Continue ReadingThe Spartans had a great run last in the season and made it to the State Tournament. They will be looking it harness that momentum are carry it into next season. The Spartans look to be one of the best up-and-coming teams in all of North Dakota. The freshmen class is absolutely loaded. When you add in some talented upperclassmen, you will have a great team. Sem will be a sophomore in the state next season for the Spartans. Fargo North will be one of the best teams in the EDC next season. I expect them to be back in the State Tournament next season. They will be looking for a #1 or #2 seed in 2022. North seems to have a great program and an excellent youth developmental system. Look out for the Spartans, they are a team on the rise!
Below are the players playing AAU this spring and summer:
Jalen May Jalen May 6'3" | SF Fargo North | 2022 State ND (2022) |6-3 F| ECI Selects – He is a flexible player that does his work inside and outside. May seems to know the game well and is constantly in the right spot at the right time. The Spartans will need his rebounding next year and his strength inside on defense. Jalen’s 3-point shooting is intriguing. He is a microwave shooter, May gets hot in a hurry. Jalen will typically have a big man defending him. With that, he spreads the floor nicely when he steps out for screens and shots.
Nathaniel Kallod Nathaniel Kallod 6'0" | SG Fargo North | 2022 State ND (2022) |6-0 G| Next Level Academy – Kallod is a physically strong guard who is great at using his strength to get to the rim. Deceptively quick first step and once he has you on his hip it is almost impossible to recover. If defenders take the attacking seams away, he will pull up and take the jumper at a high percentage. He is also a very nice rebounding guard who defends well.
Isaac Cody Isaac Cody 6'3" | SG Fargo North | 2022 State ND (2022) |6-3 G| Next Level Academy – A long guard that has the potential to be a consistent scorer in the EDC. He has a nice stroke from the 3-point arc. Cody has a quick shooting release that looks effortless. He moves well and spaces the floor. He reacts to what the defense is doing a move accordingly.
David Shilling David Shilling 6'3" | SF Fargo North | 2024 State ND (2024) |6-2 F| ECI Selects – He is good at getting downhill and attacking the defender’s hip. Shilling is merciless when it comes to rebounding. The Spartans will need that attitude against the bigger teams in the EDC next season. David is an athletic player that has hops. He can get out in transition and make plays happen. Playing with ECI this spring/summer will make him a more well-rounded player. Look for David to be an impact player for North next year.
Jeremiah Sem Jeremiah Sem 6'3" | SG Fargo North | 2024 State #303 Nation ND (2024) |6-1 G| ECI Prospects – A super gifted player that has all the right moves. He should be a Power-5 recruit in D1. Jeremiah is an absolute star. He has been tearing it up in AAU so far this season. I can not imagine what he will do in the EDC next year. He is only going to get better, that is the scary part. The future looks bright for North, especially with Mr. Sem at the helm.
Carter Zeller Carter Zeller 6'6" | PF Fargo North | 2024 State ND (2024) |6-5 F| ECI Prospects – As a freshman playing in the post in the EDC this year, Carter looked like he belonged on the court. If he were playing against kids his own age Zeller would look like a man amongst boys. I love how aggressive he plays. He does not shy away from contact whatsoever. Carter has multiple moves that he uses in and around the lane to score points. He has a nice touch. Zeller is a star on the rise.
Bode Hoeg Bode Hoeg 6'2" | PG Fargo North | 2024 ND (2024) |6-0 G| ECI Prospects – A bright player that is a student of the game. Bode knows the game inside and out. He is a born leader. Hoeg knows who to get the ball to when they have a hot hand. Bode is an all-around player that does not necessarily need to score to be a great player. His solid fundamentals and knowledge will keep him on the floor.
Matthew Sem Matthew Sem 6'1" | SG Fargo North | 2025 State ND (2025) |5-11 G| Inspired Athletics – He is way ahead of the game when it comes to defense and creating turnovers. Sem can anticipate the pass coming and pick it off with ease. He is an athletic player that makes plays with ease. On offense, Sem can slice through gaps and finish smoothly at the rim. He can also stroke it smoothly from the 3-point arc. Matthew is another great player coming through the North system.
Eric DeBoer Eric DeBoer 6'5" | SG Fargo North | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-2 F| Inspired Athletics – A hard-working player that gives his 100%. You will never question Eric’s effort. He can hit the jumper from mid-range smoothly. Eric can stretch the floor and drain the triple.
