2028 Rankings Update Sneak Peak

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 in Utah has the potential to be one of the most consistently talented groups we've seen in the last four to five years. While there are a few stand-out D1 prospects, many players are also dedicated to securing opportunities at two and four-year colleges. Regardless, Utah basketball continues to be a hotbed for talent, consistently producing players who excel at various levels of college basketball. The Class of 2028 is no exception, and we're excited to highlight some of the standouts you'll be seeing in our upcoming rankings. Here's a glimpse of the promising players shaping the future of Utah basketball:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's start with [player_tooltip player_id='1724358' first='Troy' last='Kaufusi'], who attends Orem High School. Kaufusi made a significant impact on the EYBL stage, showcasing his ability to score from anywhere on the court. His elite court vision and space creation allowed him to consistently find open looks around the perimeter with remarkable ease. Kaufusi's performance has earned him a spot in the national rankings, debuting in the Top 50. The young lead guard clearly has a bright future ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another standout player from Utah County is [player_tooltip player_id='1278505' first='Mason' last='Ford']. He has been making a significant impact on the court, drawing attention from college coaches. While he still has room to develop his game, Ford is poised to become a notable stock riser. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player with significant potential to develop and establish himself is [player_tooltip player_id='2675050' first='Brady' last='Peterson'] of Bingham High School. Peterson possesses a strong shooting ability and has good positional length for a player at the small forward position. If he focuses on improving his footwork and defensive skills, he could project as a solid wing player. Peterson is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the coming years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While we were unable to evaluate [player_tooltip player_id='2194679' first='Dominick' last='Soto'] last year due to an injury, we are very excited to see what he can do this season. Soto's potential makes him a player to watch in the Class of 2028.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is a young player out at Layton named [player_tooltip player_id='2566619' first='Kaden' last='Mabry'] who can shoot. He will be a must-watch, and in time, he will get time on the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
