2025: Rankings Update Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This class is starting to really elevate as players have been playing so well this summer and a few transfers have really upgraded the class here in Utah. Here is a preview and a few names making moves. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Stock Risers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Allan Gballou || Layton Christian ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The big fella is among the best in the state and he was able to make a few moves up and he has deserved it. Shoot, the way he is playing he might continue to move up. He is a force that demands a double or triple team. He has soft hands and he can elevate. Look for him to continue to rise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1190621' first='Noah' last='Bendinger'] || Corner Canyon ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah is taller, more agile and his range is still deep but he is more consistent than ever. He has picked up some offers and will continue to be a player that gets looks because h has good size as a SG and he can handle the ball as well. That means his skill translates to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Keep an Eye On</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2244581' first='Josh' last='Checketts'] || Layton ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Layton might be a team that some will overlook but with solid next level talents like Checketts they have a big time chance at taking it home. Checketts is under the radar but rising. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1409850' first='Will' last='Lindsay'] || Mountain Ridge ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>BIG GUARD ALERT! Lindsay might be a take over type of player that has that ability. He is on the rise and has next level talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2244564' first='Brennan' last='Olsen'] || Cedar Valley ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Do not overlook this kid. He has a big time motor and will be a go to player, especially when the team needs a bucket because he will be able to get loose. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Players With Potential</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2218111' first='Asante' last='Gondwe'] || Copper Hills ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gondwe will enter a new year with a new coach and a new opportunity to get on the floor and make things happen. He has the ability to really catapult himself into the conversation of next level talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2302949' first='Stockton' last='Young'] || Juan Diego ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Young showed flashes last season of that Swiss Army Knife style of play he brings to the floor. Look for him to be more aggressive. He might make some moves that will turn some heads at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
