CERRITOS -- Top 25 sophomore Josh Christopher looks poised for a run at five-star status and was outstanding at the Pangos All-West Frosh/Soph Camp. Who joined him on National Analyst Eric Bossi's first and second teams from camp.

ALL PANGOS FIRST TEAM

Bossi's take: For my money, Christopher was the camp's MVP. Since I first saw him in late April he's grown a good three inches and added some power and explosive athleticism to his crafty scoring game. He's also a big time jump shooter from deep and could be on his way to five-star status.

Early recruitment: At the beginning of May he had no offers, he now has offers from Arizona, California, UCSB, Florida State, UCLA, USC, UNLV and Oregon among others.

Bossi's take: We have him ranked No. 1 in the country and Green showed flashes of that. For much of the camp, though, Green had things in cruise control and I can't really blame him. Whenever he decided he wanted to make something happen he got to the basket with ease or drew fouls. Continuing to get consistency with his jumper is going to be the key to staying on top.

Early recruitment: Offers from Arizona, Creighton, Fresno State, USC, Washington, UNLV, Villanova, UConn, Oregon, Cal and others have already offered.

Bossi's take: Ten or 15 years ago I would have been really worried about Mobley's lack of strength, but now I'm wise enough to prioritize his skill. He can shoot to the three point line, has a high level feel for the game and plays hard. Like Christopher, I could eventually see him ascending to five-star status.

Early recruitment: Mobley's older brother Isaiah Mobley is a top 30 prospect in 2019 and while he said they don't have to go to school toghether, there's a good chance they do. Alabama, Miami, Stanford, UCLA, Arizona State, Washington, USC and San Diego State have offered.

Bossi's take: Juzang didn't come to the All-West camp to not shoot the ball, that much was evident. Though he was a little trigger happy at times, he was also almost impossible to guard because of his size, ability to handle the ball and overall athleticism. He's a pure scorer.

Early recruitment:UCLA, USC, California, Oregon, Arizona State, Washington, Miami, Alabama, Tulane and Cal State Northridge are among his offers.

Bossi's take: Watching Cottrell, I was reminded some of a young Jared Jeffries. I was impressed by how well he moves, his ability to shoot from deep and that he can put the ball on the floor from the high post. His strengths fit the direction of today's game and he's got unlimited upside.

Early recruitment: Virginia Tech, Creighton and Stanford are his most recent offers along with the likes of Arizona, UNLV, Washington, St. John's, UCSB, Oklahoma State, New Mexico, LSU, USC and others.

ALL PANGOS SECOND TEAM

Bossi's take: For a freshman, Hardy has a well developed body and I was impressed by his physicality and confidence. A deep jump shooter by trade, he is natural born scorer from the perimeter.

Early recruitment: UNLV and Georgia Tech have already offered.

Bossi's take: Clark seemed to be a bit hampered by a slight ankle injury on Sunday, but what I saw on Saturday was more than enough. He's tough, he has balance between his slashing and jump shooting and he seems to look a little bigger and a little better each time I see him.

Early recruitment: UNLV, Boise State, New Mexico State, Tulane, Cal State Northridge and UC Riverside have offered. Clark feels USC is on the verge of giving him his first Pac 12 offer and he's visiting UNLV this weekend.

Bossi's take: Agbo showed up unheralded and without much of a reputation. His game did all the speaking he needed. He is a tough finisher, plays defense and has a very nice motor and budding perimeter game.

Early recruitment: Agbo listed UC Irvine as his only offer.

Bossi's take: The more I watched Terry throughout the weekend, the more I became convinced he's a legit prospect. Because he passes so well, I could eventually see him as point guard with size and length. He's just a pup physically and has big upside.

Early recruitment: Grand Canyon offered a few weeks ago and I'd bet Terry ends up with Pac 12 type offers before it's all said and done.

Bossi's take: One of the most aggressive scorers in camp, Burnett has no lack of confidence. I feel like shot selection is something he'll learn with time but I love that first instinct he has to attack. He's also sneaky athletic and appears to be hitting a growth spurt.

Early recruitment: He's from Chicago and it's not surprising to see early offers from DePaul and Illinois.
