2026 Rankings: Unsigned and Underrated

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Utah has become one of the best places to find talent, and there is a lot of it in the Class of 2026. The Top 100 features players that could all play at the next level, and even players in the Top 150 and below that have the desire and possess the skills to make a roster. We focus on some of the best unsigned seniors who are underrated. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#13 [player_tooltip player_id='3462123' first='Luke' last='West'], Bingham</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3462123' first='Luke' last='West'] has consistently impressed throughout his four years at Bingham High School. He is set to depart as the school's all-time leading scorer, a remarkable achievement considering the pool of talent that has emerged from Bingham. Despite receiving some offers and continued interest, West remains unsigned, underscoring his underrated status. Occasional minor injuries during his high school and club seasons may have contributed to a slower-than-expected recruiting process. However, West is now in the best shape of his career and poised to make an immediate impact as a freshman. His ability to score at all three levels and his exceptional mid-range game make him a potential game-changer for any program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#29 [player_tooltip player_id='1966069' first='Jaxen' last='McCuistion'], Timpanogos</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McCuistion averaged nearly 24 points per game this season, and Timpanogos' drop to 4A may have made his team somewhat overlooked. However, McCuistion's game is anything but unseen. He was a top prospect in scouting reports, and at 6'4" with a unique scoring ability, he's an unsigned, talented player. He made 73 three-pointers and was a pure scorer. He also rebounded well and possessed great court vision, often displaying impressive stat-stuffing abilities. McCuistion will be a steal for any program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#36 [player_tooltip player_id='1960159' first='Lincoln' last='Holcombe'], Timpview</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holcomb is among the best developing guards from 9th to 12th grade. He has always been a hard-working player, and this year he has significantly improved in many aspects of his game. Holcomb is a strong defender who can create instant offense with his steals. He is a pass-first lead guard who also knows how to score. With a variety of scorers on his team, he excels at distributing the ball with crisp passes. He has a high ceiling, and despite having a few offers, he remains unsigned, making him a valuable player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#65 [player_tooltip player_id='2861639' first='Carson' last='Tovey'], Viewmont</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tovey is one of those players that you watch, and you can't help but fall in love with his game. He plays with a great motor and does it on both ends. You cannot relax at any point when guarding him. He moves a lot, which helps him get offensive rebounds, and he is a great rebounder who will start the fast break, often going coast-to-coast. He has a lot of upside at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#83 [player_tooltip player_id='2572828' first='Cason' last='Malan'], West Field</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malan remains one of the best values for unsigned wing players in this class. He plays for a new school that was demanding respect for the way they played this year, and at 6'5", Malan could utilize his length to continue developing as a 2/3 at the next level. He averaged double digits in scoring and has room to improve and grow his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
