pickens 6'0" | PG Dream City Christian | 2024 State AZ Millennium
-A thick PG with a warrior mentality. He gets downhill with the best of them and is one of the top on-ball defenders in the group. He is a capable 3pt shooter and has good open court speed. He is a good passer and is one of the strongest freshmen in the state.
5. Luke Shaw Luke Shaw 6'3" | CG Valley Christian | 2024 State AZ ASU Prep
-One of the easier scorers in the group. His feel for the game is high and he is extremely competitive. He has good shooting range and his handle is tight. He makes next level passes and the third Shaw brother is off to a good start to his AAU career.
6. Isaiah Bronson Isaiah Bronson 6'2" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2024 State AZ Williams Field
-A fast and quick scoring lead guard. The lefty has deep 3pt range with a nice first step. He can make his teammates better and has huge confidence.
7. Jeremiah Newcombe Jeremiah Newcombe 5'9" | PG Casteel | 2024 AZ Casteel (Pictured)
-A strong football player who also happens to be a varsity starter for the Colts. He is a pure PG who advance passes, make the easy plays routine and can hit from the perimeter. His speed and handle make his game go.
8. Jayce McGuirk Jayce McGuirk 6'2" | CG Phhoenix Prep | 2025 State AZ Desert Ridge
-Arguably the top shooter on the list also has a good feel for the game. He plays with good pace and the lefty can sling it from deep with consistency. He is a likely next year starter for the Jaguars and should break out.
9. Aiden Dunne Aiden Dunne 6'2" | PG Liberty | 2024 State AZ Paradise Honors
-Arguably the purest PG on the list. A throw back who is always looking to facilitate with his left or right hand. He is smart and sees plays develop quickly plus can make the open-3.
10. Marcus Logan Marcus Logan 5'9" | PG Centennial | 2024 AZ Centennial
-A true ball-hawk defender with incredible speed. As they say, the rich get richer for the Coyotes. A stable of guards that Logan may play behind next year but will be a stud his junior and senior seasons and I am assuming will get some varsity minutes next year too. He is more of a downhill scorer with a tight handle and a good passer.

1. Liam Bunker Liam Bunker 6'2" | PG Skyline Prep | 2024 State AZ Queen Creek
-Another future to a program is Bunker. He has a good feel for the game and knows how to change speeds and makes good reads to his teammates. He can score it but look for him to take the keys from Raydon Thorson Raydon Thorson 5'11" | PG Phhoenix Prep | 2023 State AZ when he graduates.
