Mountain West Top 25

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taking a look at the Top schools in the Mountain West. Teams that did not make the cut Central (WY) not a good enough resume or visibility to have a true feel for how hey would fair against this group of 25. Olympus (UT) has been surging but the field is deep. Could argue for them. Fergus (MT) does not play anyone outside of the state no true measuring stick. RSL Academy (UT) with their injury to their top guard they will have trouble although they are stacked. Lapiwai (ID) They haven't played anyone. They need to be in Section 7 next year or leave the state and play in California or Nevada. It will help their recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#1 AZ Compass (AZ) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mookie Cook, Zayden High and [player_tooltip player_id='1489600' first='Jordan' last='Ross'] are really clocking and playing at a high level. This one is a no brainer. They play anywhere against anyone at any time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 Perry (AZ) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Impressive play with only one loss this season that they probably do not lose again even if they played 10 times again. <strong>Ben Egbo </strong>is a really good big guard. <strong>Koa Peat </strong>is one of the best in the country regardless of class. Good luck stopping him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3 Wasatch Academy (UT)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Team has a loaded roster. with [player_tooltip player_id='1532645' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'] playing at a high level again. [player_tooltip player_id='1489614' first='RJ' last='Jones'] is as good a SG as there are in the country. [player_tooltip player_id='1532642' first='Osiris' last='Grady'] is big time down in the post and so is CBO Newton. NIBC team with a lot of talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Liberty (NV)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gelo Kambala</strong> is one of the smoothest PG's out West and he is heading to Southern Utah. DJ Thomas in the backcourt with him makes a stellar combo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5 Bishop Gorman (NV)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the traditional powers is always in the mix. John Mobley Jr. and Jase Richards also make for a tough backcourt. Two dynamic guards.

[player_tooltip player_id='923086' first='Kolton' last='Mitchell'] is a steal over at Idaho State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#7 Corner Canyon (UT)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='934040' first='Max' last='Toombs'] is playing out of his mind. [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski']'s national stock continues to rise and not they have a D1PG in [player_tooltip player_id='969631' first='Jaxson' last='Roberts'] who was just offered by Cal Poly. This team wrecked everyone in AZ and they just always play anyone. Lost to Owyhee without their best player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#8 Accelerated Prep (CO)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baye Fall is a game changer and no matter what team he is on he will make them good. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#9 Coronado (NV)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sebastian Mack heading to UCLA is a dude!.
