Stanford
Scout Report
The Cardinal landed one of the West Coast's most coveted shooting guards when they secured a commitment from this nationally-ranked talent.
Background
Hailing from Santa Maria, California, Julius Price has developed into one of the premier prospects on the West Coast recruiting circuit. The 6-2 shooting guard suits up for St. Joseph, where he plays alongside elite talent including Tounde Yessoufou, the #13 prospect in the 2025 class who committed to Baylor, and rising 2028 point guard Aidan Carter.
Playing Style
Price brings a smooth shooting stroke and natural scoring instincts that make him dangerous from all three levels. His 6-2 frame allows him to shoot over smaller defenders while possessing the athleticism to attack the rim effectively. He displays excellent court vision and basketball IQ, making him a versatile backcourt weapon who can play both on and off the ball. While his offensive skillset is polished, continuing to add strength and defensive consistency will be key areas for development at the next level.
Recruitment
Price's impressive offer sheet of 11 Division I programs, including power conference schools like Stanford, Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington, speaks to his high ceiling as a prospect. His commitment to Stanford gives the Cardinal a versatile guard who should develop into a key contributor in the Pac-12. Ranked #90 nationally in the loaded 2026 class, Price projects as a player who could make an immediate impact at the college level.
