During its run the GWSC has proven a nifty showcase as to why Utah is home to some of the most underrated high school hoops in the country.

And that will be the case again this week, as the likes of squads from American Fork and Timpview (from near-by Provo) demonstrated Wednesday in victories over Woods Cross and Ridgeline (Millville), respectively.

I’ve known Frank for at least 35 years and have the utmost respect for his writing as well as his understanding of, and insight into, basketball. His ability to evaluate basketball prospects is almost impeccable. Most coaches and scouts watch a player and can tell you how good he is NOW. What separates Frank from the others is that he can watch the same player and tell you how good he can be two or three years down the line.
