Daundre Samuels Daundre Samuels 6’3″ | CG Denver East | 2023 State CO last year showed off his ability to be an effective scorer from the wing, being one of the best true shooting guards in the state. He uses smooth, long strides to get to the basket where he is a great finisher.
Dominic Rhoades-Martinez Dominic Rhoades-Martinez 6’0″ | PG Denver South | 2025 State #369 Nation CO is a do-it-all point guard who has a great frame and IQ for his age. Dominic does all the intangibles on the court and he is an even threat to score or set up a teammate with a good pass.
Carson McDonald Carson McDonald 6’8″ | PF Vista PEAK Prep | 2024 NLG is a player with a ton of potential and looking to have a big season for George Washington this upcoming season. He is a very impressive athlete standing at 6’8 who uses that to be a good rim protector and finisher around the basket.
Tyler HUNSINGER Tyler HUNSINGER 6’0″ | SG South | 2023 CO is a player who just knows how to get buckets. From three-point land, he is one of the best shooters in the state and has some crafty scoring ability near the rim.
Deshawn Fox Deshawn Fox 6’6″ | SF Manual | 2024 State CO is a player who stands out due to the pride he takes on the defensive end of the floor. Deshawn can guard wings and smaller bigs using elite athleticism. On the offensive end, Deshawn shows immense potential as a slasher and is an exciting above-the-rim finisher.
Armon Baker Armon Baker 6’4″ | CG Thomas Jefferson | 2023 State CO is a lengthy combo-guard who has a knack for creating for himself and others by attacking the rim. Armon has a good first step and at the rim uses his length to finish tough shots through contact.
Jordan Leslie Jordan Leslie 6’0″ | PG Mullen | 2024 State CO is a unique athlete who plays with a great competitive spirit on the floor. On the defensive end, Jordan can expose guards with a sloppy handle and is a good athlete who uses that to finish tough shots near the basket.
Austin Mohr Austin Mohr 6’3″ | SG Denver East | 2023 State CO had a solid role last year with Denver East as a three-point specialist but will be seeing an expanded role this upcoming season. While Austin is known as just a shooter he has a more complete game and brings it on both ends of the floor.
I would not be surprised if Ethan Levin Ethan Levin 5’9″ | CG Kent Denver | 2023 State CO is one of the top scorers in the state next season as he is a perfect guard for Kent Denver’s run-and-gun style of play. Ethan has a super quick trigger on his jump shot and has great instincts as a cutter.
Azar Ghezae Azar Ghezae 6’4″ | SG DSST: Conservatory Green | 2024 State CO is a long shooting guard who standouts with his leadership and communication on the hardwood. On the offensive end, Azar has a good jumper from the outside and is a good teammate always looking to get others involved.
Will Perkins Will Perkins 6’1″ | SG Thomas Jefferson | 2024 State CO is a scorer with a deep bag of tricks off of the dribble, who scores from all three levels. While he scores from all three levels he especially stands out with his jump shot off of the dribble.
Highlights
Josiah Gordon Josiah Gordon 6’3″ | SF Thomas Jefferson | 2023 State CO is a unique athlete on the wing who makes momentum-shifting plays. On fast breaks Josiah makes good reads and can finish above the rim, and while he may not be the top scorer in most games he makes winning plays for his team.
Jovonnie Babineaux Jovonnie Babineaux 5’10” | CG DSST: Green Valley Ranch | 2024 State CO is an intriguing guard prospect as he has microwave scoring ability from three-point land. While Jovonnie is a good scorer he is also a true point guard who is good at misleading defenders with his eyes to set up teammates with dimes.
Caleb Fay Caleb Fay 6’5″ | SF Kent Denver | 2026 State CO is one of the top incoming freshmen in the state as he has a great combo of height and athleticism for his age. Kaleb understands how to get downhill and is hard to stop with a head full of steam, and can take advantage of smaller matchups with a good back-to-the-basket game.
