Coastal West Hoops Report

Tonight I’ll be beginning the breakdown of my Top 10 2026 recruits in the state of Washington including names like: Brady Hennig 6’7 SG/SF Yabi Aklog 6’10 PF/C Jackson Whitaker 6’2 PG/SG Ethan Harris 6’8 SF/PF @BradyHennig @yabiaklog @Jack_whitaker22 @EthanHarris35

@huskies333 @Seattle_Jay1 @dickfain @UW_MBB @UWCoachSprinks They have seven players suiting up. Won’t be accepting any invites to a post season tourney.

@Seattle_Jay1 @dickfain @UW_MBB @UWCoachSprinks Yea I believe so. 1 million in nil for the winner I think it is

Big props to @UW_MBB and @UWCoachSprinks Could have easily packed it in prior to the tournament. They didn’t. Could have easily packed it in down 13 against USC. They didn’t. Could have easily packed it in today down 18. They didn’t.

@Sam_Seliga @UWDP_maxvroom Bryson left the team, Franck injured, Jasir had a heart procedure a few weeks back, Ognacevic out for season because of reinjuring his foot in a walkthrough

@UWDP_maxvroom Max we gotta any info on the depth issue? Can’t find any updated info anywhere about what’s up with Bryson, Frank, Jasir and JO. I know it’s a long shot we keep going but we would have more of a chance with more than 7 scholarship players and no one’s been talking about it.

Espn has Steinbach going 15th to...OKC.

Beach proved what we thought all year long. Wished we could’ve had EC in that final over Lincoln ngl. You have to have size to play with Beach.

@EvansRankings District 2 is known as the best in the state BUT Kingco had a great weekend Metro not so much

Now that the weekend is over what are your takeaways from the Regional Round? What did you see that impressed you? Feel free to leave any thoughts or opinions here.

@EvansRankings What’s funny is if we are going off eye test every district 2 team should be in the top 8. Sucks that they have multiple state level teams not get in every year.

@EvansRankings @830finestt Not that it matters but Bellevues 2nd & 3rd best players didn’t play today Jones & Norrah

@830finestt Man I gotta figure out how to get the computer to rank the Metro teams accurately. You think they earn the 3 seed? It’s pretty clear them O’Dea and Beach are heads and shoulders above everyone else

@Iamfreddro Swear I could name a ton of kids from metro and kingco right now

It has to be the west coast bias, I’m seeing kids who are 1st team with 1K points can’t even get a d2. Them same kids go Midwest or east then end up at oral Roberts, Robert morris type schools.

@830finestt This picture the media trying to paint on Seattle hoops is crazy… They weren’t doing this back in 2017 when MPJ came to Nathan Hale.

WOW… coming from Craig I can’t believe he saying no comp in 3A What in the world are you smoking????

After a hiatus I’ll be back on Twitter for the rest of the WA state playoffs. Any predictions for State Champs?

@CSmithBball You don’t realize that 3A is the best level of hoops in Washington state. Plenty of D1 guys throughout.

Very interested to see what he does next year in college after playing against no competition in 3A ball in Seattle.

Congrats to our star senior guard @Jack_whitaker22 on his commitment to @SPU_Basketball Can’t wait to catch some games next year!

@MikeRice32 @EvansRankings Odea is a great team but that’s what everyone said last year. Then Odea went and lost to bishop Blanchet in the first round of districts.

@EvansRankings ODea easily beats Bellarmine, Monroe, Liberty, Sedro-Wollery, and the rest of these pretenders. How is this possible so late in the season?

@leggoshero @JonRothstein Didn’t beat Washington on the road.

@JonRothstein Seattle has beaten Stanford & Washington on the road this yr. 12-3. top 35 ranked Defense. Former Zag on the roster. They can play. Zags home court quiet as a mouse with student section gone on break. Gonzaga down 13 with 8 mins to go and pulled out a win. Credit to Seattle.

An incredible comeback for Gonzaga. A heartbreaking loss for Seattle. But one thing we learned tonight? Chris Victor's program was an incredible addition to the WCC. Heck of a ball coach.

@MichaelDMasini @Jack_whitaker22 @TysonBurley @TreyCollier_ @Certified_dav1k @ChayceBabyWaite #5 Eastside Catholic The Crusaders had an up and down year in 24-25. Fresh off of a State Championship they had to adjust to life after Virginia bound Jacob Cofie graduated (now at USC). They have the best big in the state in @yabiaklog as well as elite c/o 2028 @TytanMcNeal24

@MichaelDMasini @Jack_whitaker22 @TysonBurley @TreyCollier_ @Certified_dav1k @ChayceBabyWaite #6 Odea The fighting Irish had a rough playoff loss in the first round to Blanchet this year. I’m looking at them to bounce back big time. They lose Breylon Webb but retain most of their roster and will continue to be the most physical team in the state.

Will be listing my top 10 3A/4A teams going into next year. Been a fun spring and summer watching tons of PNW hoops. First my 3A top 10.
