<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278448' first='Dean' last='Rueckert'] || Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rueckert is currently in Los Angeles playing in Downtown LA with some of the best players in the country. Rueckert is the real deal. In a couple of years, he is going to fill into his body, and he is going to be a beast </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DM0xftEy9jI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=N2g0eGxyZWQyajB3","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DM0xftEy9jI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=N2g0eGxyZWQyajB3 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2511635' first='Jackson' last='Kiss'] || Utah Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to players on the rise, Kiss is among the best in the country. He is going to have a monster year at Utah Prep, and with their schedule and even with the players they have on the roster, he is going ot be able to work on his game daily. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2845169' first='Omar' last='Mawafak'] || Layton Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This kid was on the rise this grassroots season, and for good reason; he is a player with size and shooting ability. His mechanics are solid, and the upside for him to get better at the next level is there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMLNiQ3oSV_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=NTN0MXhuNWN1Ynd4","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMLNiQ3oSV_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=NTN0MXhuNWN1Ynd4 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Openshaw || Timpview</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Opemshaw is a player who you know will get better at the next level. His frame is lean, and he has also improved his game every year since he got to the high school level. He will put on some mass in college, and he will be a cheat code in the pick and pop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMomqA7RRDF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=ZDRyeG83Y2hoMjhv","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMomqA7RRDF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=ZDRyeG83Y2hoMjhv </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2089441' first='Jax' last='Clark'] || American Fork</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are a LM program looking for a steal with continued upside, Clark is the guy for you. He is explosive, and he is a good PF two player. Clark can turn and face and use his quickness, and he can also bully ball on the blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ177hAJDul/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MWh6YzJxc2Y1M3AxNg==">https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ177hAJDul/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MWh6YzJxc2Y1M3AxNg==</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2866266' first='Nikola' last='Janicic'] || Layton Christian Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is another new player who has made their way over to LCA. Jancic has elite footwork, and he will stretch the floor with his shooting ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMBcUH_SoUC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MWxmd3F3bGs2bzFyOA==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMBcUH_SoUC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MWxmd3F3bGs2bzFyOA== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2841025' first='Deng' last='Deng'] || Juan Diego </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of my favorite players to watch, he is just a ball of energy, and he is so active. He runs the floor with a purpose, and he is looking to rebound everything and dunk everything. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL8l3xGM4VU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MTJvMGp0OHdhOTB5aQ==">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL8l3xGM4VU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MTJvMGp0OHdhOTB5aQ==</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1278440' first='Soren' last='Ries'] || Highland </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Really think Ries has D1 potential. He kind of reminds me of a Jaden Brownells that played at Alta and is now at USC. Brownell went the LM route and ended up at a HM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMtYGdnSntr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MWlpd2JrbWJ2MGVreA==">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMtYGdnSntr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MWlpd2JrbWJ2MGVreA==</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1960161' first='Callen' last='Tollestrup'] || Timpview </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big body, mobility, and shooting ability are what you will get from Tollestrup. A lot of teams are moving towards forward that can spread the floor but also defend the paint. Tollestrup is that. Kid is good. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNFZqNxuMpq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=bTEzbW1ydDlrMG82">https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNFZqNxuMpq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=bTEzbW1ydDlrMG82</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1960175' first='Jelani' last='Odjegba'] || Pine View</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Odjegba has started to add more to his game than just being an above-the-rim player. Jelani might be one of the best players in Southern Utah right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMRPjkoAE2B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linku0026amp;igsh=MTlxaHRna202OTczNg==","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMRPjkoAE2B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MTlxaHRna202OTczNg== </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
