City of Basketball Love

As the start of the high school basketball season nears (or has already begun for some) it felt an appropriate time to check in on what’s happened in the local recruiting scene during the first few months of the school year.

There have been a flurry of commitments and others just starting to receive their first college interest. The Big 5 2024 classes are rounding into shape, while some have even started locking down 2025 recruits. 

Here’s a recap of what’s gone down (let us know if we missed anything):
