Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT led the pack of notable players playing in the GWC. You had players form every classification in attendance that have high level of play. Isaac Davis and Liam Campbell as well as Julian Bowie are some of the top players that came over from Idaho and you even had a top player form Cherry Creek High School, Colorado make a splash as well in Jeremiah Hammond Jeremiah Hammond 6'3" | CG Cherry Creek | 2026 State CO .
Transfer Central
There were a lot of players on the move and this was a great platform to watch them all play. Noah Bendinger Noah Bendinger 6'4" | CG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT was the latest big name to make a move as he is now running with Corner Canyon and he makes a big impact giving the Chargers more shooting which is what allows them to compete against national competition. Then you had Reece Dent Reece Dent 6'8" | SF American Fork | 2024 State UT and Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT over at American Fork as they look like a championship contender once again. Springville is set to get a new out of state transfer and although Wasatch Academy wasn’t playing they will be getting some new top names including a top talent out of Las Vegas, NV. Judge Memorial has a few new dudes and Juan Diego looks unrecognizable.
4A
This early it is tough to say who might be the front runner with so much movement and new classifications but Dixie and Cottonwood look really good early. Can’t forget Ridgeline either as Jagger Francom Jagger Francom 6'8" | C Ridgeline | 2024 State UT when he is engaged and playing with a high motor he is a player that could cause havoc. Chris Cox Chris Cox 6'7" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2024 State AZ is a good and he can guard 1-5 legit! Kyle Lemke Kyle Lemke 6'9" | C Dixie | 2024 State UT is the best big in 4A and one of the best on the state for sure.
Spreading the Floor
Teams are spreading the floor more than ever now with everyone shooting the ball better from positions 1-5. Coaches are putting in offenses that allow players to play out in the perimeter and not just in the post. Corner Canyon has sprinkled shooters everywhere with Tate Boman Tate Boman 6'2" | CG Bingham | 2024 State UT , Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT , Noah Bendinger Noah Bendinger 6'4" | CG Corner Canyon | 2025 State UT and Taylor Feroah Taylor Feroah 6'7" | SG Corner Canyon | 2024 State UT . Mason Hansen Mason Hansen 6'1" | SG Springville | 2026 State UT and Luke Nadauld Luke Nadauld 6'2" | PG Springville | 2024 State UT look like they can make a difference outside. Bryson Bromley Bryson Bromley 5'10" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT , Easton Hawkins Easton Hawkins 6'4" | CG Lehi | 2025 State UT and Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT can shoot the rock.
