<p>This group that rounds up the Top 10 is no regular Top 10 as every player on the list is a legit Division 1 player. The Class of 2026 is impressive here in Utah and this class was one of the better classes we have seen in a long time in Utah.</p>

<p>Openshaw is currently on the Top team in the state, and his growth and confidence is one big reason why. Upside is yet to be determined, but he has a big-time upside.

<p>Nwidgwe brings that strong, versatile next-level forward game. He puts the ball on the floor and attacks the rim, and he has a bag when it comes to attacking the rim.

<p>Suguturaga is a wing who can defend at a high level on players 1-3, a very intriguing skill set to have at the next level, and what Suguturaga will bring to Utah.

<p><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='1439711' first='Bryce' last='Mella'], American Fork</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Just a few years ago, Mella was playing multiple positions, and although that must have been challenging, he has built upon that experience. Mella is a player who is not only willing to defend anyone but is also more than capable. He can shoot and get to the rim. He is not flashy; he keeps things simple. He is heading to Utah State and, in time, could be a player capable of playing multiple positions. He is having a great start at American Fork.</p>
