I think what is impressive is how many of these players could potentially be all-American level players.  Based sort of on the rankings, I would put Gray, Vanslooten, Gardiner, Beers, Jaquez, Jones, Betts, Nnaji, and Gayles all on that list.

Exactly!  

And what I'm most excited about is the increased high level of competition within the PAC 12 with all these Top 10 / Top 25 / Top 50 recruits flooding the PAC 12 teams at the same time, which will hopefully translate to more PAC 12 teams in the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final 4 simultaneously.

Stanford will continue to be a perennial Final 4 shoe-in through the BETTS years (especially if Kiki RICE joins her), but I also see Oregon, Arizona, and UCLA doing the same thing eventually if their topnotch recruiting continues. 

In particular, I feel that UCLA is slowly building something special, because:

-  I like their current triple sophomore post ensemble of 6'4 BESSOIR (2019 French U19 National Team), 6'4 DUGALIC (2021 Croatian Senior National Team to the Tokyo Olympics) and 6'4 ANSTLEY (2019 Australian U19 National Team);

- then there's the Class of 2022 #19 overall 6'0 PF JAQUEZ, #21 overall 5'8 SG CLARK, and #22 overall 5'5 PG Londynn JONES;

- and then there's the Class of 2023 #21 overall 5'6 PG Jada WILLIAMS; 

I feel that JONES and WILLIAMS are both underranked by ESPN Hoopgurlz.  JONES was a highly effective backup PG for the 2019 USA U16 national team, while WILLIAMS was the very efficient starting PG for the 2021 USA U16 national team.
