Early life
editDiggs was raised by a single mother.[1] His first sport was football, but he decided to focus on basketball at age 11.[2] In eighth grade, Diggs attended Inspire Prep Academy, a brand new school in Gilbert, Arizona, for top middle school prospects.[3] He also played for Arizona Unity at the 2023 USA Club Championship in Rock Hill, South Carolina.[4] Before making his high school basketball debut, Diggs hired an agent to navigate the name, image, and likeness (NIL) process.[1]
High school career
editDespite living in Peoria, Diggs chose to enroll at Williams Field High School in Gilbert – not known for its strong basketball program – for his freshman year of high school basketball.[1][2] He immediately took a leadership role on a team with only two seniors.[2][5] As a freshman, Diggs averaged 17 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.[6] He led his team in all three categories.[7] Diggs helped Williams Field to an 18–10 record and an Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) Open Division state playoff berth.[8] He was named a first-team freshman All-American by MaxPreps,[8] as well as an all-state honorable mention by The Arizona Republic.[9]
Ahead of his sophomore year, Diggs transferred to Millennium High School in Goodyear, Arizona, which was closer to his home and had a more established basketball program.[7] He joined a team with several NCAA Division I prospects, including childhood friend and Arizona Wildcats commit Cameron Holmes.[10] Diggs averaged 22.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, four assists, and three steals per game that season, helping his team to a 24–4 record and an appearance in the AIA Open Division state semifinals,[11] where he scored 31 points[a] in a loss to St. Mary's High School.[13] He also earned tournament MVP honors at the 'Iolani Classic in Hawai'i after helping Millennium beat Owyhee High School of Idaho in the final.[14] Diggs was named the MaxPreps National Sophomore of the Year,[11][15] and earned first-team all-state honors from The Arizona Republic.[16]
On May 19, 2026, Diggs announced that he would be reclassifying to the class of 2027.[17]
Recruiting
editA consensus five-star recruit, Diggs was initially ranked as one of the top prospects in the class of 2028.[17] He had nine NCAA Division I offers before playing his first high school game.[1][18] Despite his reclassification to the 2027 class, Diggs remained the top overall recruit according to Rivals.com,[17][19] and moved into the top five according to 247Sports.[20]
