<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The recruiting is getting really exciting as players start to pick up more offers, and other players are looking to commit. Let's take a glance at how the recruiting is shaping up across the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Committed</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just a few days ago, one of the best guards in the state committed to CSI. That is [player_tooltip player_id='1278442' first='Carlo' last='Mulford'] out of Herriman High School. Mulford should be on his way to score 1,500 points in his high school career, and he chose the JUCO route, which is a good way to get your game right for the Division 1 level without losing any eligibility. He should be a very interesting prospect in a few years, making his way into the D1 spotlight. Not fully sure if he is going to re-class due to an LDS Mission, but he should be ready to battle for a spot right away if he goes straight to college after high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offered</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Openshaw is one of the best and brightest stock risers in the past few years here in Utah. The amount of work he has put into his game is just mind-boggling. Openshaw picked up a huge offer from local BYU, and you can tell that they can see where he will be in three years after a mission as a stretch 4 that will have matured and grown into his body. Amazing vision by BYU to see his upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1724358' first='Troy' last='Kaufusi'] has emerged as a highly sought-after prospect, with college programs actively vying for his talent. His recent offer from the University of Hawaii underscores his growing reputation and the program's ambition to bolster its roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Who to Offer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2841025' first='Deng' last='Deng'] is at the top of our list to offer as a D1 prospect. The kid has upside, and if there is an LM with vision, they could see him as a big-time/high-ceiling prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shifting over to Judge Memorial. [player_tooltip player_id='1926070' first='Massaer' last='Mbodj'] is a very intriguing prospect. Schools like Adams State and Colorado Mesa should be all over this kid. Could see him getting a few strong offers from NJCAA schools. This kid is going to have a monster year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1724360' first='Ashton' last='Shewell'] is poised to make a significant impact. His speed and athleticism are notable, and he has the potential to emerge as a versatile combo guard, excelling on both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The recruiting is getting really exciting as players start to pick up more offers, and other players are looking to commit. Let's take a glance at how the recruiting is shaping up across the state.
