Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT || Lehi High School ||
The Class of 2024 PG has been playing very well and it was a mystery who we would see and how he would as he took the Spring/Summer off of AAU and his team made the jump in classifications from 5A to 6A. Ever since his dad Quincy Lewis took over this Lehi team has been on the rise. Last night there was a big time showdown between one of the best teams in the state in American Fork as they are just littered with talent at every position. Like true Lehi fashion they did not care and neither did Copper Lewis as he went off scoring 47 points and he even hit 6 three-pointers. Not only did he go off, he did what he had to to lift his team to a very resounding win. The “New Kid” on the block in Region 3 made a big time statement. With only 4 players scoring in this game for Lehi Lewis was the man. Not only is he a high IQ point guard he can shoot very well with range, that is what makes him a next level talent. His recruitment should be trending upward.
Malachi Spencer Malachi Spencer 6'7" | CG Weber | 2024 State UT || Weber High School ||
When the ball is moving and these players catch the ball on the move, you get to see a different Weber squad. Spencer had himself a game and most would say it was an upset but either way Spencer was tough to stop. He was using footwork to get space and he was also catching the ball in rhythm. He has really transformed his game from a player that could be a 3 or a 4 toa true Hybrid wing that can go inside and out as his perimeter game has taken shape. Spencer had a 22 point game and a win against Farmington and he was working his game all over the floor. Spencer could be a steal for a small school looking for a player that can do a little bit of everything with some size.
Luke West Luke West 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2026 State UT || Bingham High School ||
In a rivalry game against Copper Hills Luke went to work. He was able to get to his spots all over the floor but he was really good in the mid-post taking his defenders down there and either powering over them or simply rising up and shooting over them. He has looked the best we have ever seen him and he is showcasing that three-level scoring. West is a rising two way player that could move up in the stock category. 22 points and two 3-pointers just shows how well balanced of an attack he can have.
Carson Smith Carson Smith 6'6" | CG Bountiful | 2024 State UT || Bountiful High School ||
Smith has been on another level this year and the confidence he is playing with and a new system allows him to play his game a little more. He has been the ultimate stat stuffer on this team and he had himself a game last night. I know that National JUCO’s are all over him but if he continues at tghis pace he might end up in a different situation. smith had 25 points and 8 rebounds in a win last night.
Quinton Christman Quinton Christman 5'10" | PG Murray | 2024 State UT || Murray High School ||
Q had a big game two days agao against Tooele as he went off for 29 points. His motor is unreal and he is a player that could really stay out on the floor at all times. He knows how to get to his spots and his creating ability is really impressive, especially for a sub 6’0 player. He can get separation and get his perimeter shots off. His handle and ability to get paint touches impact the game a lot.
Nash Schroeder Nash Schroeder 6'2" | PG Pine View | 2024 State UT || Pine View High School ||
29 points and 10 rebounds against a tough Snow Canyon squad. Schroeder is among one of the best unsigned guards in the state. He has vision and scoring ability. He doesn’t have to be the lead guard as he can push over to an off guard. His activeness is obvious the way he rebounds as a guard. The other part of his game that is impressive is that he doesn’t need to just cast three-pointers to score the ball.
Sam Felts || Crimson Cliffs High School ||
If you are looking for a raw talent that you can mold into a next level 4 or 5 Felts is a player that you should really consider. He is a rim protector that is getting better and he is a player you can toss the ball into and he can be a high percentage scorer. He has a high ceiling.
Conner Fairbanks Conner Fairbanks 6'4" | CG Mountain View | 2024 State UT || Mountain View High School ||
Fairbanks has been in his bag this week as he had two phenomenal performances. Non better than his 33 point performance. He is getting his buckets in the flow of the offense too. Fairbanks is active on the glass and he is always in the mix on loose balls and rebounds. He could be a big time get at the next level, especially a small school looking for a do it all guard with some size.
