The 17U All State Team – Non Minnesotans

<p>The Non Minnesotans 17U All State Team.  Honoring the best players that competed for Minnesota 17u Teams that weren’t from Minnesota. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>First Trio</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1158420" first="Wyatt" last="Helming"] of Minnesota Lightning (Lake Mills, IA). Helming may have been the out of state MVP at times this year.  After helping lead Lake Mills to a 25-1 season as the second leading scorer and rebounder, he was the inside force for the Lightning scoring and rebounding all year. </p> [caption id="attachment_1255233" align="alignright" width="150"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/Treysen-Eaglestaff.jpg"><img class="wp-image-1255233 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/07/Treysen-Eaglestaff-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Treysen Eaglestaff[/caption] <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1046352" first="Treysen" last="Eaglestaff"] of D1 Minnesota (Bismarck, ND). If Helming wasn’t the out of state MVP it would be because of the shooting of UND bound [player_tooltip player_id="1046352" first="Treysen" last="Eaglestaff"].  Trey’s confidence in making shots was there regardless if it was an EYBL team, Adidas team, UAA team, or Prep Hoops Circuit team he was facing.  Big potential.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="682279" first="Tamin" last="Lipsey"] of D1 Minnesota (Ames, IA). Lipsey missed the first event of the year and was injured later in July so the Iowa State committed guard had a bit of a limited 17u season.  D1 Minnesota was 15-8 when Lipsey played as he was the balance and the defensive on-ball toughness of the team. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Second Trio</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="988962" first="C.J." last="Campbell"] of Howard Pulley (New Richmond, WI).  Campbell is a D2 offered 6-foot-6 small forward that offered depth to a Howard Pulley team that won 32 games.  </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="812220" first="Gus" last="Hurlburt"] of D1 Minnesota Prospects (Enderlin, ND). Hurlburt was the hard working big that defended, set strong ball screens, finished at the cup, and brought energy. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="787658" first="Joe" last="Hurlburt"] of D1 Minnesota (Enderlin, ND). I thought Hurlburt assimilated well to all of the talent on the D1 Minnesota roster rebounding solid, scoring in active ways, and hitting a jumper or two each game.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Third Trio</strong></p> [caption id="attachment_1191033" align="alignright" width="150"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Kevon-Powell1.jpg"><img class="wp-image-1191033 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/Kevon-Powell1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a> Kevon Powell[/caption] <p><strong>Kevon Powell</strong> of Playmakers North (Ashland, WI).  Powell’s attack minded game off the ball mixed with his transition push opportunities.  He was a great compliment to Tre Brown and Ty Morrison all season. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1261418" first="Evan" last="Bennett"] of Starks Elite (Superior, WI).  Bennett had a great 17u season often leading Starks Elite in scoring.  Averaged 16 points a game in their final event. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1158479" first="Dalton" last="Dibert"] of Minnesota Lightning Studer (Kee, IA). Dibert is a tough guard that averaged 17 points and 5 assists as a junior and was a Lightning playmakers. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Fourth Trio</strong></p> <p><strong>Koy Nelson</strong> of Starks Elite (South Shore, WI). Nelson earned a reputation as one of the better three point shooters a lot of the small colleges saw. </p> <p><strong>Robert Olson</strong> of Playmakers North (Superior, WI).  Olson was a key reserve for Superior last year and then did a nice job playing a dual guard role for the Playmakers.</p> <p><strong>Jack Janke</strong> of Minnesota Heat Hoyt (Ellsworth, WI).  A scholarship football talent that was really good for the team when he played but he didn’t play much because of injury.  </p>
