One of high school girls basketball's most highly-anticipated offseason events every year, California Live 2025 is hours away from tipoff in Roseville.

Roughly 120 renowned programs will participate, primarily teams from Northern California but also from SoCal and other West Coast states. That means hundreds of current high school stars and future collegiate players will be in action, including many Division I recruits and other high-caliber college prospects, in front of college scouts during the NCAA live viewing period.

So, it seems nearly impossible to make a satisfactorily thorough list of the top players to watch – except the folks at Cali Live already have us covered.

In the tweet embedded below from the event's official X/Twitter account, you'll find a list of dozens of the biggest names in action. Keep in mind that many participating teams have more than one or two players who college scouts in attendance will be monitoring, so there are significantly more standout players than can be listed here.

The three ESPN Top-100 prospects expected to play are Bishop O'Dowd junior point guard and Ohio State commit Myella Chapman (No. 54 in Class of 2027) and two Archbishop Mitty Monarchs, senior wing Devin Cosgriff (No. 69 in Class of 2026) and sophomore post Maliya Hunter (No. 18 in Class of 2028).
