<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While most teams have no clue who is going to make their final roster Utah Prep has made some big changes this past year and they have quickly become a powerhouse program that has and will continue to attract some of the best talent in the country. Exposure is the name of the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Putting on a Show</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>AJ Dybansta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The #1 player in the country had 22 points and although a bit rusty was the best player on the floor for sure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1532662' first='JJ' last='Mandaquit']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mandaquit is the best true PG in the Class of 2025 as he shows his pace and his ability to make passes to the right spots as the defense is trying to force him into bad decisions. Mandaquit had 22 points as well. He had 7 assist and only 2 turnovers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Lights Out</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1146670' first='John' last='Southwick']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Southwick showed why regardless who he plays or who is defending him he is going to take the three and make you pay. He shot 80% from beyond the arc and was giving the opposing coach fits as he hit shot after shot. Someone needs to make it happen and sign this kid already he is too valuable of a shooter to not be committed yet. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>New Names</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2540166' first='Jayden' last='Cecil']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Remember this name! He is the #1 prospect out of Australia in the Class of 2028. He made his debut on the big stage and in time he is going to be a monster. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Efficient Players</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278443' first='Anthony' last='Felesi']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Felesi was one of the most efficient player on either team as he is just a two-way elite prospect. He covers so much ground on both ends of the floor and he can just do so much. Felesi was a whooping +20 when it came to his time on the floor. He is a special talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366003' first='Jaden' last='Vance']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vance was another outstanding talent out there on the floor and having an additional wing out there that can defend multiple positions and also play anywhere on the floor has been so valuable already. Vance was a +27 the best on the floor and his impact is more than just 12 Points that he scored. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
