Five-star junior Darius Wabbington talks recruitment, junior season

Posted Jan 9, 2026
It has been quite the week for Darius Wabbington, five-star big man out of Sunnyslope High School (Arizona). The 6-foot-10 dynamo of a big man took home MVP honors at HoopHall West, and his team captured yet another trophy during Wabbington’s junior year. His MVP award was well-deserved. He averaged 21.0 points and 10 boards at the event. (Stock Risers)
