β Cali Rebels (@calirebelsmbb) April 9, 2022I believe in the hyper local experts and their opinions. So when @FullTimeHoops1 says βhey, you need to see Jaden Matingouβ you heed the advice. Glad I did. 6-3, explosive CG from β23 class. Tools, man. Could see him being a major riser. Has some stuff to him that opens eyes. pic.twitter.com/AcoQpEIRD7
β Justin Young (@JustinDYoung) April 10, 20226-11 2023 C Martin Gumwel (Rancho Christian/ Gamepoint) is a professional rebounder. He pursues boards in and out of his area with a ferocity you rarely see at the HS level. Heβs also a high-level rim protector to boot. @StageCircuit pic.twitter.com/OQZ3iFd5Oe
β Aaron Burgin (@FullTimeHoops1) April 10, 2022The fastest rising prospect in the gym might be 6-3 2023 G Jaden Matingou (St. Augustine/ Gamepoint). Displaying innate physical gifts while also showing he can play on and off the ball. Upside is off the charts. pic.twitter.com/WTGKh4365W

I havenβt seen a lot of the class of β26, but Iβd imagine 6-3 Team Zona PG Caleb Newton Jr. has to be near the top of the list of guards. Elite physical tools pair with high-level feel, pace and skill. Headed to Birmingham HS. pic.twitter.com/OUUqH1j2kD
