Breyton Buysman Breyton Buysman 6'3" | SG Simley | 2021 State MN of Simley (SF, 6’3). Breyton continues to improve. We’ve seen him play here and there for several years and he’s coming off of a dozen point per game season at Simley. The potential is there to be a 20 point per game guy in the Metro East.
Connor Chappell Connor Chappell 6'6" | PF Orono | 2021 State MN of Orono (PF, 6’6). Connor scored 15 a game this winter using his inside-out, skilled physical abilities to lead the Spartans. Connor has a chance to be a top 2-3 scorer for the Crossfire and one of the top two rebounders on the squad as well.
Bradley Cimperman Bradley Cimperman 6'5" | SG Woodbury | 2021 State MN of Woodbury (SG, 6’4). A talented big guard that has the potential to be a scholarship wing. He’s surely a top 40 player in his class and a guy that the MIAC schools will be all over but the potential is there for even more.
Nyle Dickel Nyle Dickel 6'1" | SG Minneapolis Washburn | 2021 MN of Minneapolis Washburn (SF, 6’3). Nyle is currently picking up football offers plus he scored six points a game for the Millers on the basketball court.
Reagan Koch Reagan Koch 6'3" | PG Jordan | 2021 State MN of Jordan (PG, 6’3). Koch is a skilled playmaker that can play several positions. He’s a top 100 level senior with the potential to raise up much higher. Reagan averaged 15.3 points, 4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.7 steals per game for the Hubmen as a junior. Koch may be playing lead guard or on the wing.
Zach Longueville Zach Longueville 6'1" | PG St. Croix Lutheran | 2021 State MN of St. Croix Lutheran (SG, 6’1). One of the better shooters in the 2021 class, Zach scored 19 points a game for St. Criox Lutheran over the winter. His all around game has improved making more plays off the dribble but as a shooter he remains one of the best. Top 100 senior.
Andrew Mandel Andrew Mandel 6'9" | C Orono | 2021 State MN of Orono (6’9 C). Mandel took some strong steps this year scoring three buckets a game with 5-6 boards each contest. He’s a top 100 level player in the senior class and one of the better 7-8 centers in the class.
Rowan Nelson Rowan Nelson 6'6" | PF Melrose | 2021 State MN of Melrose (PF, 6’6). Rowan is a top 60 player in the senior class coming off a 16 point, seven rebound, 2.5 assist per game season playing both forward spots. Can play with his back to the basket or he can face up and make plays. Nelson will be one of the more consistent producers for this team.
Trystan Ressler Trystan Ressler 6'2" | SG Lakeville South | 2021 State MN of Lakeville South (SG, 6’2). Ressler played of the bench for a good South team and as the year went on his became more and more reliable as a player. Ressler was a reliant scorer, rebounder, and defender for Crossfire last year and should step into the same role for this team.
Jordan Stone Jordan Stone 6'6" | PF PACT Charter | 2021 State MN of PACT (SF, 6’6). Stone gave PACT 17.4 points and 9.3 boards a game plus he’s a very good passer and shot contester. Stone led PACT to 11 victories this winter and is expected to have a big senior year. Starting with his 17u season.
