Boys' Basketball: Sierra Canyon adding firepower

Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth could have the top class of incoming freshman this season.

Multiple sources have said Devin Burleson and Namon Wright will be enrolling this week along with sophomore-to-be Jahmel Taylor from Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks.

Burleson (6'7) has already been offered a scholarship by USC. Wright is a fast-developing combo guard.

Another freshman, Marsellis Johnson, the brother of former Campbel Hall of North Hollywood standout James Johnson has been slated for Sierra Canyon since early last year.

In a stroke of good luck for the Trailblazers as well, it is expected that Brian Alberts will stay at Sierra Canyon for high school after checking out Sylmar and Oaks Christian of Westlake Village this summer.

Adding these five players will only strengthen a team that returns brothers Michael and Daniel Cohen and juniors Julian Brooks and Jesse Howell.

New coach Ryan Silver will have a loaded deck come December.
