Hurricanes commit Caleb Gaskins has been named to the Boys West roster.
Gaskins ranks as the No. 14 player in the 2026 Class according to Rivals and is a five-star recruit for the Canes. He is the second-highest commit overall in Hurricanes history, as he trusted Jai Lucas even before the season started.
