Impressive on the ball defensive presence out there. His shooting looked better as some fell but you can see the hunger in his game out there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='934027' first='Mason' last='Bendinger'] || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason was one of the better player on the floor as he was getting to his spots and he showed he is going ot be a problem for anyone to defend. He really did some damage from deep and that mid-post that he absolutely owns. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tyler Christensen || Cedar Valley High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All-around talented athlete with a little bit of size. He is an attack first perimeter player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='935898' first='Kaden' last='Ericksen'] || Syracuse High School || 2023 || DNP</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146660' first='Corbyn' last='Hansen'] || Timpview High School || 2025 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solid overall game. The glue guy that got some rebounds and made some passes and hit anything open he should hit. He is like a 3 against these talented players out here and he could really pop if he shots that outside shot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1207005' first='Jackson' last='McKee'] || Box Elder High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Size and strength. Jackson was cleaning up the glass and doing the little things the entire time. Like the way he gets up and down the floor. He is a nice prospect for a small school at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1207050' first='William' last='Santiago'] || Wasatch High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smaller guard but he is an intense defender that showed his motor as he was tracking down loose balls all over the place. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146663' first='Ike' last='Staley'] || Lone Peak High School || 2025 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ike was good last year and this year he has made a jump as he is playing some really good defense. He had maybe 5 blocks and he was getting up. Rebounds the ball well and he was hitting from the outside. Like the upside here. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1116138' first='Cameron' last='Swiggett'] || Lone Peak High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick burst of speed and when he used it to draw two and kick it he was very much a threat and effective. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1116156' first='Brayden' last='Whitehead'] || Bingham High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brayden has potential as he is still raw. His feel for the game needs more time on the floor, but he has shown signs of improvement. He is blocking shots and he is getting better at catching those tough passes. He will be a project at the next level but at 6'10 and a player that can leap he is intriguing. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player of the Game:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='934027' first='Mason' last='Bendinger']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player that Impressed: </strong>Ike Stayley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Consistent Talent: </strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1057020' first='Jordan' last='Barnes']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
