6’3 PG Jordan Ross Jordan Ross 6'3" | PG Link Academy | 2023 #132 Nation MO | Pleasant Grove High School | Utah Prospects
Jordan is as smooth as they come. He might not be the fastest but he is quick he might not be the strongest but he knows how to use his body. Jordan has a high IQ and the kid can score. This Spring he is stepping up in multiple ways, the most notable way he is stepping up is by playing up at the 17U level. Now this is not a new thing as many players play up for their AAU team, but playing up on a circuit team as a guard is tough. Jordan will have some growing pains, but just know that he will grow and get better. Look for Jordan to pick up his defensive intensity and his spot up shooting.
6’2 G Max Toombs Max Toombs 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2023 State UT | Corner Canyon High School | Jimmer Elite
Max is gearing up this Spring and Summer to take over as lead guard at CCHS. Max is strong and he can push his way past guards. He is a straight line driver that can finish with multiple moves. Max can shoot but doesn’t settle for jumpers. Good looking three-point shot and can hit them off the bounce a bit but is better in spot up looks. Max is poised to have a breakout Spring this grassroots season.
6’4 W Spies Tia Spies Tia 6'3" | PF Cyprus | 2023 State UT | Cyprus High School | Utah Premier
Spies is a sleeper athlete that will get better with this Spring and Summer. He is on a team that has a lot of scoring and he is the ideal role player. Spies rebounds well and he defends well. He is out there looking for rebounds and he will set screens and do the little things to help his team win. Great multi-sport athlete too.
6’5 W Aiden Oliphant | Cottonwood High School | N/A
Aiden is a complete player that is under the radar. Aidan can score at all three levels and he is a veteran due to his minutes as a freshman. Aiden does that dirty work cleaning the boards and he he can see the floor. We like him as a wing that can slash but play outside a bit as well. Look for Aiden to stand out when he suits up again.
6’0 G Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT | Woods Cross High School | N/A
Jaxon is a guard that can get the offense started and he also has a great outside game. He is streaky but he can get hit and from deep. Jaxon works well coming off of screens and he can get from the three-point line to the 15-foot line and hit that mid-range as well. Jaxon will get stronger and his vision will continue to get better. Jaxon is also a dual-sport athlete.
