TAYLOR BROWN, 6-5, Alta — Junior shooting guard is one player you could say has unlimited shooting range; consistently hits from three to four feet beyond the NBA line. Hit eight treys against Houston Hoops AAU squad and dropped seven against a team with several UCLA commits. The 30-footer is nothing for Brown, who can drop 40-footers with a high percent. Improved defender who can get to the basket. Younger brother of former BYU quarterback Jackson Brown.

BEN CLIFFORD, 6-4, Bingham — Guard was in junior high last year but is already making his mark among high school and AAU players.

SHAWN CAREY, 6-6, Bountiful — Forward graduates in 2009 but already has the reputation as the Michael Jordan dunker of Utah basketball. The heir to Ben Aird's minutes and role.

BRONSON KAUFUSI, 6-5, 220, Timpview — Ninth-grader who made varsity. Son of BYU defensive line coach Steve Kaufusi. Playing basketball to keep his skills going so he can be a 245-pound football tight end some day. Already one of the strongest player in the state, he has pushed around some of the top big men around.

KYLE COLLINSWORTH, 6-1, Provo — Guard is the younger brother of BYU-bound Chris Collinsworth, who is the same height at this age as his 6-8 older brother was. A smooth, athletic point guard.
