Scouting Minnesota – 3AAA Ten Best

<p>Section 3AAA has quickly become one of the most competitive groups in the state.  Here are ten of the top names from a section including Richfield, South St. Paul, Holy Angels, St. Croix Lutheran, and more. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Five Best</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="958636" first="Alonzo" last="Dodd"]</strong> of South St. Paul. At this point it’s hard to say much more than we have said lately about Alonzo because the kid is on fire.  Had a great sophomore year, had a great showing with Sizzle last weekend, schools are calling, Dodd is one of the hottest names in the Midwest.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="774836" first="Lamar" last="Grayson"]</strong> of Richfield. Lamar can be an explosive shooter, and an explosive scorer.  He averaged 19 plus points a game leading to being named the Section Player of the year as Richfield won the section with a 23-6 record.  Also a first team all league player. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="850716" first="Emmett" last="Johnson"]</strong> of Holy Angels. Johnson is becoming a high level on ball defender, he is quick as they come with the ball in his hands, and he led AHA in assists and was the second leading scorer.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="774760" first="Zach" last="Longueville"]</strong> of St. Croix Lutheran. Zach is a 6-foot-1 guard that is a two time Tri Metro All Conference player coming off of a 18.6 point, 6.5 rebound, and a 4.7 assist per game season.  He did all of this while dealing with injury issues much of the season. </p> <p><strong style="font-size: 1rem;">[player_tooltip player_id="774779" first="Ryan" last="Miles"]</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> of Richfield.  Standing at 6-foot-5 as a shooting wing, [player_tooltip player_id="774779" first="Ryan" last="Miles"] is a very interesting prospect that has new put his name in the hat as a next up prospect.  He averaged 14 a game as a sophomore and then 15 a game as a junior. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Five More</strong></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="774770" first="Owen" last="Bushaw"]</strong> of St. Croix Lutheran. One of the hottest players in the state of Minnesota at the end of the year was [player_tooltip player_id="774770" first="Owen" last="Bushaw"]. If there was a "most improved player" award in the state he would of been on the final list.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="532566" first="Xavier" last="Garcia"]</strong> of St. Croix Lutheran. Garcia is a skilled player with size that scored 14 points a game as a junior. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="774816" first="Marquise" last="Gleb"]</strong> of South St. Paul.  The Packer that may not get the attention that he deserves is Marquise.  He’s a 6-foot-1 active worker that scored 14 a game and is a good wideout prospect too.  </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="958679" first="Mitchell" last="January"]</strong> of Richfield. January is the top 2022 talent at Richfield who has the potential to some day score 20 a game.  Averaged 14 a contest as a sophomore. </p> <p><strong>Max Wilson</strong> of South St. Paul. Max is one of the better 5-6 2023 kids in the state.  He played on and off the ball for the Packers and had a big impact scoring 12 a game on a team that had their best year in 30 seasons. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Extra Pair</strong> (Too Close to Leave Them Off)</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="957198" first="Bryce" last="Boyd"]</strong> of Holy Angels. Bryce caught me off guard as he gave the Stars a third consistent scoring threat each night.  He has a chance to have a great senior year. </p> <p><strong>Isaiah Casey-Hammond</strong> of Richfield. Isaiah is the Richfield big who stands 6-foot-7 and has the length and agility to be a college basketball player. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
