Ace Reiser Ace Reiser 6'0" | PG Alta | 2024 State UT || Alta High School || 2024 ||
Ace averaged 24 PPG this club season and he was doing it at a high level. you can see his level of effort depends on what the defense gives him. I can see his team averaging 70+ points a game, especially with a player like Ace that can really push the tempo. Ace will hurt you from deep but he does not settle for long jumpers as he has an elite mid-range for sure.
Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT || Olympus High School || 2024 ||
Dutch is a player that can get things going quickly and with defenses trying to pick him up high and early it has opened up his attack game for sure. Expecting Dutch to be among the Top regardless of class for sure. We would not be surprised if he averaged 30 PPG, especially if he can get to the line when he attacks the rim. Elite shooter that will make you defend him for sure.
Dean Rueckert Dean Rueckert 6'7" | SF Timpview | 2026 State UT || Timpview High School || 2026 ||
Elite motor and positional size makes him a matchup nightmare. His shooting ability is going to really change the game for him for sure. Dean attacks the rim really well and when he gets to the rim he knows how to finish. Dean has put up some ridiculous numbers this grassroots season so look for him to continue that as the high school season picks up again this Winter.
Jordan Barnes Jordan Barnes 6'4" | PG Olympus | 2024 State UT || Olympus High School || 2024 ||
Jordan might end up being one of the best statistical assist men of All-Time but the kid can score too. He could be a double-double player with assist and points for sure, especially with the way he plays defense he is going to get a few opportunities a game to make easy buckets off of steals.
Dominick Phannolath Dominick Phannolath 5'11" | CG Hunter | 2025 State UT || Hunter High School || 2024 ||
This kid can score the rock and he might end up averaging 25 PPG especially in region play where there might not be many teams that could stop him. He can score from all over but his game is really developed in the perimeter.
Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT || Alta High School || 2024 ||
Jaxon is going to work that inside outside game and frankly he should be considered as one of those players that will be on Triple Double watch every night. Jaxon could easily score 5 points a quarter which should be a very doable task considering the speed this team will play with.
Jamyn Sondrup Jamyn Sondrup 6'10" | C Springville | 2026 State UT || Springville High School || 2026 ||
If he camps out in the paint he can do major damage but he is more than that but keep in mind if he gets 4 touches a quarter in the paint a game he is going to convert at a high level. Realistically he is a 17+ PPG player that could explode this season.
Anthony Felesi Anthony Felesi 6'6" | CG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT || Orem High School || 2026 ||
Not only is this kid electric in many ways but with his outside shooting getting better he might be a 20 PPG type of player this season.
