Noah Amenhauser Noah Amenhauser 7'0" | C Estrella Foothills | 2023 State #270 Nation AZ , 2023, Estrella Foothills (AZ) – Amenhauser flashed an intriguing skillset for a young big man with his soft hands, fundamentally sound footwork and touch around the basket. The 6-foot-11 sophomore is a mobile athlete in transition, does a nice job of playing to his strengths and understands how to seal and keep post positioning. Amenhauser still has plenty of work to do when it comes to his all-around offensive and defensive game and must continue to add strength to his wiry frame.
Jai Anthoni Bearden Jai Anthoni Bearden 6'6" | SF Sunnyslope | 2024 State AZ , 2024, Kellis (AZ) – The smooth and crafty 6-foot-6 freshman has as much raw ability and long-term potential as any west coast underclass prospect. Bearden not only flashed perimeter shooting ability, but also gets to the rim with ease off the bounce and can create shots for himself in isolation. Defensively, Bearden uses his length and quick leaping ability to block and contest shots.
Drew Carter Drew Carter 6'3" | SG Tigard | 2021 OR , 2021, Tigard (OR) – Carter is the consummate floor general who seems to make the right decisions each time down the floor. The 6-foot-3 point guard, who is committed to Colorado for football, uses that gridiron strength to absorb and finish through contact and create space on the perimeter for his step-back three-point shot.
Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT , 2022, Farmington (UT) – Few prospects have had a more productive fall than Chandler, whose performances in various showcase events have catapulted his recruitment to the Pac-12 level, and rightfully so. The 6-foot-4 combo guard is a knockdown three-point shooter both off the catch and off the bounce, but he’s got way more in his arsenal than that. Chandler understands how to attack angles in both transition and half-court settings to get to the rack where he can rise up and finish above the rim.
