If there was any doubt that this will be the season of the backcourt in Bay Area boys basketball, it was largely removed on National Signing Day on Wednesday.
Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland became the first Bay Area school to send two guards to Pac-12 schools in the same year when Elijah Hardy signed with Washington and Naseem Gaskin with Utah. The two will join Paris Austin, another O’Dowd guard, in the Pac-12. Austin, who transferred to Cal from Boise State in the spring, is sitting out this season because of transfer rules.
Two other high-profile local guards also signed: James Akinjo of Salesian-Richmond with Connecticut, and Logan Johnson of St. Francis with Cincinnati.
