6’6 Sam Phipps (Sky View High School)
Sam is an athletic lengthy forward that can run the floor. He blocks shots and finishes around the rim. He has a good looking shot from 15 feet and in.
6’4 F Justin Rodgers (Tooele High School)
Justin has a knack for the ball as he hauls in over 8 rebounds a game. He has soft hands and is tough down low on the blocks. He can shoot the ball from the outside but is more effective from 15 feet and in.
6’8 Luke Armstrong (Cedar City High School)
The big fella can move. He is still raw in his position as he tends to only go to his right with his back to the basket but some simple work can get him putting up shots over both of his shoulders. With a shortage of bigs this 2021 prospect has a lot of value.
6’5 Matt Rohden (Juan Diego Catholic)
Matt is one of the better shooting big men in his class. He has better form than some shooting guards. He moves well with the ball in his hands. He is also able to defend players much bigger than him with his solid technique. Great prospect for the 2021 class.
6’10 Noah Lemke (Dixie High School)
One of the bigger players in his class. He runs the floor well and finishes above the rim. As a senior he still has a lot to work on but you cannot deny his size. Could be a great player in the NWAC or the right D1 or D2 JUCO.
