Colton has been on the rise as he continues to prove he can play with anyone regardless of classification. Could be an NWAC steal if they can get him. Plays the Pg the right way and he is a scoring PG that also moves the ball. He scores on minimal dribbles which is a plus at the next level.
Highlights
Big Body guard with a big game. Hidden Gem out there at Bear River High School. He is actually smooth with his back to teh basket going over both shoulders using both hands. He knows how to get his body into defenders and score the ball. In that mid-range area he has a nice looking shot and a turn around jumper as well. Keep an eye on him as he has a knack for finding was to score the ball.
Sneaky good guard down south at Desert Hills. Not only can this CG play on the ball he moves well without the ball. He often surprises defenders with his athletic ability to rise up and finish above the rim. Look for a more improved skill-set from Eli this year.
Highlights
Steals, Assist and Points this kid will give you all of that. One of those small school guards that will light up the stats and score a bunch of points this year. Speed on the ball and quickness on defense really make this kid a hidden gem at a small school.
Highlights
This kid put up some impressive numbers last season scoring 14 PPG. The way heis gam eis he could be a 17PPG + type of player and could realy change the game with some improved shooting. If he can get to 25 three’s made this year he could really elevate his team play for sure as well as his individual play.
While now at Provo this kid could rise his ability to impact the game as a do it all bigger guard for sure. Keep an eye on him as he could be a small school find.
Tony could be a find as he is playing at a higher level of ball now and sharpening his skills over at Wasatch Academy. Could be a solid D2 get right now.
Now at Kearns expect this kid to come out the gate ready to show out. Good length and could be a 3 at a small school. Just stay tuned on him.
