<p>The Class fo 2025 has really stepped up their game and a few players really separated themselves for sure but there is a lot of room to grow for these players. The class is just getting better for sure. Excited to see these players develop more as they now become juniors in high school. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1532052' first='Isiah' last='Harwell'] has traveled arguably more than any other Class of 2025 player sin the country as he has been pulled by every shoe company and every all-star event promoter to get the strong and athletic 6'5 G to come run with the best players in the country. He has been solid all year maintaining his Top 10 status nationally with his elevated play. The most important aspect of his game is that he can fit in with any team as he does more than just score. Isiah can create and he can defend, this is really helping his next level stock grow as he has interest or offers from almost any significant basketball program in the country. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1532662' first='JJ' last='Mandaquit']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/dutch-dowdell/"></a> || Utah Prep || [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] Adidas 3SSB ||</strong></p>

<p>JJ has really made a splash this summer and not only because he is a big time floor general but because he plays the right way. JJ has a few comps like Peyton Pritchard and Fred Vanvleet as he uses a strong on ball handle and a vision to find open players all over the floor. Probably had one of the best AAU assist to turnover ratio in every class this Spring and Summer. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1164729' first='Easton' last='Hawkins'] || Lehi High School || Mountain Stars UAA ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Easton was an absolute weapon this Spring and Summer as the SG. with next level size has been changing the way defenses adjust and play as he is a big time scorer from deep that shoots above 40% from deep. When he is locked in a hand up is not going to stop him. Easton is one of the best two way positional players in the state in this class. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146666' first='Chamberlain' last='Burgess'] || Lone Peak High School || [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] Adidas 3SSB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you're looking for a kid with upside, you do not need to look much further. Chamberlain is projecting high and his skill is reaching a level that makes him a player that you need on the floor at all times. His effort alone f better than any forward in the class hands down. He is flying all over the place getting loose ballas and blocking shots. He has really turned into a rim protector and finisher near the rim. He has a shot from deep that helps him spread the defense. The kid helped himself out this Spring and Summer. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1574292' first='Owen' last='Bawden'] || Cedar Valley High School || [program_tooltip program_id='2091934' first='Utah' last='Gold'] 3SGB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Owen is a big with a lot of upside as he is just scratching the surface on his potential and his skill development. He went from laying in open looks at the rim to trying to dunk on anyone contesting him. He is strong but he has a frame that can add muscle right now. He alters shots and he is a big screen and he rolls well and provides a big target as he keeps his hands up and doesn't bring the ball down. He was consistently effective all Spring and Summer. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146670' first='John' last='Southwick'] || Utah Prep || [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] Adidas 3SSB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>John put on a show this AAU Season as he averaged 3-4 three-pointers a game. The crazy thing is that they were not always easy buckets. He also shot over 45% from deep and was among the Top 5 shooters in the country in all shoes circuits in his class. This kid is a snipper and he can get you tough buckets. He looked like Ray Allen out there the way he was catching them on the move, off the bounce and in transition. </p>

<p><strong>2nd Team All-AAU</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1571744' first='Jaxon' last='Soto'] || Olympus High School || UBC Elite 3SGB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jaxon is turning the corner on his development. He is strong and he is solid on the ball. Really made a lot fo p lays and helped players get open looks all grassroots season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1272410' first='Coleman' last='Atwater'] || Davis High School || [program_tooltip program_id='2091934' first='Utah' last='Gold'] 3SGB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coleman is a very good CG that can be a lead guard but also shoot the ball at a high level out on the wing. He made a lot of winning plays including plays inside the arc as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1164728' first='Charlie' last='Smith'] || Bontiful High School || UBC Elite 3SGB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Charlie is a dangerous outside shooter and at 6'6 he really makes it difficult to matchup with him at times. He is one of the better shooters in teh state and the kid is just developing physically. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1601997' first='Augustine' last='Ekwe'] || Wasatch Academy || [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] Adidas 3SSB ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of those players that is a low risk and high reward. He picked up a big offer from Southern Utah University and this kid can block almost anything. He can touch upwards above the square on the backboard and he rebounds very well. He is speedy up the floor too. He was among one of the best shot blockers in the 3SSB Circuit. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146662' first='JJ' last='Apathjang'] || Judge Memorial Catholic || Kongo Elite UA Rise ||</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>JJ had some elite flashes for sure this Spring and Summer. His attacking ability is getting better and he is finishing very well at the rim. He is a player that has a lot of upside.</p>
