Let us take a closer look at 9 newcomers to the rankings.</p> <p>Full 2021 Rankings List:</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops.com/dakotas/rankings/north-dakota-rankings/2021-rankings/">https://prephoops.com/dakotas/rankings/north-dakota-rankings/2021-rankings/</a></p> <p>Alphabetically, here are 9 players that are new to the rankings:</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1124528" first="Gage" last="Anderson"] (2021) |5-10 G| West Fargo Sheyenne</strong> – He is having a great senior year and he is the PG on the #1 team in North Dakota. 15.9 ppg, 5 apg, 2.5 spg, and 83% FT's. Gage put up 29 points and 7 three-pointers in a game earlier in the year against Moorhead. He is a quick player that is great in transition. Gage surveys the floor well and is an elite passer. He is an aggressive cutter and has solid handles.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1115532" first="Grant" last="Gerving"] (2021) |5-10 G| Glen Ullin/Hebron </strong>– He is a great shooter with deep range. Grant has a nice fade away jump-shot that enables him to get his shot off when he pleases. He is effective off the bounce and he can catch and shoot in rhythm. Grant is a very unselfish player that does not force his shot. Grant works hard on defense and usually locks up with the opposing team's best player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1125689" first="Jack" last="Bright"] (2021) |6-5 F| Garrison</strong> – He is an athletic lefty that can do it all. I like his shot from beyond the arc. Jack is long and a fine athlete. He has good bounce and anticipatory skills that lead to steals and many blocked shots. Jack score in and around the paint with a plethora of moves. He can get out in transition and score in transition like a college athlete. He is a productive rebounder. I have been impressed with his cutting ability and mid-range jump shot.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1110932" first="Kameron" last="Arechigo"] (2021) |6-2 G| Fargo South</strong> – He is the scariest 3-point shooter in the EDC. Kam has unlimited range who can shoot off the dribble or catch and shoot. 16.8 ppg with 60 three-pointers made so far this year. Kam shoots it soft and he has good feet. I like his handles. I have seen him cross a few defenders up this year and make them look silly. Kam is a lights-out, dynamic, and clutch shooter.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1131388" first="Munezero" last="Desire"] (2021) |5-8 G| Wahpeton</strong> – He is a quick player and is a good defender. 19.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.6 apg, 3.4 spg, and 50% FG. Munezero is an exceptional rebounder for a 5'8” guard. He secures all of those rebounds because of his athleticism, effort, and hustle. Munezero has a quick first step and he has a nice pull-up jumper. He has good balance and flexibility when finishing in traffic.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1126985" first="Tanner" last="Soehren"] (2021) |6-3 F| Dickinson Trinity</strong> – He is the best frontcourt player in Region 7. Tanner is a strong athlete and a tough offensive rebounder. He is a consistent shooter from 17 feet and will occasionally knock down a 3-pointer. Tanner is best in the paint with solid moves on the block. If the defense plays behind him, Tanner will bury them low and score at will.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1124135" first="Trey" last="Welstad"] (2021) |6-1 G| Rugby</strong> – He is a high-level shooter from beyond the arc. Trey has excellent shooting mechanics and is always in-rhythm. He has a nice step-back move and has excellent ball skills. Trey moves well without the ball and he has a high basketball IQ.  I like his quickness and how easy the game comes to him.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1125923" first="William" last="Schuster"] (2021) |6-1 G| Midway/Minto</strong> – He plays with a great demeanor and flow to his game. William is a smooth backcourt player with long arms. I watched him in a game earlier this season where he scored 37 points, with four 3-pointers, and was 3-3 from the line. He has great fundamentals but also has the flair that makes him stand out amongst others. William has great hops and is an all-around special player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1124138" first="Warren" last="Walker"] (2021) |6-2 G| Rugby</strong> – He is an explosive athlete that moves well. Warren is a skilled player on the offensive side of the ball. I have been impressed with his ability to finish with both hands at the rim. Warren is a strong player that can finish through contact. He always seems to be attacking the defense.</p>
