16U Grassroots Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class has a chance to be special as there are some players in the class making national noise. Utah has put together a lot of players that will leave the state and dominate wherever they go. Club teams are led by [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] 3SSB, [program_tooltip program_id='2271483' first='Team' last='Utah'] Pro 16 NXT, [program_tooltip program_id='2091934' first='Utah' last='Gold'] and [program_tooltip program_id='2214029' first='Utah' last='Valley Prime'] just to name a few. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Impressive Play</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1278439"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Sondrup has been a big game changer on one of the top circuits in the country if not the best as he is a big kid that can hold his own against anyone in the country.
