Vai Higby Vai Higby 6'5" | SF Highland | 2025 State UT || RSL Academy || 2025 ||
Strong Frame and ability to be strong and finish in traffic. He is a tweener 3/4 right now but could really continue to develop.
Ethan Chapman || Springville || 2024 ||
Not a bad prospect that has size and stretching the floor ability with his outside shot.
Augustine Ekwe Augustine Ekwe 6'10" | C Wasatch Academy | 2025 State UT || Wasatch Academy || 2025 ||
Talk about a new kid on the block. This kid projects really high as a 6’10 monster out there. He is raw but he is big and he is must see as he can elevate and in time he is going to be the next big fella with major recruiting ability to come out of Wasatch Academy.
Hunter Jackson Hunter Jackson 6'3" | PG Woods Cross | 2025 State UT || Woods Cross || 2025 ||
When most players play for themselves in showcase events Hunter was playing the right way and he was dishing and pushing that ball up. He was dropping dimes and getting a few shots in. Good young talent.
Julian Bowie Julian Bowie 6'3" | SG Pocatello | 2024 State #227 Nation ID || Pocatello High School || 2024 ||
Julian looked great running the floor and when he didn’t have the ball he was getting out and he looks more athletic as he is a big time two foot leaper. Keep an eye on him out there in Idaho.
Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Wasatch Academy || 2024 ||
You already know that he is going to be tough near the rim on both ends but I am impressed with his willingness to pass and pass up a good shot for a better shot. You can see his game transforming.
Jason Petersen || Bingham || 2025 ||
Jason is coming a long, he is getting better and better every time we see him. Shot looked a little more fluid and with a bit of size he will continue to improve his game.
Hayden Gribble Hayden Gribble 6'6" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State UT || Herriman || 2024 ||
This kid keeps getting better. He is quicker and he is explosive. That perimeter game is starting to really develop.
Kai Wesley Kai Wesley 6'8" | PF Orem | 2026 State UT || Orem || 2026 ||
This kid is too nice. That perimeter game is developing as he is turning into a pick n’ pop threat. Soft hands around the rim and he still has a way to go development wise which could be scary.
Austin Barrett || Riverton || 2025 ||
New young player to track that can shoot the ball. New era coming into Riverton here.
