<p class="text-gray-700">Manuia has been able to provide Orem with some much-needed guard play. Although they have a few elite guards, Manuia is learning and turning into an elite shooter. He has hit a three-pointer in every game he has played and has even gone off for five in a game already. He is a new name and a head-turning prospect in the class of 2028.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Allen has become one of the most explosive guards in the state, and frankly, he might be among the most explosive in the West. He is heading to Snow College, a program that has been on a tear and has been placing players at the D1 level, and Allen could be among them. Allen has the skill set, and with his ability to score, defend, and facilitate, he is a complete player.</p>
