Our boys basketball coverage for Gold Club VIPs rolls on with a look at the state’s top college prospects in each class. We just published our 2023 Hot 100 for seniors and now we take a look at the Hot 100 juniors (2024). Our Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100 for this class expands from a Top 65 and we’ll come back and publish our final rankings for 2022-23 in early summer 2023.

The first 2024 Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100 for the 2022-23 school year is based on evaluations from non-viewing showcases since August, various fall leagues and through MLK weekend of the regular season. These rankings are based on college potential, not high school performance, although the baseline of where we begin with each prospect begins with high school basketball.
We’ll follow this report with our post-summer player rankings for the 2025 class (Top 65) and introduce the Class of 2026 (Top 25). In the coming months, we’ll continue publishing our archived Hot 100s as part of the most comprehensive California state player rankings you’ll find on the internet that you can sort through using the easy-to-use dropdown menu below. We’ll continue to roll out more enhanced features on the Hot 100 players where you’ll be able to search through our vast profiles and evaluations. We’ll highlight California’s individual players — past, present, and future — better than it’s ever been done before.
The previous ranking listed in the 2024 post-summer Hot 100 refers to the player’s position in the previous list we published in June 2022 after the high school season and spring evaluation period in conjunction with the Hoop Scoop, our partner for boys basketball national player rankings.
