Class of 2021
#21 Trace Ross Trace Ross 6'3" | PG Corner Canyon | 2021 State UT (Corner Canyon)
This year Trace has really committed to the weight-room as it is apparent in his physic and there is more bounce in his game. Trace is a really good jump shooter that can really step out and bury those long three’s. he can really come off the screens and shoot with limited space given to him but also make good reads and make some tough passes. There have been some major improvements to his ball handling. He is really impressive off the bounce and coming off of screens as he can get some nice elevation on his shot.
#42 Noah McCord Noah McCord 6'3" | SG Westlake | 2021 State UT (Westlake)
Hard nose player that plays every single play and he does not take any plays off. Good basketball IQ as he is able to play multiple guard positions. Noah is that player that can really move off the ball and generate offense with simple cuts and good positioning. Noah would be a huge get for an NWAC school that can pull him their way.
Class of 2022
#20 Devin Carlson Devin Carlson 6'8" | SF Bingham | 2022 State UT (Bingham)
A player that didn’t see the floor enough last season to put up big numbers. Athletic and ideal for a 4 at the right school. Has a nice shot but is really impressive with his hustle and how hard he is willing to play at both ends of the floor. Nice lefty hook and the kid can really attack the glass.
#40 Kekoa Beard Kekoa Beard 6'4" | CG Ben Lomond | 2022 State UT (Ben Lomond)
Kekoa made his way to Utah via Hawaii to play for his dad and he has put in some work these past few years. He was raw an athletic and now he is starting to refine his skills. He is a wing type player with good size and great strength.
Class of 2023
#10 Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT (Woods Cross)
Promising young prospect that can run the 2 guard and the 1. Mason is another athlete that plays multiple sports. Can play above the rim and he has a skill to get to his spots which is impressive for a player that didn’t see varsity minutes last season. Mason can use his strength to push defender to get to the lane. He finishes well through contact.
#33 Braxton Hawkins Braxton Hawkins 6'2" | SG Lehi | 2023 State UT (Lehi)
Braxton is a nice young prospect that can shoot the ball which allows his other aspects of his game to shine as well. Not sure how much time he will get on the floor as a varsity player but he can hold his own. He is a player to watch develop.
