Why them: La Lumiere of the West Coast? Sierra Canyon loses as much talent as virtually any other program in the country, and more celebrity to boot. Gone are the explosive trio of Cassius Stanley — a Chosen 25 Duke commit — K.J. Martin (son of Kenyon Martin) and Scottie Pippen Jr. (son of Scottie Pippen).

But four-star power forward Terren Frank returns to lead the front line, and freshman Amari Bailey, already a UCLA recruit, return to anchor Sierra Canyon’s run back to the California state tournament. All of that comes before the potential of additional reinforcements from other Southern California power programs, many of which are flush with top end talent that has a tendency to move around.
