With a few games under their belts here is a list of a few prospects putting their teams in great positions. 6’0 PG [player_tooltip player_id="968050" first="Colby" last="Simms"] || Davis High School || 2022 || Colby has been the surprise of the balanced Davis roster. With stellar guards like Henry Ihrig and [player_tooltip player_id="934473" first="Rex" last="Sunderland"] Colby has been a killer out on the floor. He’s averaging about 3 Three-pointers a game. He’s gone off twice against Lehi and Olympus. Colby has a great feel for the game and while he plays on a team that always hunts for the best shot possibly Colby has been the recipient of a lot of that ball movement. Colby will likely get more opportunities to push even further as he team remains undefeated. 6’3 G [player_tooltip player_id="1191455" first="Ryker" last="Osborn"] || Kearns High School || 2022 || Ryker didn’t get much run last year at Bountiful and now he finds himself at a new school with a new opportunity and he is taking full advantage of it. He has the Kearns Cougars rolling to a 5-0 start and he is putting up 13+ PPG. While their competition will get tougher Ryker has the ability to really step up his game as well. 6’3 G [player_tooltip player_id="934518" first="Merrick" last="Sherwood"] || Mountain Ridge High School || 2022 || Merrick is not only surprising on-lookers but so is his team as they remain undefeated and seem to have bolstered Region 3 along with the addition of West Jordan. Merrick is putting up 16 PPG and he is doing it al lover the floor. He is a bigger guard that can really take advantage of his height and his overall skill to be a threat all over the floor. Merrick and Mountain Ridge are off to a 5-0 start. 6’0 G [player_tooltip player_id="942593" first="Yorgio" last="Golesis"] || Skyridge High School || 2023 || Yorgio is quickly becoming one of the top stock risers in the guard position in his class with his outstanding perimeter play. YG is out there as a scoring guard and he is making some difficult plays look easy. he is leading the way as Skyline is off to a 4-0 start. 6’7 W [player_tooltip player_id="1127232" first="Dane" last="Christensen"] || Orem High School || 2022 || In basketball when you’re playing at a high level your main goal is to get to your spots. Dane is a perfect example of a player that knows how to get to his spots. While he catches the ball in the mid-post defenders often think they’re playing good defense by getting him off the blocks when in reality he likes that mid-range jumper. Dane is skilled and has some smooth patient moves. Runs the floor just as well as Orem has run out to a 6-0 start all while taking out some heavy hitters.
