Revamp 2024 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Many have been asking to revamp the current 2024 ranking and it is something we pride ourselves with and we have made some changes to the Class of 2024 Rankings. The Class of 2024 in Utah has been one of the most difficult t rank because there are so many good players. It would not be surprising if every player in the Top 30 ends up at a Division 1 school. There would be no real surprise there. Everyone has a different route but the talent in Utah has been climbing and this class has set the bar high and it might be the best collective group of players Utah has ever seen. There will be more movement before the season starts and when next season ends. There will also be new players moving into Utah that will shake up the rankings as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Top 10</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Top 10 is absolute fire! There are a couple of players that can probably move up and down and there are some players with some offers that are in the works. Bottom line the Top 10 is a group of players that all have multiple D1 offers and major interest with a few players that have committed. Impressive bunch either way. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski'] || Corner Canyon High School || </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Idaho State, Harcard, Washington State, Boise State, Nevada, BYU, Utah State, Loyola Chicago. Rice, Utah tech, Utah Valley, VCU, Rice, UNLV, Utah Tech, UC San Diego, Weber State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brody is a player that has risen from his freshman year and now entering his senior year. With a 6'9 frame and ability to shoot the ball he has been tabbed as one of the best bigger players that can shoot. What makes him special is his rebounding ability. His high school plays a national schedule which has helped his recruiting a lot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson'] || Alta High School ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Stanford, Utah State, Nevada, Weber State, UC San Diego</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jaxon has been one of the best stock rising shooting wings in the country. Many schools are trying to convince him to head out East as he has a unique skill set. He is going to be a tough player to get.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#3 [player_tooltip player_id='1114374' first='Malick' last='Diallo'] || Wasatch Academy ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Malick is a really good player in the post and his shooting has improved over the years. With not many big centers out there with his skills he is a sought out prospect that is getting callas from schools all over the country. Playing in the NIBC is a big time game changer as that platform really helps elevate his stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Cal, BYU, Utah State, Utah</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='1057044' first='David' last='Katoa'] || Utah Prep ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Committed: University of Utah</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David has been courted by many colleges for his high motor and play making ability. He has been nursing and injury but he has been improving other aspects of his game. His handles and his shooting ability will be on full display. He is a nationally known combo guard that has elite upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='1057034' first='Dutch' last='Dowdell'] || Olympus High School ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Utah tech, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, Harvard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dutch is arguably the best shooter in the state and when he gets a clean look at the rim he is money. The crazy part of his game is that he does not get clean looks and he is still able to put up big numbers and score the ball at a high level. This kid is going to be a great find for a program looking for shooting and positional size at the 2. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='1185179' first='Kyle' last='Lemke'] || Dixie High School ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: Utah Tech, Westminster, SUU</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyle is a force and it seems like he might end up staying close to home, but he continues to hear from colleges across the state and the country. Kyle is a force and a problem to deal with. He is a player with a lot of upside and skill development that has not reached his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#7 [player_tooltip player_id='1384536' first='Owen' last='Mackay'] || Snow Canyon ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offers: SUU, Utah Tech</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With so many suitors and he is hearing from various schools Owen the 4A Player of the Year has major game.

The kid has a great wingspan for 6'4 and he has been throwing down in game dunks and he has beens coring from all over. He should be one of the best scorers in the state next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>#9 [player_tooltip player_id='1128939' first='Hunter' last='Schenck'] || Weber High School ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Committed: Utah Tech</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hunter has proven every time he steps on the floor that he is a dude and with and early commitment to Utah Tech.
