The event takes place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and will feature 100’s of teams from around the West Region. Several local teams will be participating in this event, which will provide a terrific exposure opportunity for the players. With the upcoming rankings right around the corner, we take a look at some players with the opportunity to secure their spots in the upcoming rankings.
Tremell Darden Jr 6’0 PG Arbor View 2025 – Didn’t see a lot of Darden last season, but remember the talented guard from his middle school days. This will be a great stage for him to make a case for the 2025 rankings, as the Aggies open up against St Margaret’s in the Foundation bracket.
Joshua Johnson Joshua Johnson 6'2" | SG Bonanza | 2025 State NV 6’2 SG Bonanza 2025 – I’m always intersted in young players and according to the roster sheet, the guard has grown two inches since the end of the season. Bonanza opens up against Scottsdale Christian and if Johnson sees valuable minutes this week, look for him to have a chance to earn a rankings spot.
Jesse Judkins Jesse Judkins 5'9" Cimarron | 2025 State NV 5’7 PG Cimarron 2025 – Got a glimpse of Judkins during the Prephoops Circuit and I was impressed with his wiggle and scoring ability. He mentioned that he was a big time scorer on the JV level, now I’m looking to see how he performs against Varsity competition.
Kodey Weary Kodey Weary 6'6" | SF Coronado NV | 2023 NV 6’7 SF Coronado 2023 – Weary will definetly have a place in the rankings. The skilled wing, who’s comming off an impressive showing at the Pangos All American camp is going to have an immediate impact, and is a threat for the #1 spot in the class. Weary is a D1 prospect with size and skill. The event is more a matter of where he will land in the rankings vs if.
Tee Bartlett Tee Bartlett 6'10" | C Coronado | 2025 State #49 Nation NV 6’10 C Coronado 2025 – Bartlett is another player that will make an appearance in the rankings. He has size and is an offensive weapon on the interior. The transfer from California will bolster the Cougars frontline, and he should challenge for a high ranking in the class of 2025.
Kameron Ricks Kameron Ricks 6'3" | SF Desert Pines | 2023 State NV 6’3 SF Desert Pines 2023 – Call it a hunch, but I think RIcks has an opportunity to play his way into the rankings. The forward didn’t score much last season for DP, however he did see action in 19 games. If nothing else his senior expirience should help a talented but young Jaguars squad.
Aleksandar Aleks Baletic Aleksandar Aleks Baletic 6'8" | SF Red Rock Academy | 2025 State NV 6’7 PF Durango 2025 – Gotten to see a little of Baletic during the spring. He’s raw, but shows some flashes of skill. He has size and should be able to help the Trailblazers on the backboard. Looking to see how he handles the speed of the game, against high level competition.
Syed Ahmad Syed Ahmad 6'4" | SG Palo Verde | 2023 State NV 6’4 SG Palo Verde 2023 – Saw Ahmad in the Spring, now looking for a complete evaluation on the guard. He comes in a few inches taller, being listed at 6’4, now I’ll go through an evaluation of his skillset, to see if he’s going to land in the rankings.
