5. Woods Cross High School || Region 5 ||
Woods Cross has some really good pieces as you look at players that could help like Alex Brey who is a hybrid big, although he is undersized he has the skills and if e could stay out of foul trouble he could really help this squad make a deep run again. The evolution of Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT has been spectacular as he has turned into a scoring guard that could complement his team. Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT has been as good as advertised and when he’s on the high school team he could go in that mid-post and just over power players in his sweet spot. Hunter Jackson Hunter Jackson 6'3" | PG Woods Cross | 2025 State UT could be a key piece if he starts or comes off the bench. This id can play.
4. Lehi High School || Region 8 ||
Don’t think we forgot about a team that has some solid scoring across the board and the way Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT is shooting he is really going to hurt teams as they have some elite sets for guards to flourish. Braxton Hawkins Braxton Hawkins 6'2" | SG Lehi | 2023 State UT has gotten better and Grayson Brousseau Grayson Brousseau 6'6" | PF Lehi | 2024 State UT is a force on the blocks.
3, Olympus High School || Region 6 ||
Had a few growing pains as they adjust to their new roster but Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT is the best PG in the Class of 2024 as he serves as a facilitator and scorer. Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT is one of the best shooters with size in the West. These two will score a lot they just need some more players to step up.
2. Alta High School || Region 8 ||
Alta could have the quickest turn around as they rebuilt last year playing a lot of young player and they have reaped the benefits of that. Nash Hinck is playing well and Carter Goodfellow Carter Goodfellow 6'2" | SG Alta | 2024 State UT is stepping up but the play of Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT this summer has college coaches seeing the massive upside in his game. The dude can play and with high level shooting ability at 6’8 he is a big time prospect.
1. Murray High School || Region 6 ||
Chudi Anosike Chudi Anosike 6'5" | CG Murray | 2023 State UT is the best local player in the Class of 2023. He is a great lead guard that can score in various ways and he is taking what the defense gives him. When his motor is on he is super tough. Jaxson Workman Jaxson Workman 6'0" | SG Murray | 2023 State UT is one of the best shooting PG’s you will see out there. They have some solid players coming in and out of the roster like Tayshaun Tramel Tayshaun Tramel 5'9" | PG Murray | 2023 State UT and Deacon Poole. Murray might start the year with a bullseye on their back.
