Continue ReadingWith the high school season ending not too long ago we are back at it as Spring Leagues and Spring Flings are underway all over the state and we are starting to get a glimpse of the future and of some of the new faces that seem to be transitioning well as incoming freshman. There is a lot to be excited about as we look at a few teams and breakdown their players and team as a whole.
Cyprus High School
Cyprus will be a tough team to deal with as they seem to have the same core three coming back every year with Quentin Meza Quentin Meza 6'0" | PG Cyprus | 2023 State UT , Justus Jackson-Fobbs Justus Jackson-Fobbs 6'6" | SF Cyprus | 2023 State UT and Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT . Diego continues to light up teams from deep and work on different aspects of his game. Quentin seems to get his when he needs to but he is deferring to his team as he knows how important it is to develop the talent and confidence around him. We are getting a glimpse of incoming freshman Koli Fosita who looks like will be a welcomed addition to a team looking for players that can do a little bit of everything. Stay tuned as this Cyprus team will be a contender next year in 6A.
American Fork High School
This is a program that just reloads. When you think they’re having a down year they find ways to win and replace. AF brings back a lot of size with Aaron Dunne Aaron Dunne 6'9" | C American Fork | 2023 State UT and the addition of Kean Webb Kean Webb 6'10" | C American Fork | 2023 State UT (Dixie) this team will be big. Really like the way Tiger Cuff Tiger Cuff 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2024 State UT is developing as he has a high IQ and he can shoot the ball. Aaron is a load inside and Kean can go inside or out with a nice shot from deep. They also have so many pieces to rotate so beware of AF once again as they look to defend their title.
Bingham High School
Bingham is a team that will look to their youth and bench as they lost 4 starters to graduation and 1 more player off the bench. Bingham is also a program that finds ways to reload and get the best of their players on the defensive end. Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT will be a player that will likely be let loose to do his thing. This kid plays with something to prove every time he’s on the floor. Bingham will add Jason Petersen who was injured all of last year and he will be a good player to develop as will incoming freshman Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT who is one of the better 2026 players in the state. Brayden Whitehead Brayden Whitehead 6'10" | C Bingham | 2023 State UT continues to show promise as a premier shot blocker.
Orem High School
Orem is a school that also got decimated by graduation but they add two big time incoming freshman in Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT and Anthony Felisi who both have above the rim playing ability as well. They will have a chance to grow with Lance Reynolds Lance Reynolds 6'1" | PG Orem | 2024 UT running the show at PG. Orem is just reloading with youth this time. Stay tuned as the bruins will be nice.
