6’3 G Logan Prince Logan Prince 6'3" | CG West Jordan | 2022 State UT , West Jordan High School (2022)
Logan is a player that has big game potential as he had a breakout sophomore season and a solid junior campaign. Logan is great with the ball in his hands as he can serve as a great ball handler. Off the ball he moves welland he finds pockets to get open looks. A good Spring/Summer Logan could really catapult himself to start his senior season.
6’4 G Merick Sherwood, Mountain Ridge High School (2022)
Merick is a 2-3 and can hang guarding a 4. He is strong with the ball and can play a little inside and outside. Like the versatility in his game. Tough player that commits to defense. Merick should be able to build on that 10 PPG in high school and do the same and more for his club team. Merick can be a player that makes a bigger impact offensively next season and he could also increase his production on the boards as well.
6’4 W Bowen Hammer Bowen Hammer 6'8" | CG Fairmont Prep Academy | 2023 CA-S , Snow Canyon High School (2023)
Bowen is an under the radar player that is athletic. He can get up and down the floor. Plays bigger than he is. I can see him playing a high level 3 guard. Look for him to be an impact player. Bowen does not have a lot of stats to show how good he can be but he dominated the lower level.
6’0 PG Nathan Johnsen Nathan Johnsen 6'1" | PG Highland | 2023 State UT , Highland High School (2023)
Nathan is a high motor guard that plays both ends of the floor. He is a hard nose player that gets to the rim. He is a straight line driver that can play through contact. Nathan shoots the ball well and he is a player that won’t pass up great looks at the basket. Nathan scored 4 PPG but it was in limited minutes on a team that used a lot of bodies. Nathan could easily get to 10 a game.
6’1 G J.R Ross, Summit Academy High School (2023)
J.R is a high IQ player that plays for a small school but he has big game. He can get hot from deep as an off guard or shooting guard. he has strength at the guard position which allows him to be a high quality defender and rebounder. JR will be one of the only returning players to come back to his high school team. This opportunity to play on a team that will help continue his development can be huge for him.
