Schools in the mix for Obinna include USC, Cal, Miami FL, Georgia Tech, Texas, Oklahoma, TCU, Colorado and Oregon State (all have offered). Strong and explosive forward led a very balanced Cathedral Catholic offense averaging a team-high 13.6 points and 9.1 boards per game.
Led his Cathedral Catholic squad to the CIF-San Diego Section Open title – beating Torrey Pines and Stanford-bound PF Brandon Angel in the Final. Terrible car accident curtailed a very impressive junior season (his HS coaches expect him to recover by this summer). Obinna Anyanwu 6’7” CF Cathedral Catholic (San Diego CA) Nationally ranked #45 by, #47 by composite and #50 by Van Coleman/ Nothing But Net Magazine.ģ. Excellent student averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds, 3.5 assists and two steals per game this past season. Recently chose USC over UCLA, Stanford, Cal, San Diego State, Vanderbilt, Santa Clara and Princeton (his other offers). Reese can also hurt defenses with his slashing scoring ability and he is an underrated defender. High-scoring wing guard with a sturdy frame has potent 3-point shooting ability. Good student and great kid was an All-CIF Division I selection, MVP of the Moore League and a Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team 1 st team selection.Ģ. While his long-term potential is too great to ignore, what I would like to see in his next stage of development is to improve his toughness, strength and consistent competitiveness. Currently nationally ranked #19 by, #22 by the Composite, #49 by Van Coleman/ Nothing But Net Magazine and #50 by, Watson has offers from UCLA, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington, Oregon, Cal, Maryland, San Diego State, Gonzaga, Texas Tech and Utah with Kentucky just coming into the picture as of late. Peyton’s immense potential has not gone unnoticed as he is (with Devin Askew’s early departure to Kentucky) SoCal’s top-rated national 2021 recruit. Peyton Watson 6’7” WG Poly (Long Beach CA)Īthletic and multi-dimensional wing with ability to finish at the rim as well as connect from beyond the 3-point arc is one of the most improved players in the nation over the past year. Top 40 Southern California High School Juniors (2021)ġ. With that prelude out of the way, here is our current Fullcourt Press Best of SoCal Class of 2021. This list (almost 80 prospects strong) will be periodically updated and released and will include additional prospects as they emerge. The Southern California area covered by this report is bordered by the Fresno area to the North and the Mexico border to the South.
Mallette is a crafty, high scoring combo-guard, O’Garro is an athletic swingman oozing with long-term HM potential, Hornery has excellent length to go along with a sweet shooting stroke, Elliott is a confident lead guard than can make clutch shots, Yu has massive size and is one of the most improved juniors in the West, Turner can flat-out shoot it with range and Knapper may be small but has extremely good bounce and can finish against length at the cup.
After that it is pretty much wide-open within the next 15 spots as Dixon-Waters and Malik Thomas (both bound for USC) had great junior seasons as did KJ Simpson and Obinna Anyanwu (who suffered a serious car accident injury that raises questions regarding how fast he can return to form), Breidenbach has been a household name in this class for a while now and it’s time for him to take it up a notch this Summer, Mashack is a defensive dynamo with improving scoring skills, Powell is a strong and tough forward that makes winning plays on both ends and Wainwright has nice potential as a high-major scoring guard. That leaves the current top spot for the player with arguably the best long-term potential 6-7 wing Peyton Watson (Poly/Long Beach CA) who is the Moore League’s best prospect since 2008 when future NBA All-Star & Olympian DeMar DeRozan was a human highlight film for Compton HS. SoCal 2021’s top dog for the past 2 years Devin Askew (Mater Dei/Santa Ana CA) decided to re-classify up to the 2020 class and take his talents to Kentucky earlier than expected. Following a strong class like 2020 is not always an easy thing to do but despite SoCal’s Class of 2021’s lack of strong overall quality individual talent, there are some intriguing prospects and good future long-term college players to be harvested.
