Banks has done a good job of extending the floor from 3 at the PF spot. In addition to being a good shooter, he has demonstrated an ability to put the basketball on the floor and attack the rim.

Samuel Phipps 6’5 SF/PF 2020 Mountain Crest

Phipps demonstrated good athleticism for UBC in the spring. He is not a polished product at this point. However, he has good athleticism and a lot of upside.

[player_tooltip player_id="543032" first="Brox" last="Ashby"] 6’1 PG/SG 2020 Hillcrest

Ashby is a proven playmaker at the varsity level. He does much of the same for UBC. He attacks the rim well and makes good reads. His playmaking ability is huge for this team as he scores it well and puts his teammates in spots where they can be successful.

Zach Visentin 6’8 PF/C Maple Mountain

UBC 17U Elite

Jeremey DowDell 6’2 SG 2019 Olympus

DowDell is one of the best scorers in the state. His ability to let it fly from anywhere makes him an intriguing prospect at the next level. He shot the basketball extremely well for UBC in the spring.

Dyson Frank 6’7 PF 2019 Jordan

Frank is a versatile prospect who has NCAA Division-I abilities. Frank will have a huge impact for Jordan and UBC in their respective seasons. He is a big man with a smooth touch from 3 and in the paint.

Rai Tiniauarii 6’4 SG/SF 2019 Juan Diego

Tiniauarii is strong and athletic. He is a capable shooter who can use his strength and athleticism to get to the rim at will. Further, he is a good on ball defender who does a good job on the glass.

Kawika Akina 5’10 PG 2019 Pleasant Grove

Akina does a good job managing the tempo of the game and making good decisions with the basketball. He is not an elite level scorer, but he facilitates well and does not make many mistakes with the ball.

Landon Brenchley 6’5 SG 2019 Ridgeline

Brenchley has received the opportunity to be the primarily ball handler with UBC at times this past spring, and he did well in that role. Due to his size and skill set, he fills the stat sheet up. He is a good defender and rebounder who can create for himself and others.

Erik Farias 6’2 SG 2019 St. Georges (WA)

Tanner Cuff 6’6 SF/PF 2019 American Fork

Cuff is one of the biggest moves this off-season. He has good length and can shoot the basketball extremely well from deep. Him partnering with another big man who can shoot, Isaac Johnson, should be intriguing to watch. Cuff brings good size and shooting to UBC.

Collin Jeppson 6’10 C 2019 Layton

Jeppson protects the paint and cleans up the glass for UBC. He adds length to a club team that has good size. As the last resort, due to being the rim protector, Jeppson has learned to rotate well in help side.

Trevon Allfrey 6’7 PF 2019 Copper Hills

Allfrey might be the best overall scorer on this team. While DowDell hits tough shots and shoots it well from deep, Allfrey can score the ball well from most places on the court. He uses his size well and has a soft touch around the rim.
