6’8 C Brys on Bailey of Skyridge HS 2022[player_tooltip player_id="755663" first="s" last=""]trong>
Bailey is a five man with real long arms and big feet who can run the floor. He is on the thin s ide and does need to develop s ome bulk/s trength. He is pretty active and he can handle it a little. Bailey is a decent s hooter with 3 range even-though his s hot looks a little weird. He’s a fairly cons is tent rebounder and he does have s ome ups ide. He is a low major pros pect at this point but he will merit higher cons ideration.
&nbs p;

6’8 C Jaxon Kohler of American Fork HS 2022[player_tooltip player_id="755663" first="s" last=""]trong>
Kohler was arguably the bes t player at the event. He’s a hard-working five man who really impacts the game in a lot of ways . He’s a decent ball handler who can dribble operate on the block. Kohler has a clever mini jump hook and a nice revers e move in the pos t and a real good up and under move. He’s an excellent rebounder who purs ues the ball aggres t=”s s ” las t=””]ively. Kohler is a no-brainer high major pros pect with multiple offers .

6’6 PF s t=”Ethan” las t=”Potter”] of Layton HS 2021[player_tooltip player_id="755663" first="s" last=""]trong>
Potter had a cons is tently impres t=”s s ” las t=””]ive performance at this event. He’s an active four man with a real complete game. He can run the floor and he has s ome lift. He handles it ok and he pas t=”s s ” las t=””]es it well. Potter is very active and moves well without the ball. He’s a nice face up driver and he has a s hort pull up jump hook. He can pos t up with a jump hook and an ok drop s tep. He s hoots it fairly well with 3 range and can s tretch the defens e. He is a go-get-the ball rebounder and that is what he does .

6’11 PF s t=”Pres ton” las t=”Squire”] of Layton HS 2021[player_tooltip player_id="755663" first="s" last=""]trong>
Squire is a four man who is a decent athlete with real long arms . He handles it fairly well and pas t=”s s ” las t=””]es it real well. He moves well without the ball and he can s hoot it with long range. Squire finds a way to get to the ball on the boards . He was arguably the mos t under-recruited player from the event (probably due to virus cancelling s o many other events ) and is at leas t a mid minus pros pect.
