NBA legend Trevor Ariza's son, Tajh Ariza, is a top 10 recruit in the Class of 2026. He used to play alongside Christian Collins at St. Bernard High School before the duo parted ways with the institution.

The 6-foot-7 small forward from Westchester High School reshared a hooping mixtape of the five-star prospect Collins via Instagram on Friday.

Zande Media and Bulldawgs posted a compilation of Christian's games for St. John Bosco at the Washington Invitational Tournament. The mixtape included some spectacular and sleek moves of the 6-8 small forward.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️," Zande Media captioned the original post.

Collins charted 17.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game as St. John Bosco Braves took home the championship without losing a game. Christian Collins was also named in the first Team All-ToC.

His side defeated Metamora in the first game with a scoreline of 74-45. Christian Collins rose to the occasion in the second game, scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds as his side crushed the Paideia School. The game ended with an 85-38 scoreline.

Christian Collins and Co. continued to wreak havoc. They won their next two games against DeKalb Barbs and St. Francis Episcopal Wolves by scores of 77-46 and 72-62, respectively. This seems like a dream start for Collins, who made his debut for St. John Bosco on Nov. 23.

The ace basketball star from the 2026 class already has offers from top universities across the nation, including Kansas State and USC. His performance at the Washington Invitation would certainly open the door for more and better opportunities.

Tajh Ariza opens up about his transfer to Westchester

Tajh Ariza and Christian Collins are currently ranked seventh and ninth overall, respectively, in the Class of 2026. Both of them decided to leave St. Bernard after the completion of the 2023-24 season. Ariza appeared on "The Youngins Podcast" on Nov. 19 to talk about his transfer to Westchester.

"I wasn't really running from nobody," Tajh Ariza said. (15:00)

Tajh Ariza cut the speculations and whispers short, citing the coach's transfer as the reason behind his departure. He didn't want to wait and figure out who was going to coach them next. The youngster added that it felt like a homecoming since his father went there too.

Ariza revealed that his dad's teachers are still there, and they tell him stories about Trevor Ariza. Tajh cleared the air about feeling pressured at his dad's school, saying it's all been fine. He admitted that he works hard and wants to have his own name.
