BYU Coaches Attend Section 7
Cameron Holmes, Dean Rueckert Put on a Show
The Section 7 tournament takes place during the first scholastic live period in June. The Arizona tournament features the best teams from the Western United States, including California, Arizona, Utah and more. There was a handful of players that BYU had offered or contacted on display including Cameron Holmes, Dean Rueckert, Jamyn Sondrup, Darius Wabbington and Gene Roebuck.
Rueckert Lights Up From Three
Dean Rueckert (6’6” Provo, UT, Timpview) seemed to be priority number one for the Cougars as Coach Kevin Young, Coach Brandon Dunson and Director of Recruiting Justin Young were at all of his games. Rueckert shot the ball well as Timpview went 2-2, essentially earning 6th as they beat teams from California and Arizona. Here is Rueckert hitting four threes against eventual bracket champion Salesian.
Millennium has BYU’s attention
The Arizona high school won the other top bracket at the event beating Owyhee (ID) in the final. Millennium features the 18th ranked player in the class of ‘26 Cameron Holmes (6’5” Goodyear, AZ, Millennium)
as well as the the number 10 player in the class of ‘28 Adan Diggs. Both are athletic wings, with good positional height and the ability to shoot the three. In this article Holmes mentioned BYU as school that saw him often, but in a later article he mentioned five schools he wanted to visit and didn’t mention BYU. The Cougars maybe loading up on their pursuit of ‘28 recruit Diggs.
Arizona Big Man Impresses
BYU contacted Darius Wabbington, an elite center from the class of ‘27 as soon as they could contact players from the ‘27 class. Wabbington led his Sunnyslope (AZ) team to a 3-1 record (essentially 3rd) in one of top brackets. Wabbington likely has a relationship with BYU friend of the program Travis Hansen as Hansen was the Assistant Director of Wabbington’s club team for a time. Here are some highlights of Wabbington in his opening game against Utah 5A State Champ Olympus:
