Cal
Scout Report
A versatile wing with untapped potential has quietly made one of the most intriguing commitments in the class of 2025.
Background
Hailing from Zephyrhills, Florida, Caleb Sanders developed his game at North Tampa Christian Academy, a program known for developing well-rounded student-athletes. The 6-6 forward has flown under the radar throughout much of his high school career, working to refine his skills away from the spotlight of major recruiting circuits.
Playing Style
Sanders brings an intriguing combination of size and versatility at the small forward position, with the frame to guard multiple positions and the mobility to play both inside and on the perimeter. His 6-6 frame gives him natural advantages in rebounding and finishing around the rim, while his developing skill set suggests potential as a stretch forward who can space the floor. The raw tools are evident, but Sanders will need to continue developing his consistency from beyond the arc and tighten his ball-handling to maximize his impact at the collegiate level. His motor and coachability make him an attractive developmental prospect for programs willing to invest in his long-term growth.
Recruitment
Despite being ranked #160 nationally in the class of 2025, Sanders committed to Cal without reported major offers from other programs, suggesting the Golden Bears identified value others may have overlooked. His projection as a developmental piece with significant upside makes him an intriguing addition to Cal's recruiting class, with the potential to contribute meaningfully as he matures physically and refines his skill set.
