<p>What players do I feel are being under recruited from each of the teams in our final 17u top 25?  Here is my list.  </p> <div class="article-content"> <p>(1) Grassroots Sizzle UAA:  [player_tooltip player_id="850712" first="Malcolm" last="Jones"], a 6’8/6’9 post that I feel could play for most low majors and a lot of mid major programs. </p> <p>(2) Howard Pulley: [player_tooltip player_id="958666" first="Donnavin" last="Hinsz"], a 6’6 four man that is agile, quick off his feet, and has shown he can defend a few spots. </p> <p>(3) D1 Minnesota 3SSB: [player_tooltip player_id="850704" first="Elvis" last="Nnaji"], staying with the bigs, a 6’8/6’9 frontcourt player that competes with energy and has the measureables. </p> <p>(4) Minnesota Select: [player_tooltip player_id="958669" first="Kenji" last="Scales"].  I think there are some teams laying in the weeds on this one waiting.  Kenji would be a great NSIC player.</p> <p>(4) Minnesota Fury: [player_tooltip player_id="850735" first="Brady" last="Helgren"].  Another big?  Yes.  I have no idea why the bigs are being under recruited all over but they are. </p> <p>(6) D1 Minnesota Prospects:  [player_tooltip player_id="891901" first="Ahjany" last="Lee"].  What?  Yep.  Lee is a high major big with a huge upside and I think he’s being under recruited at this point. </p> <p>(7) Minnesota Lightning:  Jayden Wysocki.  I think the 6’6 forward has a lot of upside and is just now scratching the surface.</p> <p>(8) WOTN: Connor Beauchamp.  This young man from Lakeville South seems like a player that could be a superstar MIAC player as he is just getting going. </p> <p>(9) Gain Elite: [player_tooltip player_id="1081804" first="Gob" last="Gob"].  Gob has ball skills in a long and agile frame that could lead to him playing a few different spots. </p> <p>(10) Comets Elite: [player_tooltip player_id="958639" first="Johnny" last="Tennyson"].  From what I have seen I think Tennyson is one of the more consistent, efficient guards. </p> <p>(11) Minnesota Heat Mac:  [player_tooltip player_id="850723" first="Dylan" last="Wheeler"].  In addition to being one of the better shooters in the class, Wheeler is dependable and efficient. </p> <p>(12) Minnesota Heat Grow: [player_tooltip player_id="958665" first="Jacob" last="Butler"].  This team has several but I am saying Butler because he does so much.  </p> <p>(13) Minnesota Fury Narum: [player_tooltip player_id="1144100" first="Yonis" last="Mohamud"].  This young man is confident and had a good summer. I could see him taking another step. </p> <p>(14) Comets Belka; [player_tooltip player_id="958683" first="Mason" last="Lund"].  Mason has three NSIC offers but I think he’s got even more to him.  </p> <p>(15) Real Phenom: [player_tooltip player_id="532569" first="Andre" last="Gray"].  Can I say Andre even though he is already in college? I think Andre has a bright future. </p> <p>(16) Starks Elite: [player_tooltip player_id="958677" first="Will" last="Van Scoy"].  Now that he is healthy, I think the passing and feel of Van Scoy will be wanted in a big way after this winter. </p> <p>(17) MSP Elite: [player_tooltip player_id="1139741" first="Logan" last="Kinsey"].  I’m using this spot to tell you I think this is a D1 kid and MSUM got a steal.  This is a D1 player. </p> <p>(18) Team Get Shook: Lewis Cargoer.  I love the way he competes.  Lewis could be a game changer on D in college. </p> <p>(19) Minnesota Rise: [player_tooltip player_id="958817" first="Sam" last="Knowles"],  Sam looks like the modern day skilled bigger player that can do a lot in the MIAC or NAIA. </p> <p>(20) Playmakers Showcase North: [player_tooltip player_id="958848" first="Ty" last="Morrison"].  Good size, versatile, can play a few spots, impacts scoring or when he’s not scoring. </p> <p>(21) Grassroots Caldwell: [player_tooltip player_id="958771" first="Emmanuel" last="Manyuon"].  I don’t think enough people know how good this kid really is. </p> <p>(22) Northstar Titans Barker: [player_tooltip player_id="796952" first="Owen" last="Dukowitz"].  I love the way Dukowitz plays.  He provides a crucial role and is more skilled than known. </p> <p>(23) E1T1: [player_tooltip player_id="796949" first="Ryan" last="Warren"].  I think there is more potential to this young man that we could see develop soon. </p> <p>(24) Select Mantey:  [player_tooltip player_id="958725" first="Ty" last="Creger"].  Learning more and more about him, seeing him play, Creger is a top 100 player in the state.</p> <p>(25) Comets Petermeier: Jordan Schumann.  Cathedral didn’t have a great winter so it was great to see Jordan shine with this team. </p> </div> <div class="section related-posts-widget mb-4"> <div class="card w-100 card-no-border"> </div> </div>
