We are looking at players that play varsity to narrow our search for Players of the Year. The player that wins Mr. Basketball will not be eligible.
The Class of 2024 is really good here in Utah and there are many options. Let’s start in 6A with a player that is on one of the best teams out West in Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT . Brody has size and shot making ability from deep. He is one of the leaders in the state when it comes to rebounding. He is just one of the better all-around prospects.
Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT has been having an excellent year at Olympus and he is poised to make another run at defending his 5A Title. Dutch has made a big jump in his game.
Hunter Schenck Hunter Schenck 6'2" | PG Weber | 2024 State UT over at Weber has been tough over at Weber. He scores a lot of points.
Owen Mackay Owen Mackay 6'5" | CG Snow Canyon | 2024 State UT has made a jump in his game and he is a high flyer.
One of our favorite players to watch is Chris Cox Chris Cox 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ over at Cottonwood. Chris has really helped himself out this year with his play. College coaches will flock to see him this Spring and Summer.
Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT down south has a shot because he has a lot of talent and come playoff time he is going to be tough to stop as there isn’t a lot of bigs that can hold him down.
Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT is a solid option as well as he is a two way player that can step out and shoot the rock. He defends well out in the perimeter and is another player that will make an impact come playoffs.
Others:
Hunter Hansen Hunter Hansen 6'4" | PG Fremont | 2024 State UT has been solid and although he has been battling some injuries he is a bucket. Will be interesting to see him make a run this year as a big part of this Fremont team.
Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT is arguably the best passer in the state and he just makes everyone around him better. He has some size and shooting ability that really helps his team go.
Mekhi Martin Mekhi Martin 6'2" | PG Layton | 2024 State UT is just playing at a different level right now and Layton has needed him.
Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT ranks among some of the best PG’s out here in Utah.
Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT is a really good player that knows how to manage a game. True extension of a coach out on the floor.
Don’t sleep on Tanner Davis Tanner Davis 6'5" | PG Sky View | 2024 State UT at Sky View. Might be the most underrated player in the Class of 2024.
