2029 Top 20 Player Rankings are LIVE!

Utah HS Basketball

Transcript

I did a few site updates to help with formatting and I’ll keep adding to it as I can.

A few notes before we get to the AI show notes below:

If you want to contribute any content, video, interviews, articles, let me know. I want to help not just the players but also the people who maybe want to get into media.
I used my BallerCam yesterday for my daughters sophomore volleyball game and my parents and siblings got to tune in and watch. What a gift for them and it only costs me $29/month to make those connections. Use code VIPADAM to get $25 off your accessory
I’ve only seen 4 of the 2029 players play in person or on video. I did reach out to a few club coaches who have teams at that age and got some feedback but I expect these to be very fluid as the year rolls on.

Ok, let’s get to the AI generated show notes:

Summary (2–3 sentences)

Quick Friday check-in: the 2029 player rankings are live and the site just got a navigation refresh. I walk through what changed, how I’m validating data (and cutting down my “uh/um” habit), and why these early rankings are directional. Plus an open invite for contributors and a heads-up on Utah alums playing at the Rocky Mountain Jamboree.

Key Takeaways

The site has a cleaner vertical layout and quicker paths to class rankings (’26–’29).
2029 rankings are a first draft; expect movement as real varsity minutes happen.
I’m prioritizing objective, sourced data and opening the platform to community contributors.

Utah High School Hoops Notes

2029 watchlist mentions: Kiir Naang (Anthem Prep/Mountain Stars), Brayden James, Xavier Mulford (Herriman), Ben Waner (Anthem Prep/Mountain Stars), Ty Kozlowski, Lincoln Chandler, Kip Taylor (brother of Austin at Davis).
Context: Early impressions only—no in-season Utah stats yet. When available, pull Utah numbers from MaxPreps and cross-check Deseret statewide leaders (2025).
