This weekend marks the 12th edition of the Pangos All-American Camp in Long Beach, Calif., and as always some of the country's top talent will be on hand taking part in the event. There are plenty of Arizona recruits expected to participate at the three-day event, including the Wildcats' top-rated prospect in the 2015 class.

Here's a look at some of the notable 2015 Arizona targets who are expected to be in attendance this weekend.

Tyler Dorsey: The Arizona commit is expected to be one in attendance this weekend, and so far Dorsey has had a solid season on the travel circuit with DreamVision. The five-star guard was one of the top prospects in attendance at the event last year and with Stanley Johnson no longer able to attend the camp it will be interesting to see if Dorsey take over where Johnson left off with an MVP nod at the event. The Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco recruit tweeted recently that he is still very much locked into his commitment with the Wildcats.

It will be interesting to see how much he has progressed this season when he gets matched up with some of the other elite recruits in the class.

Ray Smith: The Las Vegas, Nev., wing continues to be one of the hottest names out West on the recruiting trail, and it was at this very event last year when Smith was able to impress plenty of scouts and media with his play at the camp. Now with a narrowed down list that includes the Wildcats Smith will be one of the bigger attractions at the event as he tests his skills against some of the other top prospects in the country. Arizona continues to do well with the 6-foot-7 prospect and it is one of the schools that will receive an official visit at some point in the process.

Chase Jeter: The five-star big man from Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman is getting close to making his college decision, and he is also in the midst of a huge spring on the travel circuit. Jeter has been a double-double machine for DreamVision this spring and the production has gone up in a big way in many statistical categories for him. The 6-foot-10 recruit is a prospect who always seems to be getting better in some way each time you watch him, so it will be interesting to see how he stacks up against some of the other competition at the event.

Stephen Zimmerman: Jeter's Bishop Gorman counterpart made the move over to the Nike circuit this spring playing with the Oakland Soldiers and he has taken some time to adjust to playing with his new squad. The five-star center remains one of the top prospects in the country, and he was dominant at the event last year. Zimmerman had one of the biggest dunks of the event in 2013, and this type of venue allows him to do some things that he doesn't necessarily get to do in more of a set offense.

Arizona is still in the mix for Zimmerman, but there is still a long way to go before he gets down the road to a decision.

Dejounte Murray: The Seattle (Wash.) Rainier Beach guard has had some interest from Arizona so far in the process, and he's another one who is really starting to pick up steam on the recruiting trail. Murray already has some nice offers to his name and a good showing this summer could certainly bring more. Camp settings tend to let the guards and wing players shine more so than big men, so it could be a perfect time for the four-star recruit to showcase his abilities in front of a number of scouts and media.

That kind of buzz can make its way to college coaches and bring offers, so it could be a big weekend for the West Coast guard.

Check back later for a look at a few of the 2016 prospects expected to be in attendance this weekend in Long Beach.
