The month of May was busy for the 2023 class in California, as we saw numerous prospects pick up multiple big time offers and rise their stock. The offers will continue to come, so take a look at some California athletes that heated up their recruitment this past month (pt. I):

Lyons was one of the hottest recruits in the country in the month of May, as he picked up 10 offers in the month alone, adding his total up to 24 offers. Texas was first to offer in May, then he followed up with offers from Oklahoma, Ohio State, LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, and most recently Penn State. He sizes up with a tremendous frame and build and possesses a large catch radius with body control. He’s a constant mismatch at the high school level, especially when he’s isolated on a single receiver side given his size, strength, and athleticism. Powerful blocker in the run game with the ability to overpower opponents and finish blocks to the ground, displaying functional strength and great leverage.

After a slow month in April, Rashada saw a major burst in May by picking up 5 offers, all of which coming from P5 programs which included Purdue, Washington, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, and most recently Florida. He sizes up with good length and room to put on weight. Rashada is a 4 star QB with a live arm and a quick, fluid release with the ability to hit all 3 levels of throws with velocity at any depth. A major talent that checks all the boxes to become a multi year starter at P5 program.
[player_tooltip player_id="145164" first="Joey" last="Su’a"], OL, <em>6’5" 315lbs, Adelanto HS</em>
May has been a busy month for Su’a as it kick started his recruitment. Su’a had announced his first offer from Maryland on May 10th, and has since seen a significant spark in his recruitment. He then added offers from Georgia, Oregon, Michigan State, and most recently picked up an offer from Morgan State. He sizes up with an excellent frame and is only scratching the surface of his potential. With the dead period coming to an end, Su’a projects to open the flood gates in his recruitment and see a tremendous amount of interest and offers pour in.
[player_tooltip player_id="25398" first="Makai" last="Lemon"], <em>ATH, 6’0" 175lbs, Los Alamitos HS <img class="alignright wp-image-59716" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/55F38C99-E8AE-463A-8B6B-8B3C2363BB80-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="234" height="234" /></em>
The 5 star ATH has stayed hot with his recruitment, picking up 4 offers in may, giving him around 20 total offers already. The most recent offers came from Oregon, LSU, Texas, and Florida. Lemon is a highly touted prospect with a tremendous upside with the ability to excel on both sides of the ball at the next level. He displays excellent twitch and change of direction with solid all around speed. He holds numerous intangibles and if he continues on the same trajectory, he projects to be a P5 multi year starter on either side of the ball, and is an extremely intriguing national recruit.

Wilson landed 4 offers in the month of May, giving him 10 total offers thus far. He also picked up an Arizona offer on April 30th, then followed that with offers from Oregon State, USC, Oregon, and most recently Washington State. Excellent athlete all around and a standout on both sides of the ball. As a DB, he shows solid closing speed with a low POC. Good patience in man coverage and tracks the hips of receivers well. At WR, he displays a nice initial burst off the LOS and is explosive at the top of his routes. Flexible and speedy athlete with a high ceiling.
