Team Preview: Utah Gold 15U

Welcome to Grassroots Basketball Utah Gold as we start with their youngsters in the 15U Division. Every single one of their players comes from a school that is not easy to play at the varsity level right away as most of these players will have to wait their turn but they do have talent. Every single one of these kids could possibly get minutes at a lower level school but they are getting better by playing against top notch competition at their respective schools and they will get better playing with Utah Gold as this club will be playing in the Adidas Gold Circuit and traveling across the country to play against other talented programs everywhere.

Overview

This team has players that will commit to both sides of the ball and in time they should mesh nicely. They will have to rely on outside shooting and sharing the ball but we are excited to track this young squad through the Grassroots Season. Their bright yellow mixed with black and white will make them hard to miss, but their game across the board will make them hard to miss as well.
