Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Juan Diego Catholic ||
The Mali native was playing for his country this past summer and he was a force playing against some of the other countries they faced. During these games he did exactly what he did during the high school and club season. He positioned himself early as he walked his defender under the rim and turned and faced. He gathered and finished high. He was also confidently taking some tough jumpers. Look for Malick to really take off this next year as he will be the focal point of the offense as one of the most raw yet dominant bigs in the state.
Paul Beattie Paul Beattie 6'9" | PF Farmington | 2024 State UT || Farmington High School ||
Paul has a high ceiling as he is getting stronger and he is really taking what the defense gives him. Earlier in the year he was forcing certain shots or simply going into defenders. His development has really taken a turn as he is using both hands. He is crashing the glass and using his energy to create more opportunities for himself and others.
Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT || Dixie High School ||
Kyle is slowly turning into a prospect that must be watched. Not sure how much varsity time he will get as a young player on a seasoned team. The one thing I do know is that he has some potential to be the next sought out big at Dixie as they seem to have one every 4 years. Athletic big that has some high quality skills and IQ.
Carter Doleac Carter Doleac 6'8" | PF Alta | 2024 State UT || Alta High School ||
With a log jam at Corner Canyon Carter is now at nearby Alta where he will Grow with some young talent there. Carter has some time to develop but he is a player to watch in this young class.
Christian Henninger || Riverton High School ||
Christian is a project that has height and he has a big frame. At about 6’10 he can sure alter shots simply with his hands straight up. Kid needs to jump on a grassroots program that will develop him.
