keith dinwiddie. pangos all american camp.

Keith Dinwiddie 6’2” 2020 Fairfax (Los Angeles CA)
West Coast national 2020 sleeper has natural scoring instincts including a very on-point mid-range game.  Very good athlete is a Kyle Lowry-type scoring lead guard.  Colorado, Texas, Marquette, Arizona State, San Diego State, UC-Santa Barbara (offer) and Montana (offer) are among the schools expressing interest.  Dinwiddie has been invited to this week’s NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville VA.

Xavier Foster 6’10” 2020 Oskaloosa Community (Oskaloosa IA)

Terren Frank 6’8” 2020 Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth CA)                                     Frank is a high-scoring wing forward that is a Pac12 priority recruiting target. Versatility, scoring touch and rebounding prowess equate into HM value and he’s got plenty of it.  Match-up problem for both bigger PFs as well as smaller wing players. Terren (#33 by ESPN.com in 2020) has attracted offers from Arizona, USC, Arizona State, Oregon State, Colorado, Cal, San Diego State, Western Kentucky (dad Tellis starred there prior to going to NBA) and TCU.

Josh Hall 6’9” 2020 Moravian Prep (Hickory NC)
Long and skilled forward with excellent shooting touch.  Currently ranked #85 nationally by 247Sports.com but after his impressive play here, look for his status to rise among all national outlets.  Hall has many in pursuit including offers from Florida, Kansas, Georgia, Georgetown, Maryland, Texas, Rutgers, Maryland, Pitt, Providence, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State.

Dominick Harris 6’4” 2020 Rancho Christian (Temecula CA)                        Confident scorer has knack for tingling the cords (averaged 12.0 ppg here).  Gonzaga-bound WG will team with #1 2020 Evan Mobley to form a dangerous combination for Ray Barefield’s Rancho Christian Eagles next season.


Harrison Ingram 6’7” 2021 St. Mark’s (Dallas TX)
Well-built WF with very nice scoring instincts as well as excellent marks in the classroom.

Isaiah Johnson 6’7” 2020 Bishop Montgomery (Torrance CA)
Athletic and hardworking hybrid-forward can defend with tenacity both in the paint and out on the perimeter.  Crafty scorer around the cup and improved 3-point shooter was efficient in Top 60 Game with 8 points on 4/5 FG (including an impressive tip-jam).  Isaiah has reported offers from UC-Irvine and Rutgers and is now hearing from UC-Santa Barbara (scheduled to visit there later this month), Oregon State, Marquette, Washington State and New Mexico.  Isaiah’s Bishop Montgomery squad will be on display for D1 coaches later this month (June 21-23) at the Section 7 Team Camp (NCAA certified) in Phoenix AZ.

Arthur Kaluma 6’7” 2021 Universal Academy (Irving TX)
Co-MVP of last Fall’s Pangos All-South Frosh/Soph Camp is a bona-fide big time scorer that averaged 12.5 ppg here.  Arthur (ranked #34 in 2021 by Rivals.com) was impressive in the Top 60 Game, scoring 12 points. Shaping up as a Big 12 target, Kaluma reminds me of former scorer-deluxe WF Jordan Hamilton (Texas/NBA).  

Alex Karaban 6’7” 2022 Algonquin Regional (Northborough MA)
Skilled and crafty young wing forward is deceptively athletic.  Karaban (only a rising soph) is definitely a national name for the future for his Expressions Elite Nike program.

Franck Kepnang 6’11” 2021 Westtown (West Chester PA)                         Mammoth-sized center is a load to deal with in the paint.  Physical rebounder and finisher in traffic is also a top-notch student.  Ranked #17 by 247Sports.com, Franck has already been offered by UConn, Pitt, Syracuse, Vanderbilt and St. Louis.

Jahmai Mashack 6’4” 2021 Etiwanda (Etiwanda CA)  Mashack got a very late invite to this camp and made the most of his opportunity by playing his way into the Top 60 Game.  Excellent defender and aggressive scorer off the slash (averaged 12.0 ppg here). Tremendous work ethic and kid! Only a matter of time before he enters the national rankings.


Jamal Mashburn Jr. 6’2” 2020 Brewster Academy (Wolfeboro NH)                      Son of former Kentucky/NBA forward Jamal Mashburn Sr., is a Top 100 caliber talent with offers from UConn, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, Miami FL, Louisville, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn and Yale.

Bayron Matos 6’8” 2020 Hamilton Heights Christian (Chattanooga TN) Big and physical rebounder has committed to Mississippi State.  Dominican Republic native and 2020 Rivals 150 member has the potential to be a factor in SEC.

Mike Miles 6’2” 2020 Lancaster (Lancaster TX)Athletic and assertive PG is an excellent penetrator and pesky defender.  A current member of the 2020 Rivals 150 (and rising), Mike has offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, SMU, TCU, LSU, Houston and Butler.

chris moore. pangos all american.

Chris Moore 6’6” 2020 West Memphis (West Memphis AR)
Strong as an ox swingman with great bounce is difficult to stop to the hoop.  Moore was impressive in the Top 60 Game, producing 15 points (on 7/9 FG). Chris is currently ranked #80 in 2020 by Rivals.com but based on his fine play this Spring in the Nike EYBL and here (15.0 ppg), I expect him to make a sizeable jump in the national rankings.  Shaping up as a priority recruit for Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Memphis, Oklahoma State, SMU, Miami FL and Ole Miss.

Clifford Omoruyi 6’11” 2020 Roselle Catholic (Roselle NJ)
Very improved center/forward is a formidable rim-protector and legitimate post scoring option. #46 in nation in 2020 by 247Sports.com, Cliff has offers from Kentucky, Auburn, UConn, Florida, Illinois, Syracuse, Seton Hall, West Virginia, South Carolina, Rutgers and NC State.

Kevin (KJ) Pruitt 6’4” 2020 Lewisville (Lewisville TX)

Sharp-shooting WG played well here.  Has early offers from St. John’s, Illinois and Rhode Island.

Adama Sanogo 6’9” 2021 Our Savior New American (Centerreach NY)  
Outstanding rebounder (#4 in camp with 5.8 rpg) and improving interior scorer.  Has early offers from Oregon, Rutgers, Creighton and TCU. Adama has played very well for the NY Rens this Spring in the Nike EYBL (averaging 9.7 rpg).

Deivon Smith 6’0” 2020 Grayson (Loganville GA)                                          Extremely bouncy lead guard is exciting in transition.  Smith scored at a high-clip here (13.3 ppg) and is hard to contain off the bounce.  Atlanta Celtics AAU star is ranked #42 in 2020 by 247Sports.com and has offers from Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Clemson, LSU, Florida, Louisville, Mississippi State and Xavier.

Julian Strawther 6’7” 2020 Liberty (Las Vegas NV)
Gonzaga-bound WF can really score at a high-clip and is ESPN.com’s #35 prospect in 2020. Strawther averaged 10.8 ppg here.  One of the main focal points for a talented Vegas Elite squad on the Nike EYBL circuit.

Noah Taitz 6’4” 2020 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
Clutch-shooting WG has accurate shooting touch from beyond the 3-point arc.  Excellent student and bouncy athlete is hearing from the likes of Stanford, St. Mary’s, USC and Washington. Co-MVP of the 2018 Tarkanian Classic.

tj wainwright. pangos all american.

Tsalta (TJ) Wainwright 6’2” 2021 Santa Monica (Santa Monica CA) 6-2 2021 lefty flamethrower averaged 15.3 ppg and helped lead his camp squad to a 4-0 record. Shifty playmaker has very confident 3-point stroke.  Was 50% from the field (4/8) and from the 3-point arc (2/4) en route to 11 points in Top 60 Game.  Has heard so far from the likes of Arizona, LSU (has unofficially visited), USC (has unofficially visited), Vanderbilt, San Diego State, Tulane and Santa Clara.

Malachi Wideman 6’5” 2020 Riverview (Sarasota FL)  Florida State-bound 2-sport star is ultra-athletic and a terror in transition.

Mwani Wilkinson 6’6” 2020 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas NV)
Pogo-stick swingman with improving perimeter stroke is one of the biggest sleepers in the nation.  Recently offered by TCU, UNLV, New Mexico, UC-Santa Barbara and Cal State Northridge.

Michael Williams 6’3” 2023 San Ysidro (San Ysidro CA)                                     Young phenom with a tremendous social media following more than held his own here (10.3 ppg).  Power WG can finish above the rim and has nice perimeter range on jump shot. Considered by many as the top freshman entering the high school ranks next Fall.

In our next report (Part III) we will highlight several participants who did not get selected to any of the two all-stars game but deserved to be mentioned due to their fine play.
