Living up to the Hype
Milos Uzan || Dream City Christian || 2022 ||
I am sure local spectators are now hoping Milos chooses Utah after a stellar weekend. He is quick and crafty and he embraces contact. Special player and fun to watch.
Collin Smith || AZ Compass || 2022 ||
It’s not too late to get on this kid. He is 6’8 and can shoot the ball. He reminds me of Glen Rice at times. Played a fantastic grassroots season with Southern Assault and its tricking over.
Koren Johnson || Wasatch Academy || 2022 ||
Koren is a big time floor general. He is a dream game manager and he changes speeds with the best of them.
High Level Performers
Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
Mason is a three level scorer and showed off those skills this weekend. He is tough and keeps his cool under pressure. Shooting really well off the catch too.
Dane Christensen Dane Christensen 6'7" | SF Orem | 2022 State UT || Orem High School || 2022 ||
This kid has D1 talent and size at 6’7. He is a must watch. Legit 3-man at the next level that can defend his position.
Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT || Olympus High School || 2024 ||
Great looking young prospect that played an excellent tourney. Will have college coaches following him and tracking him.
