There is one front-runner and the name is not a secret or a surprise. Do you take the front-runner or the pack?
The Front Runner
6’5 G Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT
School: Farmington High School
Class: 2022
Club: Utah Prospects
Ranking: ESPN #30
Offers: Oregon, BYU, Utah, Stanford, Arizona
Collin has the scoring ability to completely take over. He could average 25 + a game and likely stat stuff along the way. While anticipating different defensive schemes look for Collin to display something new to his game. Could be a 2k scorer and that would be impressive as he has only played 3 years of varsity basketball.
The Pack
6’9 F Jack Wistrcill Jack Wistrcill 6'8" | PF Olympus | 2022 State UT || Olympus High School || 2022 ||
Big time scorer that will have Olympus slated as the favorite in 5A.
6’4 G Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT || Davis High School || 2022 ||
Could have a case if he leads his team to a back-to-back state titles.
6’0 G Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2023 ||
One of the best scorers in the state. Will need to play out of his mind and lead his tea, to that mythical state title.
6’11 F Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT || Timpanogos High School || 2023 ||
Could have the highest ceiling in the 2023 class. Will need a special year.
6’3 G Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
In 5A anything can happen and with that said Mason has the ability to make great things happen. Could be one of the top scorers in the state on a dark horse in 5A.
6’9 F Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Juan Diego Catholic || 2024 ||
Should be a lock for player of the year in his classification. Could have a double-double type carrer and don’t be surprised if he pulls out some triple-doubles as well.
