Every year there are new prospects that emerge and give us a glimpse of some great play. Some put in work and some just didn’t get much play last season. We take a look at some players that might not be household names that are producing. 6’0 [player_tooltip player_id="1338746" first="Brady" last="Smith"] || Green Canyon High School || 2022 || Brady has some good potential as he picked up an offer from SLCC and he has committed as well. Brady has a good feel for the game and he has some quick reflexes on the defensive end that lead to fast breaks. He is a high motor guard that can also hurt you from the outside. Excited to see him suit up for the Bruins a top NJCAA program in the country. 6’0 [player_tooltip player_id="967694" first="Carter" last="Killian"] || Granstville High School || 2022 || At Grantsville it’s next man up and Carter is that guy. He is scoring 18 PPG. If he keeps the pace up he could be close to having a 1,000 point career. Does a lot of damage in the open floor and in the interior battling and getting rebounds. 6’3 [player_tooltip player_id="968780" first="Kekoa" last="Beard"] || Ben Lomond High School || 2022 || Kekoa is a tough wing that can play against some different positions because he is strong. His offensive game has really taken shape over. the years since he arrived in Ogden. Kekoa has been a lot better on the perimeter. He does have next level playing ability. Still has some room to grow his game. 5’8 Orlando Alvarez || Wendover High School || 2023 || Orlando is a shifty guard that has a motor that is always on. He plays with speed at both ends and he can get to the rim. What makes Orlando a tough cover is that he needs to be defended up high because he can shoot which allows him to get by defenders with his quickness. 6’3 Kenyon Snoody || Skyridge High School || 2022 || Kenyon has quietly been solid this year for Skyridge as he is providing a scoring punch from outside.
