2022 Prospect Rankings: The True Under the Radar Players

<p>Very soon the Minnesota 2022 Prospect Rankings will be released.  Here some of my notes as we approach the release.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958838" first="Jack" last="Behning"] of Lester Prairie (6’4 small forward).  Jack scored 17 a game last winter for a really good Class A team in LP.  He has a nice touch but even more impressive is his scoring feel and he has a bit more pop than people expect when finishing, covering down for a block.  Could have a monster senior year. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1268462" first="Sam" last="Best"] of Benilde-St. Margaret’s (6’3 wing).  The Red Knights are expected to be a top ten Class AAA squad this year and hopes are quite high.  There are some impact transfers, the backcourt of Alipate and Ijadimbola, and then [player_tooltip player_id="1268462" first="Sam" last="Best"] as well.  Best is no throw in, he had a really nice junior season as a hard working skilled player.  Don’t overlook this young man, he will make a nice impact. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1181049" first="Keyon" last="Broussard"] of Roseville (6’4 guard).  Seeing Keyon play this 17u season I was really impressed with both the frame as a long 6’4 skilled guard, and the confidence playmaking he brought Team Get Shook.  Last winter Keyon led his team in steals and hit over a third of his threes, should take a big step forward as a senior. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958794" first="Dylan" last="Fox"] of Warroad (6’3 forward).  Fox is a big number producer guy for one of the more consistent northern Minnesota programs in recent years.  Fox was the league MVP in a good league and back for another run hoping to push Warroad back into that Top Ten this winter. A small school stretch four man with a good touch. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1268457" first="Kyle" last="Haas"] of Prior Lake (6’2 point guard).  Haas is one of the better passers in the senior class and he did a wonderful job of running the offense for a WOTN offense that had a great year.  In addition, Haas is always one of the stronger players on the court and plays great position defense so turning the corner on him is very tough.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1268468" first="Jordan" last="Schumann"] of St. Cloud Cathedral (6’4 forward). Cathedral had a rough winter.  They won only a few games as a small school squad so Jordan was a bit of an unknown.  He’s known now after a fantastic 17u season with Comets Petermeier which opened up a ton of eyes. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1201129" first="Trent" last="Steffensmeier"] of Sleepy Eye St Mary’s (6’0 guard). It’s not often you take a team to the final four in the state and then return after great sophomore and junior years but fall into Under the Radar but that is Trent. Quick guard that plays good defense. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1268467" first="Gani" last="Stevens"] of Saint Anthony Village (6’7 center).  Stevens is a strong low post big with great core strength and a really nice low post fight.  Gani’s touch is really good after he makes his turn to get on balance deep inside.  Sets a strong screen and moves into position well, we think he will have a big senior year. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="962271" first="Cayden" last="Werner"] of Marshall (6’8 power forward).  Werner came off the Marshall bench last year but will be one of the top players on the team this winter.  Werner was really good with the Stars this 17u season and should be next in line of Marshall forwards who become college frontcourt players at some level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
