While these players are still young and have plenty of time to cement their stock in the rankings this is going to continue to change with so many players getting the opportunity to play at a high level.
#1 PHU- 6’9 Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Juan Diego Catholic ||
With two big time in-state offers in the past few weeks from Utah State University and Brigham Young University Malick is positioning himself to battle for the top spot against any players as he has proven in grassroots tournaments, camps and even in the international game that he has the skills and tools to play at the highest level. Since Juan Diego Catholic’s first season in 1999 Malick is the most notable basketball recruit in the schools history. Will have a dominating year in 3A. We hope we can see him play against some of the other better bigs in the state.
#2 PHU – 6’4 David Katoa David Katoa 6'4" | CG Layton | 2024 State #255 Nation UT || RSL Academy ||
David Katoa David Katoa 6'4" | CG Layton | 2024 State #255 Nation UT is one of the toughest players we have seen suit up in this class. Not tough in the sense that he plays to fouls or hurt people but he is that one player that can match another players energy. David is competitive and doesn’t back down from any challenge.. With a high motor and eliet play on both ends he is obviously one of the more sought after guards in this class here in Utah. With a few Division 1 offers under his belt and a recent offer from Utah State University David will continue to compete for more opportunities.
#3 PHU – 6’6 Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT || Corner Canyon High School ||
One of the best shooters with size out West as Brody can get hot in a hurry. While Brody does posses a great looking shot it is often forgotten that he is a big kid and can sit down on the blocks. While his shooting is elite, the rest of his game will develop nicely with a big time shot in his back pocket. Brody also holds a few Division 1 offers.
#4 PHU – 6’4 Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT || Olympus High School ||
Dutch has a complete game as an off-guard that can function as a SG. He has really good footwork and he is quick. Great size for the game that he has as he can guard 1-3 and with more playing time this high school season he could have himself a great year.
#5 PHU – 6’8 Jaxon Johnson || Alta High School ||
Talk about a sleeper prospect. Jaxon is off the radar but for how long is the real question. While he is 6’8 he is an elite stretch big that can open up lanes, but he also has good vision at the high post and on the blocks. He knows how to use his high IQ to get to spots but also find teammates for better looks. Keep and eye on Jaxon moving forward.
