Must watch guard that has bounce. Super shifty with an elite cross going left to right and right to left. He is crafty with the ball when he slithers through the lane. Knows how to place the ball high off the glass away from the help defender. Float game actually has range and touch. Slim but is strong and he is a dog on defense. Likes to get after it. Division 1 guard that has HM schools courting him.
#3 PHU – Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School ||
Scoring guard at all three levels. like his poise and patience as he lets the game come to him. When he is being aggressive he attacks really well going to his right and a nice pull-up game going to his left. He is getting crafty with the way he free’s himself up and his footwork continues to get better as he has shortened a lot of things up and kept them really simple. Another Division 1 guard that will get quicker in time.
#5 PHU – Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School ||
Read and react type of player that will take what is given to him. He does such a good job facilitating for his teammates. Quentin has tightened up his handle a bit and as he continues to improve on that he will be a tough stop as he is one of the best at keeping his dribble alive with various moves and counters. His creative flow in the game is special. With a few D1 offers he is going to continue to improve his body and game in all aspects. Major gym rat.
#6 PHU – James Rust James Rust 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2023 State UT || Timpview High School ||
James is a big body guard with high IQ. James understands the game and knows how to get the best of his matchups as well as his teammates. He is a great shooter in the corners and he knows how to space the floor. He has improved his attacking the rim as he has added a mid-range pull-up that keeps defenders off balance. Great touch around the rim on cuts and post-ups. James is a D1 prospect that will continue to improve his outside shooting which will continue to increase his stock.
#9 PHU – Ashton Wallace Ashton Wallace 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2023 State UT || American Fork High School ||
A little off the radar guard that will light it up this year as there is more space for him to work with and a lot more freedom to play. The kid gets to the rim but he is a high quality shooter as well. Could be a steal.
