Minnesota Top 250 Expo: 2022 Stock Risers

<p>What 2022s from the Top 250 Expo in Minnesota seemed to improve themselves as prospects in the eyes of college coaches?  Here is my group of names. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958845" first="Conner" last="Barney"] of Cloquet (6’2 Wing).  I like Barney for that division three level.  He’s strong enough to play a few different spots and his skills are rapidly improving.  I think he’s going to have a huge senior season. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958678" first="Evan" last="Bearth"] of Park of Cottage Grove (6’4 Wing). At 6’4 at the D3 level a team can put Bearth at forward and trust that he’s going to hit jumpers, trust that he is big enough to defend his spot, and know that he played with that top five Select team and did well. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958810" first="Collin" last="Bonow"] of Lewiston-Altura (6’0 Guard).  Collin continues to play with toughness and run an offense in an efficient way.  Even at an Expo where it’s five in, five out, new guys all around, and players wanting to make highlights, Bonow took care of the ball for winners. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958665" first="Jacob" last="Butler"] of Minneapolis North (6’5 Wing).  You always get something different with Butler in a quality way.  This past Friday Butler’s jumper was on and colleges watched with interest. Butler has the potential to someday be a D2 player.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="960335" first="Liam" last="Carney"] of Providence Academy (6’5 Guard).  Basketball has moved to one big with four versatile players around him.  They don’t get much more versatile than [player_tooltip player_id="960335" first="Liam" last="Carney"].  At the D3 level you could play him at the one through the four and he would come through for you.  Teams looking to take a chance on a guy at the D2 level with a partial, I would consider Carney who is more agile and explosive than people know. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1288799" first="Dalal" last="Gaarhaye"] of Eden Prairie (6’8 C).  At was my first viewing of Dalal but instantly he’s a player you can slot in as a top 15 big in this state.  Plays with some attitude, good passer, mixed it up with good players, and it will be fin to see how he is used this winte.r </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958736" first="Carson" last="Kolles"] of Monticello (5’10 PG).  Kolles has more juice to him than people know.  Looks a bit stronger and with that strength seems more confidence and core strength allowing Carson to be a fast paced playmaker.  Loved some of the combo guard playmaking things he did, Carson is better than I thought. I’d look at him for the D3 level. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1144100" first="Yonis" last="Mohamud"] of Shakopee (6’2 SG). I know, I know, we’ve talked about Yonis a ton already.  But one more pair of sentences can’t hurt.  Yonis is so much better off the bounce than we saw last year that now I think he can be a dual threat scorer that will lead to a lot of future options. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958848" first="Ty" last="Morrison"] of Deeer River (6’5 Wing).  D2 player to me all the way.  Shooting it well, handles it, doesn’t need to score to make a big impact, rebounds, and is an agile 6’5.  That is a D2 caliber player to me in some way shape or form. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="958757" first="Cody" last="Pennebaker"] of Park Center (6’5 Wing).  Time for those at the D1 level looking for skilled wings to head to a PC open gym.  This is a basketball world where everybody wants agile and skilled wings and they have three starting positions for those players these days.  Cody is a D1 talent for sure. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
