– 6’1/ G- Utah Elite
A master at moving off the ball and making teams pay from deep, Rosevear is the type of player who makes opposing coaches pull their hair out. The class of 2025 guard is a lights-out shooter with limitless range. Roseavear is constantly moving, making it extremely difficult for defenders to keep track of him. The sharp-shooting guard is comfortable coming off screens and can set his feet quickly. He will set screens and pop out as another avenue to create space. The Utah Elite guard can heat up quickly and before you know it he’s hit three straight threes. The attention Roseavear demands allows his teammates to get better looks, and he’s able to find them if defenders sell out to contest his shot.
Brigham Mulford- 5’8/ PG- Grantsville
Mulford is a wizard with the ball in his hand. A true floor general and an exceptional passer, any team would be lucky to have this class of 2023 guard bringing it up. He may not be the biggest guard in the state, but he has no problem getting past any guards. Speaking of his handle, Mulford rarely turns the ball over and can easily break a press. He also deals with traps and double teams very well. The Grantsville point guard possesses impressive court vision allowing him to find cutters and shooters whenever they are open. Mulford is also an impressive shooter in his own right and can make teams pay when left open. He has an excellent feel for the game that also helps him defensively where he can pick the pockets of opposing guards.
Sean Felts- 6’7/ C- Crimson Cliffs
Few big men in the state have a game as well-rounded as Felts, a true two-way force whose game is what every team wants in a modern five. The class of 2024 center is tough to handle on the low block, where he easily finishes over undersized bigs. He uses his long frame well to create space and does not rush his shot when working on the low block. Felts often faces double teams and does a great job of keeping the ball high preventing turnovers. He is also a willing passer and if one of his teammates is open he will kick it out to them. The junior big can also stretch the floor and is comfortable spotting up. Felts length allows him to contest shots on the defensive end with few guards willing to challenge him at the rim.
Kahner Raby- 7’0/ C- Mountain View
Raby is raw but has all the potential to play at the next level. Raby is only a junior and should get plenty of playing time over the next two years to continue to grow. The class of 2024 big has an impressive wingspan that deters opposing teams from even attempting inside shots. In addition, his size allows him to catch any entry pass on offense. Raby showed good touch on the block and displayed vision as a passer finding cutters with drop-off passes. The junior also showed a willingness to take threes, but his shot is still a work in progress. Once he gets more experience and becomes a little stronger, he will be one of the best big men in the state.
