Prospect Rankings: Minnesota’s top 25 Senior SGs

<p>The 2020 fall high school basketball rankings update is right around the corner and today we project the shooting guards who are seniors in Minnesota. </p> <p>At the bottom of this page you can see the Prep Hoops explanation of our rankings as of course prospect rankings are different than a straight player ranking of who is currently a more productive high school player.  In addition to what's below there are two important points I think that need to be made with this week's position rankings:</p> <p><strong>ONE</strong>. Basketball has become multi-positional of course with players competing inside and out at a number of positions.  That said, college coaches, high school coaches, and the spring/summer coaches still use the terms "Point", "the one", "at the two", "at the four", and "he's a the five" commonly.  The difference today is that your position has become more about what you can guard defensively as compared to what a player can do offensively.  If a prospect is playing shooting guard on offense at 5-foot-10 but then goes the other way and guards the point guard, college coaches at the higher levels are going to consider that player as the lead guard (and that ultimately can lead to why players may not play at the level they think they should in college). </p> <p><strong>TWO</strong>.  This week's position rankings will consist of all five positions, and no player will be in two different rankings.  Yes Jalen Suggs could be listed as the number one player at point guard and at shooting guard but we are listing him as a two in these rankings.  That same thing can be said about many players. </p> <p><strong>THREE</strong>.  If you feel like somebody should be here and isn't, my email is ryan@prephoops.com and my DMs are already open.  Chance could be I forgot a player or two (my deeper research will hit with the new top 250 in later September) or I thought of them as a different position. </p> <h2> </h2> <h2><strong>The 25 2020 Shooting Guard Prospects in Minnesota</strong></h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>(1) Jalen Suggs </strong>of Minnehaha Academy/Grassroots Sizzle.  </p> <p><strong>(2) Kerwin Walton</strong> of Hopkins/D1 Minnesota.</p> <p><strong>(3) Joshua Brown</strong> of Park Center/Minnesota Heat Vang. </p> <p><strong>(4) Tyree Ihenacho</strong> of Prior Lake/Minnesota Select. </p> <p><strong>(5) Zach Lea</strong> of Chaska/Minnesota Fury.  Committed to Minnesota-Duluth</p> <p><strong>(6) PJ Hayes </strong>of Waconia/Minnesota Comets DLR.</p> <p><strong>(7) Gabe Myren</strong> of Spring Lake Park/Minnesota Matrix.  Committed to Minnesota State Moorhead. </p> <p><strong>(8) Austin Wetter</strong> of Monticello/Minnesota Comets DLR. </p> <p><strong>(9) Ryan Samuelso</strong>n of Jordan/Minnesota Fury. </p> <p><strong>(10) Curtis Jones</strong> of Cretin-Derham Hall/Mentality Minnesota. </p> <p><strong>(11) Hakim Daniels</strong> of Maranatha Christian Academy. </p> <p><strong>(12) James Sommer</strong> of Cristo Rey/Mentality Minnesota. </p> <p><strong>(13) Joshua Rogers</strong> of Minneapolis Washburn/Minnesota Fury K. </p> <p><strong>(14) Joseph Kearney</strong> of Tartan/Grassroots Sizzle Caldwell. </p> <p><strong>(15) Luke Gitzen</strong> of Chanhassen/Minnesota Fury.  </p> <p><strong>(16) Kurt Ohlhues</strong> of Eagan/Minnesota Fury K. </p> <p><strong>(17) Rudy Voss</strong> of JCC/Pentagon Schoolers. </p> <p><strong>(18) Riley O'Connor</strong> of Minnetonka/Minnesota Heat Pres.</p> <p><strong>(19) Miles Frisch</strong> of Eden Prairie/Minnesota Select Brown. </p> <p><strong>(20) Jack Fisher</strong> of Rochester Century.</p> <p><strong>(21) Brenden Lankford-Johnson</strong> of North St. Paul/Gain Elite. </p> <p><strong>(22) Caleb Druvenga</strong> of Shakopee/Minnesota Comets DLR.</p> <p><strong>(23) Daniel McCarrell</strong> of St Croix Prep/Minnesota Fury K. </p> <p><strong>(24) Jacob Stolzenberg</strong> of St. Cloud Cathedral/Minnesota Matrix. </p> <p><strong>(25) Glentrell Carter</strong> of Minneapolis Henry/FAB.</p> <p><strong>(25) Simeon Sharp</strong> of St. Paul Harding/RIP City. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Notes</strong></p> <ul> <li>For the most part I separated the shooting guard position and the small forward position by size with a couple exceptions based on who I think can guard who at these spots. Shooting guard and small forward have basically become wings overall but coaches still have to separate the spots in terms of who defends who so we will continue to separate as well. I could of gone Wing 1 and Wing 2, but I kind of like the SG and SF part of things as well.  </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5 class="text-center font-weight-bold mt-2 mb-3">About Our Rankings</h5> <p>Prep Hoops prospect rankings have been compiled by our staff with input from high school, club and college coaches from across the state.
