The Top 25 is a beast and kids willmove up and down as they start to play some high school games and circuit games as well.

Highlights
#1 PHU CG Anthony Felesi Anthony Felesi 6'6" | CG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT || Orem High School || 2026 ||
Kid plays with a chip on his shoulders and his wingspan is incredible. Could be the next big thing developing here in Utah. He can play on or off the ball and with a great shot he has a superb foundation. Attacks the rim with force and plays above the rim. His attacks are fearless as he is trying to body people in his way. He is projecting high so stay tuned. Will rack up D1 offers like crazy.
#2 PHU 6’7 W Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT || Timpview High School || 2026||
Size, shooting ability and playmaking in the perimeter as well as down in the paint. Dean has a quick first step that he is using and he is getting to the rim and getting up and over people. He makes it look easy and as he continues to develop and grow his speed will increase and he will start to really take that game of his to an incredible level. Has D1’s all over him.
Highlights
#3 PHU 6’4 CG Junior County Junior County 6'5" | PG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT || RSL Academy || 2026 ||
Explosive combo guard that is a stat stuffer. Junior is willing to do the dirty work and he is elite at staying active and cleaning up the boards and getting easy put backs. He also picks up boards and is able to push the ball. Good outside shot including a mature mid-range game. Tough deep bag when he drives to the lane as he can stop and use floaters or footwork as well as go to the spin move. Stay tuned because he is a D1 prospect as well.
#4 PHU 6’9 C Jamyn Sondrup Jamyn Sondrup 6'10" | C Springville | 2026 State UT || Springville High School || 2026 ||
Big body and a lot of potential for this big fella. If he gets two or three more inches he is going to be sought out by some big time programs. His size will give people problems and his soft hands and ability to finish over both shoulders is a plus. Jaymn still has a high ceiling and he will get that chance at Springville.
#5 PHU 6’2 G Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT || Bingham High School || 2026 ||
Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT has a good pace on the ball and he is an active cutter and space maker off the ball. He is looking strong and athletic as he is throwing it down with two hands. He will get a lot of reps at the varsity level which will help his development as a college prospect in the long run. Might take some bumps here and there playing in 6A in a tough region and through a tough schedule but he could get hot as he can score at all three levels. Could end up being 6’4+ in a few years. Next level prospect for sure. He also commits to playing defense as well.
