The West Coast Games is a one-of-a-kind event featured the best uncommitted Class of 2023 & select 2024 prospects from throughout the West Region that had been identified by each of the state’s scouting directors. In the inaugural 2021 West Coast Games, teams featured the top Uncommitted 2022 and select 2023 prospects from Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, and this year we were excited to announce the addition of two more teams to the premier Unsigned Senior event of the Summer with Idaho and Canada.
A premier event for uncommitted rising upperclassmen on the West Coast, the PBR West Coast Games gave an unparalleled opportunity to each player in attendance by delivering a “one-stop-shop” for college coaches to recruit in the city of Las Vegas. Beyond the on-looking eyes of scouts and coaches, PBR’s unmatched coverage and commitment to elevating players via advanced metrics and technology (Trackman, Blast Motion and Swift Performance), along with multiple social media platforms, providing elite exposure for each player in attendance.
Today, we highlight the statistical standouts from the Team Nevada workout at the 2022 West Coast Games.
