Boys BB: Introducing 2021 Class
Our boys basketball coverage for Gold Club VIPs continues with a first look at the state’s top incoming ninth-graders. The freshman (2021) class has some elite talent in the post and on the wing, but a top-flight pass-first point guard has yet to emerge. Many in the group are already mature and it’s important to keep that in mind when projecting future success, especially for post players who often develop later. Some of the state’s better freshmen also won’t contribute right away because they are joining strong programs with veteran players.

The first 2021 Cal-Hi Sports Top 25 for the 2017-18 school year is based on evaluations from this past summer’s NCAA viewing periods and non-viewing showcases and middle school events over the past year.
The baseline of where we begin with each prospect begins with high school basketball, so keep that in mind when you view the initial rankings for the 2021 class because none of them have played a regulation varsity basketball game yet. These rankings will expand as we see varsity games this winter and change over time as players develop and new ones emerge during the 2017-18 high school season. Cal-Hi Sports realizes some talented ninth-graders will sit behind talented upperclassmen, while a select few remain in junior high this school year. We did not factor in projected playing time with the high school team into our rankings. We also realize not every 2021 prospect participated in a spring or summer showcase or with their high school team this fall and we might not have had an opportunity to evaluate them. That’s why we limit this list to 25 players.
There was many prospects we considered for the top spot, but when the dust settled we went with power forward Wilhelm Dorsz from Mater Dei of Santa Ana. Dorsz is expected to contribute quality minutes for the state’s preseason No. 1 ranked team. The 6-foot-8 Dorsz is aggressive, competitive and excels with a variety of post moves, including a sweeping left hand hook shot. He had some impressive moments for the Monarchs this summer and fall, including at the Ron Massey Memorial Fall Hoops Classic.
