Bronny James moves up 11 spots in the final 2023 Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100. Yes, he did play well given his opportunities on the post-season all-star circuit, but there are at least 10 players nationally, including Hot 100 No. 1 Caleb Foster, who likely would have made a positive impression as well, if given the opportunity.

We continue our boys basketball coverage for Gold Club members with a final look at the state’s top college prospects in the senior (2023) class. Our final 2023 Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100 shows many changes and 10 newcomers. This will be the final position for these players since we first saw many of them as rising ninth-graders and some even earlier than that. Our final 2022-23 rankings for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 classes will be published by early June.

The final 2023 Cal-Hi Sports Hot 100 is based on evaluations since our last published Hot 100 updates in January of 2023. That encompasses all CIF play after the
Martin Luther King Jr. weekend and includes the 2022-23 CIF section and regional playoffs, spring leagues and any grassroots evaluations thereafter.
Since the first recruiting cycle affected by the COVID-19 pandemic (2019-20 cycle), we did not publish winter rankings updates and did two updates (post-summer, final) per class. For 2020-21 we only did one set of final rankings, as there wasn’t a NCAA live summer period in 2020 and only a fragmented 2021 CIF spring season. For the 2021-22 cycle and for each cycle going forward, we have decided to publish two updates over the course of the calendar year. As the current recruiting calendar stands and with less demand for high school recruits, there is no need for three updates.
