16 PPG, Class of 2021
One of the best kept secrets or sleepers in the 2021 class that’s stock rises every game. This kid has waited his turn, he didn’t transfer because he didn’t play much in years past, he just put in work. High character kid that can score at all three levels. Strong and smart with the ball. Great motor on both ends of the floor. He is continually active which allows him to rebound and see the floor. Stat stuffing game that translates to the next level. Great size for a guard too.
5’10 PG Sam Suvulich, Northridge High School
20 PPG, Class of 2022
Sam might be little but he really makes up for it by laying lock down defense. He plays the passing lanes really well that lead to quick points and easy stills for him or his teammates. Throwing up 20 PPG is not an easy feat but he can score. He is easily putting up 3 three’s a game. The rest of his points come off of crafty play and high IQ ball.
6’6 SF Justus Fobbs-Jackson Justus Fobbs-Jackson 6'6" | SF Cyprus | 2023 UT -Fobbs, Cyprus High School
11 PPG, 5 RPG, Class of 2023
One of the most raw talented W/SF players in the Class of 2023. He plays hard and loves getting p and down the floor. He does not need to be on the blocks or out on the wing to score, he instinctually finds pockets in transition and in the half-court that put him in great scoring position. justus also doesn’t need plays run for him as he can score in the flow of the offense. With some athleticism he can play above the rim when he needs to. Keep on eye on Justus as he will continue to raise his stock because of his potential at the next level.
6’7 SF Brad Thornton, West High School
13 PPG, Class of 2021
A lot of programs at the next level look for bigs that are old school and work on the block with their back to the basket and do some dirty work and produce in the scoring column and rebound. Look no further, Brad can do all of those things and more. Another raw 2021 player that can really turn the corner at the right program at the next level. Ideal NWAC talent. Brad runs the floor well and sets some mean screens.
6’4 W Noah Widerburg Noah Widerburg 6'4" | CG Cottonwood | 2022 State UT , Cottonwood High School
17 PPG, Class of 2022
Noah is the deflections of an underrated talent. He has size and strength. He can mix it up down-low with bigger bodies but he can also play in the perimeter. Great inside outside game. He does not rely on the three ball to score, he finds different ways to get to the basket. He has a versatile game that needs to become noticed. Not only can Noah score, he can rebound the basketball as he is active on both ends of the floor. Good vision also allows him to get others involved as well. Keep an eye on Noah going forward as he is one of those sleeper 2022 guards with size.
