Player Spotlight

2024 guard Scotty Belnap will lead the way for the Monarchs. Belnap is a 6’5 shooting guard known for being an elite shooter from the outside. He has deep range with an ultra smooth release. He is great off the catch and coming off screens, but also knows how to get his shot off of attacking a close out. Belnap is also athletic and agile enough to finish at the rim off straight line drives. He is currently being recruited by schools like BYU and Utah State.
