Players to Watch
One of the most exciting players we got to see during the high school season should be fun to watch during the grassroots season and that’s Milika Satuala Milika Satuala 5'10" | CG Bountiful | 2026 State UT . This girl does it all and love that she has a bag in her post game. She will run with Kashyyyk Elite who has a solid team that will play all over the country.
T’Maea Etuati is another player that really showed she could be a big time lead guard. We have not heard who she will run with this Spring or Summer but she has game.
Alia Baldassano Alia Baldassano 5'5" | PG Alta | 2026 State UT out of Alta High School is coming off of a great season. She will be on that AIM U17 Mamba squad. They have a few other players to watch like Kiara Zwonitzer out of Davis, Jaycee Carlson Jaycee Carlson 5'10" | CG Mountain View | 2026 State UT (Mountain View) and excited to also watch Ella Seymore Ella Seymore 5'10" | CG Westlake | 2026 State UT (Westlake) a player that has that high energy and she could be electric for sure.
Jazzi Prieto Jazzi Prieto 5'4" | PG Roy | 2026 State UT out of Roy High School has looked shifty on that Utah Prospects Gold team. They have a deep squad, Stacia Peoples Stacia Peoples 5'7" | CG Bingham | 2026 State UT looks sharp and so does Fili Liava’a Fili Liava’a 5'6" | PG Wasatch | 2026 State UT out of Wasatch. This team has a lot of high quality players.
Kya Newton Kya Newton 5'5" | PG Mountain Ridge | 2026 State UT was really good playing at Mountain Ridge and she will run it back with Summit and she will have some solid teammates in Carley Caton Carley Caton 5'10" | SF Cottonwood | 2026 State UT out of Cottonwood but that is just the tip of the iceberg because that Summit team is loaded.
Utah Prospects 3SSB will have a few players to lean on but keep an eye on Tabitha Clark Tabitha Clark 5'8" | PG Pleasant Grove | 2026 State UT out of PG, she has elite positional size. Then you go to the backcourt and you have Olivia Stephens Olivia Stephens 5'8" | PG Brighton | 2026 State UT who pays with and endless motor. She has players inside and outside she can find all day. Jessica Maynard Jessica Maynard 6'0" | PF Mountain Ridge | 2026 State UT is a stud and she can really hold her own anywhere out there on the floor.
Always love what is going on with Salt Lake Metro they have a load of players that have next level talent. Mia Johnson Mia Johnson 5'9" | SG Skyline | 2026 State UT is solid out of Skyline. Keep an eye on Kenadie Maughan from Emery, small school talent with a big game.
