The OCVarsity boys basketball preseason top 25 for 2018-19:
O.C. PRESEASON TOP 25
1. Mater Dei: Mater Dei at No. 1 is as common as turkey at Thanksgiving. Gary McKnight’s 37th season should be another winning one. The Monarchs, last season’s CIF-Southern Section Open Division champions, have 6-3 sopohomore guard Devin Askew who already is getting plenty of recruiting attention. Ryan Evans, a 6-3 guard who transferred from Santa Margarita, is an excellent 3-point shooter. Wilhelm Breidenbach is a 6-8 sophomore who anchors the inside. Mater Dei, 23-7 last year, has plenty of depth and looks like another top candidate in the CIF-SS Open Division.
2. Santa Margarita: This might be the best Eagles team in several years. UCLA-committed Jake Kyman (6-7) might be Orange County’s top player. Max Agbonkpolo (6-8), who committed to USC, will provide plenty of scoring punch. Shengzhe Li, committed to BYU, is a 6-11 senior who could be among the county’s most improved players. Santa Margarita was 20-10 last season and finished second in the Trinity League.
3. Orange Lutheran: The Lancers are a year older, a lot taller and lot better than the team that last season finished 11-17 overall and fifth in the six-team Trinity League. Makur Maker, a 7-foot junior center from Sudan and cousin of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Thon Maker, is a matchup problem for most teams. Utah State commit Cade Potter is poised for an outstanding senior year as are Tre Anderson (6-0, Sr., G) and Isaiah Pope (6-5, Sr., G).
4. Villa Park: The Spartans have one of the county’s better players, Julien Franklin (6-6, Sr., G) who committed to Oregon State. Charleston Moore (6-6, Sr., F) was All-North Hills League first team last season. Gabe Barrios (6-3, Sr, G) is a consistent outside shooter. The Spartans finished 15-12 last year and move from the North Hills League in which they were 6-0 last year to the more challenging Crestview League that also has Canyon, Esperanza and Foothill.
5. JSerra: New coach Keith Wilkinson has a talented roster. Ian Martinez (6-3, Jr., G), who transferred from Cantwell Sacred Heart of Montebello, has scholarship offers from Arizona State and Cal among others. DJ Rodman (6-5, Sr., F) was All-Trinity League second team last season. Hugo Clarkin (7-0, Jr., C), a transfer from Tesoro, is getting better by the week.
6. Pacifica Christian: The Tritons lost their best player from last year, point guard Dominick Harris, who transferred to Rancho Christian, but they will be better this season thanks to incoming transfers and others who were at the school last year but were ineligible. Judah Brown (6-7, Jr., G/F) has 15 scholarship offers. Solomon Davis (6-7, Sr., G/F) is strong inside and can shoot outside. Houston Mallette (6-4, So., G) is a tough matchup as a larger point guard.
7. Canyon: AJ Perry (5-8, Sr, G), last year’s Crestview League MVP, is among Orange County’s top point guards. Sami Abdelahad (6-8, Sr., F) was an all-league, second-team selection last year when the Comanches went 25-4 and won the Crestview League championship. Maximus Bo (5-9, Sr., G), a transfer from Crean Lutheran, will be a good fit in Canyon’s intense, fast-paced style.
8. Tesoro: The Titans have six returnees from last year’s team that finished 17-10. Noah Honetschlager (6-8, Sr., F), All-South Coast League second team last season, is getting recruited by NCAA Division II and III schools, as are brothers Triston and Tyler Broughton, who areboth 6-3 senior guards. Matt Jones (5-10, Sr., G) is a fine point guard. Tesoro is in the Sea View League this season.
9. Cypress: Jared Brown (5-10, Sr., G) was an Empire League MVP last season when the Centurions went 10-0 in league and finished 24-5 overall. Clifton Patterson (6-1, Sr, G) and Anthony Tello (6-1, Sr., G) were all-league second team in 2017-18. The Centurions are not tall but quickness and good shooting will make up for that.
10. Fairmont Prep: Second-year coach Joedy Gardner, who previously coached at JSerra, has remodeled the Huskies into one of Orange County’s better small-school teams, if no eligibility issues derail the project. Atin Wright (6-1, Jr., G) was on the Press-Telegram Dream Team first team last season when he was at Lakewood. Kofi Aboagye (6-2, Sr., G) was an outstanding scorer and rebounder last season for the Huskies who finished 21-6 and reached the CIF-SS Division 5AAA quarterfinals. Pape Cisse (6-8, So., G/F) and Abel Jimenez (6-4, Sr., G) will help propel what could be a potent offense.
