July: 2026 Prospects Making Noise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>July is a great time to hit your stride as college coaches are filling up the gyms and watching on live streams looking for talent. Here are a handful of players that have been making noise this July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1966069' first='Jaxen' last='McCuistion'] || [program_tooltip program_id='2214029' first='Utah' last='Valley Prime'] ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCuistion has been playing at an extremely high level. He is putting up solid numbers and he is ready to have a very impressive senior year. He can score from all three-levels and with his ability to defend the 2's and 3's he is really helping his stock as a next level talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1614839' first='Aymen' last='Ismail'] || [program_tooltip program_id='2271483' first='Team' last='Utah'] ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best clutch shooters in the class and he has some length on the wings. He is great on the catch and shoot and he has a such a quick release. Ismail is also shooting th eball well off the bounce and when he is relocating when there is a bad close-out. He is a layer to start to get on as he has length and upside as a shooter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1439711' first='Bryce' last='Mella'] || [program_tooltip program_id='2110367' first='Utah' last='Prospects'] ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mella could easily be one of the better player in July across the board in the state besides maybe two or three of the top players in the class. His shooting has improved and it is maily the selection of shots he is taking. Look for some of the LM local schools that haven't offered yet to et in the mix. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2388587' first='Bracken' last='Saunders'] || [program_tooltip program_id='2214029' first='Utah' last='Valley Prime'] ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saunders has been very consistent and that is what some small school sare locked in on. His versatility and athleticism. He isn't a player that just shots or needs someone to create shots for him. He cleans the glass and he can get up and defend. He is one of the better under the radar grab and go players out there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1978893' first='Milo' last='Johansson'] || [program_tooltip program_id='2450900' first='Utah' last='Hard Knox'] ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Great motor and he is a hand down man down shooter. He is a quick shooter and he catches the ball high and takes quick shots on a high release. Johansson moves well without the ball and he runs the floor. He will be a player that gets his recruiting going here quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
