6’3 Mason Bendinger Mason Bendinger 6'3" | CG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
Mason has a chance to really lead his team. He has a new coach and a new system that will likely allow him some more freedom. He can score from anywhere on the floor. Great size to defend or even take a smaller guard into the post. This Division 1 bound guard can really play and the best thing is that he is only a junior.
6’0 Sam Sivulich Sam Sivulich 5'11" | PG Northridge | 2022 State UT || Northridge High School || 2022 ||
Really like this kids toughness and scoring punch. He is always in attack mode and the kid has some major range. Speed and craftiness. He’s been doing it for sometime now as well. Looked great in the fall. Like that he plays with a chip on his shoulders. It could be that he is a steal for an NJCAA school in the region.
6’3 Carson Jones Carson Jones 6'3" | CG Bonneville | 2022 State UT || Bonneville High School || 2022 ||
Carson put up some solid numbers as he scored 10 PPG. This season look for him to increase that by a few points a game. A lot of the damage that he does is usually inside but the kid can rebound. Could be a big reason Bonneville can compete for a region title once again.
5’7 Sam Stevensen Sam Stevensen 5'8" | PG Bountiful | 2023 State UT || Bountiful High School || 2023 ||
Don’t sleep on littl eSam as he can go. Scores the ball well and although he might be short in stature compared to most of the guards in the region but he does a little bit of everything. With some improved shooting he could be a fun player to watch.
5’11 Mathew Low Mathew Low 6'2" | PG Box Elder | 2023 State UT || Box Elder High School || 2023 ||
Really like Mathews solid game. He can shoot but he will need to shoot more this year. I think he will need to get at least 45 threes to keep Bonneville in games. He is in the right system to get him those looks though.
6’3 Radek Pulsipher Radek Pulsipher 6'2" | CG Viewmont | 2022 State UT || Viewmont High School || 2022 ||
Radek is a good shooter with size. He could be a solid 10 & 6 type of player next year.
6’1 Jaxon Smith Jaxon Smith 6'1" | PG Woods Cross | 2023 State UT || Woods Cross High School || 2023 ||
Jaxon is a prospect that can get hot quick from the outside. Like his quick release and his range. Look fo rim to benefit from another guard on his team. He will get a lot of open looks.
