USA Basketball invites 13 high school basketball standouts to U19 National Team training camp

United States Basketball invited a baker’s dozen of high school basketball standouts to the Men’s U19 National Team training camp. That’s more than one-third of the 33-man pool that will start training in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in June.
Tyran Stokes leads the high school basketball contingent based on the On3 Industry Ratings. The top-ranked prospect from the Class of 2026 will spend his final season at Notre Dame High School.
In addition to Stokes, seven of the top 11 prospects will also participate in the training camp. This group includes Brandon McCoy, Christian Collins, Jordan Smith Jr., Caleb Holt, Jason Crowe Jr., Tahj Ariza, and Caleb Gaskins.
McCoy and Collins will play for St. John Bosco’s California campuses in Bellflower and Playa Del Rey, respectively. Smith will enter his senior year in Virginia’s Paul VI Catholic School. Holt will lead Geogia’s Grayson High School and Crowe will be the go-to guy at Inglewood High School.
Tahj, former NBA player Trevor Ariza’s son, will collaborate with Collins, while Gaskins will represent Florida’s Columbus High School. Other high school basketball standouts in the training pool include Jaxon Richardson, ranked 16th among the Class of 2026, and Cameron Holmes, ranked one spot behind Jason Richardson’s younger son.
Richardson will team up with Gaskins as they try to win a fifth consecutive Class 7A state championship for Columbus. Meanwhile, Holmes will complete his high school basketball career at Arizona’s Millennium High School.
