Kentucky Colonels
Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT || Olympus High School || 2024 ||
Jordy Barnes proved why he is the best PG in the class he had to defend two solid PG’s and he was picking pockets and getting buckets and getting others involved. 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.
Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
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.
Tyler Christensen || Cedar Valley High School || 2023 ||
All-around talented athlete with a little bit of size. He is an attack first perimeter player.
Kaden Ericksen Kaden Ericksen 6'2" | CG Syracuse | 2023 State UT || Syracuse High School || 2023 || DNP
Corbyn Hansen Corbyn Hansen 6'5" | CG Timpview | 2025 State UT || Timpview High School || 2025 ||
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.
Jackson McKee Jackson McKee 6'6" | PF Box Elder | 2023 State UT || Box Elder High School || 2023 ||
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.
William Santiago William Santiago 5'11" | PG Wasatch | 2023 State UT || Wasatch High School || 2023 ||
Smaller guard but he is an intense defender that showed his motor as he was tracking down loose balls all over the place.
Ike Staley Ike Staley 6'6" | SG Lone Peak | 2025 State UT || Lone Peak High School || 2025 ||
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.
Cameron Swiggett Cameron Swiggett 6'0" | PG Lone Peak | 2023 State UT || Lone Peak High School || 2023 ||
Quick burst of speed and when he used it to draw two and kick it he was very much a threat and effective.
Brayden Whitehead Brayden Whitehead 6'10" | C Bingham | 2023 State UT || Bingham High School || 2023 ||
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.
