17U
6’4 CG Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT , Farmington High School (2022)
Collin had a breakout performance at showcases last year around this time. He was able to carry that over to the high school season as he lead his team to a state championship appearance. Collin is attacking well from both sides of the floor. He is also shooting the ball well from deep. His handle has improved and we expect him to garner a lot of attention.
6’1 PG Jordan Ross Jordan Ross 6'3" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #132 Nation MO , Pleasant Grove High School (2023)
Jordan is a crafty guard that can handle the ball and he is shifty. Jordan can also serve as a shooting guard because he can really get going from deep as well. Jordan brings a lot of confidence and ball handling ability. He is calm under pressure and can find open players with his great vision as well.
16U
6’0 PG Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT , Cyprus High School (2023)
Quentin is an electric scorer that has improved defensively. He has a major motor. He ca score at all 3 levels. He is shifty with the ball as he can get to many spots that he can score at a high percentage at. He has great vision and is a great creator for others.
6’9 Lyman Simmons Lyman Simmons 6'10" | PF RSL Academy | 2023 State UT , Snow Canyon High School (2023)
Lyman has put on 20 lbs. and it shows as he is stronger on the blocks. He is able to hold his ground and he will be a tough stop on the blocks on the offensive end. Great looking left hook over his left shoulder. He is starting to shoot better from deep. Still has a lot of room left to grow.
6’5 James Rust James Rust 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2023 State UT , Timpview High School (2023)
James is a tough wing that does a little bit of everything. He gets out and runs and he can bring the ball up and handle a bit. He can shoot and he has an IQ that he uses to create for others. James can dribble into shots but he is elite at the catch and shoot long ball.
15U
6’6 G Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT , Corner Canyon High School (2024)
This kid is better than he showed in high school. Brody can shoot the ball. he is long and causes a lot of matchup problems. Major ceiling.
6’4 W David Katoa David Katoa 6'4" | CG Layton | 2024 State #255 Nation UT , RSL Academy (2024)
David moves well with and without the ball. His shooting has improved and he is athletic. He crashes the boards well and he has a nice handle. Can play 1-3 at a high level. Great defender and rebounder that can push the ball.
6’0 PG Mekiah Martin, Layton High School (2024)
Mekiah is tough as nails with the ball. He is strong and can fend off defenders. Stays low to the ground but keeps his head up. Defensively he can pick up high and cause some disruption.
