Three Teams
Corner Canyon High School
CCHS has been the biggest Fall Ball surprise as they are playing at a really high level. Once Brody Kozolowski and Tyler Burraston Tyler Burraston 6'4" | SG Corner Canyon | 2022 State UT both get hot on opposite sides of the floor they will be a force and a true state contender. They have size and length at every position and they can go really young with a few experienced upperclassmen. Max Toombs Max Toombs 6'3" | CG Corner Canyon | 2023 State UT and Jaxonn Roberts Jaxonn Roberts 5'11" | PG Corner Canyon | 2023 UT are tough too. Great Fall ball showing.
American Fork High School
Very impressed with American Fork this Fall. Players like Yaw Reneer Yaw Reneer 6'5" | CG American Fork | 2022 State UT and Aaron Dunne Aaron Dunne 6'9" | C American Fork | 2023 State UT have really stepped up their game. Yaw is really taking his game to new heights especially playing the three consistently. Aaron is filling a void down in the paint. and he is solid. It opens up Evan Young Evan Young 5'11" | PG American Fork | 2022 State UT up even more to use his speed without someone clogging up the lanes. When AF goes small they can give teams fits but they still need to work on that rotation aspect about it.
Woods Cross High School
Woods Cross has a fascinating team as they will be lead by Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT but they have some pieces that could just fit in well with the style that they have on the roster. Players like Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT and his ability to shoot the ball will help spread the floor and create more space for Mason to create. With a few players that are not afraid to mix it up and play physical defense keep an eye on Woods Cross, they have a tough team coming in.
Three Players
6’4 Rex Sunderland Rex Sunderland 6'4" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT || Davis High School || 2022 ||
Rex is having himself a great Fall as he he is building from a stellar Spring and Summer. With an handful of Division 1 offers and some more interest trickling in Rex is a high prospect in our state but a sleeper prospect outside of the state. With Rex’s shooting ability improving and his handling on the ball that should help him moving forward. When it comes to defense he looks for ward to opportunities to guard the best. Looking forward to him and C. Chandler going head to head twice this year.
6’9 Jaxon Heiden Jaxon Heiden 6'9" | PF Alta | 2022 State UT || Alta High School || 2022 ||
When it comes to players raising their stock Jaxon is up there. While the past three years he did letter varsity but the lack of playing time or the fact that he battled injuries always sidelined. This year he will have a position and no player ahead of him. He has really worked on his outside jumper and he has a really good quick spin-move. Jaxon is a true stretch 4 but can dabble as a 3 and at times hold his own at the 5. Jaxon has the game that can translate to the highest level in college. Will be a sleeper prospect.
6’6 Dai’shaun Buie-Wilkerson || Murray High School || 2023 ||
Dai’shaun has some good qualities to his game. He is an undersized center which will mean he will have to develop more perimeter skills to function as a 4. He is left hand dominant which throws defenders off but he also has a decent motor to go along with his skills. Could be highly sought after by those near by NWAC schools.
