<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class of 2024 is very good in Utah and the talent will go deep into the rankings. We are likely going to get some new names surface as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1235094"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64343a4c08a01"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some people might think he isn't a hidden gem but with him playing club in Idaho and even playing in 4A up North he is not seen as much in the city. Last year he was a force in the Utah Top 50 which was great to see him compete and run with the higher rated prospects in the state. He has a strong frame and he can do work in the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1541293"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64343a4c08b0c"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Steven has some talent at the combo guard position. He could be the lead guard and get himself some space to create and he can get in the paint and drive and kick to open players. He has multiple moves he can lean on to get shots off. In the perimeter he can shoot the ball from deep and score at that level. Plays at a small school and should be able to develop more and play at a high level this Spring and Summer with UBC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1459329"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64343a4c08b90"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Landon is an athlete that has a lot of potential. We were able to watch him play a lot this past year and he had some moments that made him look really impressive. He is an active player that can rebound and finish inside. At times he does use his strength to over power opponents. Runs the floor well and he is a player that can switch off on defense. Could be that SF/W at a small school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1384534"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64343a4c08c01"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solid stocky PG that has speed. He plays low to the ground and can get downhill. He is kind of built like a RB running through the hole as he bounces off defenders gaining forward progress and finishing at the hoop. He could flurish in an uptempo system. Off the ball he knows how to create space and driving and kicking is something he is really good at. Playing for Hard Knox he will be able to show what he can do on the ball and off the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1551411"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64343a4c08c70"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid is a low risk high reward type of a prospect. He has size and some skill that will develop. He moves well up and down the floor and he if you fast forward to him getting a ton of rep and maybe putting on 15-20 lbs. he is a solid forward type prospect at that D2. NAIA level. Showed some solid play in flashes this past season. Not sure who he is playing club ball with but he could be a gem. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Class of 2024 is very good in Utah and the talent will go deep into the rankings. We are likely going to get some new names surface as well.
