<p>We take a look at some of the best players that Southern Utah has to offer, and there are some good ones. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#1 [player_tooltip player_id='790604' first='Rylee' last='Little'], Kanab 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Little is one of the best players out West, and it wasn't too long ago that she was not even playing on a circuit. Rylee was able to take advantage of her time playing club ball as she quickly made a name for herself playing up a year as a 16-year-old on the 17U team. Fast forward to the last grassroots season, Little was by far the best player in her class, and although she is #2 right now, it would not be a crazy idea that she regains the #1 spot come the next rankings. Little will be attending the University of Utah and could be in the mix to play right away as a freshman. Keep an eye on her. </p>

<p><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='873331' first='Izzy' last='Hollingshead'], Dixie 2028</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hollingshead has a lot of upside and a great foundation. She has been put in a really good position to be successful across the board. She was the leading scorer on her team and hit 54 three-pointers. If Hollingshead improves her play and is more efficient, she could have some impressive numbers heading into her sophomore season.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#3 Addie Winters, Dixie 2028</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Addie Winters' dedication during the spring and summer has positioned her for a breakout sophomore year. Her potential as a two-way player makes her a standout in her class, and she is poised to make a significant impact.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#4 [player_tooltip player_id='796800' first='Reese' last='Gustin'], Pine View 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>5'9 guard with upside. Gustin can shoot the ball, and her length allows her to see the floor better and also rebound. A very impactful player who will help her team be the favorite in region play. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#5 [player_tooltip player_id='839480' first='Gabby' last='Gomez'], Cedar City 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gomez is going to be a player with a green light. She was able to knock down 69 three-pointers this past season, and I have her for the over on 70 made three-pointers this coming season. She will be a good addition to a D2-type program that can let her do her thing. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#6 [player_tooltip player_id='875186' first='Falynn' last='Randall'], Snow Canyon 2028</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Randall is one of those girls who came in under the radar if you hadn't seen her play. But Randall is a very solid player, and she has this assuring game, and before you know it, she is in double figures. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#7 [player_tooltip player_id='1312242' first='Mylee' last='Villanueva'], Desert Hills 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Villanueva has a great touch around the rim, and she is a downhill physical wing. She is another sleeper prospect in the class that has next-level playing ability. </p>

<p><strong>#8 Ella Fiafia, Pine View 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fiafia is a player that you need to watch play. She brings a lot of energy and physicality inside and has the type of game that will translate to the next level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#9 Chalee Andres, Snow Canyon 2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Andres is a prospect who has flown under the radar, but she possesses both size and skill. Her attributes make her a potential fit for an NWAC program, and she demonstrates a solid back-to-the-basket game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>#10 [player_tooltip player_id='974008' first='Emeli' last='Langi'], Desert Hills 2027</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Tough guard that can plow through defenders when she gets downhill. Langi could live at the free-throw line this season and put up some impressive numbers. </p>
