[player_tooltip player_id="968781" first="Dylan" last="Jones"] has proven once again that if you give him space he will light it up. Class of 2021 6’11 stretch 4 [player_tooltip player_id="966026" first="Preston" last="Squire"] had himself some great opportunities to showcase his inside outside game. Class of 2021 6’6 G [player_tooltip player_id="755626" first="Jackson" last="Holcombe"] proved once again that he is a D1 sleeper that hs major game and versatility. A player who is slowly developing is 6’8 SF [player_tooltip player_id="967725" first="Jaxon" last="Heiden"], keep an eye on him moving forward as he will need to pick up a lot of scoring output at Alta H.S. SLR Grey went 2-2.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game 1</span></p> <p>SLR 74</p> <p>OSA 3SSB 78</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game 2</span></p> <p>All Arkansas Red 63</p> <p>SLR 70</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game 3</span></p> <p>SLR 114</p> <p>Martin Brothers 78</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Game 4</span></p> <p>SLR 88</p> <p>All Iowa Attack 73</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>With Salt Lake Rebels having so many teams and no official roster to look at here are a few players that played well.</p> <p><strong>6’6 SF Camden Gagnier | Jordan High School | 2022</strong></p> <p>Camden is a strong finisher near the rim that can really move out there on the floor. He also guards well on the perimeter. Great vision and can make some solid moves toward the basket to either create separation or beat his defender off the dribble. </p> <p><strong>5’11 G Jaxon Workman | Murray High School | 2023</strong></p> <p>Jaxon can shoot the ball but his vision and quickness is also something to keep in minds as he uses all of his skills to get himself and others going. </p> <p><strong>6’1 PG Andre Cooper | Cottonwood High School | 2021</strong></p> <p>Andre is a player with quickness on the ball defensively and he moves really well laterally as he works hard to keep defenders in front. On the offensive end he is fast and a downhill PG that is looking for others but he can get to rim quickly. Andre can go both ways and finishes at the rim. Good pick up at the NWAC level. </p> <p><strong>6’4 G [player_tooltip player_id="955327" first="Cody" last="Nixon"] |Riverton High School | 2021</strong></p> <p>Cody is another unsigned senior out there trying to get additional looks. With a few school interested and with a few offers Cody looks to increase his stock. He can shoot and is a great decision maker on the floor with and without the ball. He really spaces out the floor and he is a deep ball threat as well. </p>
