- Taison Chatman Taison Chatman 6'4" | PG Totino Grace | 2023 State #35 Nation MN of D1 Minnesota. Five star proven the last three months
- Darrin Ames Darrin Ames 6'1" | PG Kenwood | 2023 State #99 Nation IL of Mac Irvin Fire Ames is every bit the player that he has been advertised to be.
- Kadyn Betts Kadyn Betts 6'7" | PF Huntington Prep | 2023 #90 Nation CO of P.L.U.T.O. Prospects The world will know soon that this is a top 100 talent.
- Boden Kapke Boden Kapke 6'11" | C Holy Family | 2023 State #153 Nation MN of D1 Minnesota. Size, agility, skills to play inside/out, boards, top 150 nationally easy
- Gus Yalden Gus Yalden 6'9" | C La Lumiere | 2023 IN of P.L.U.T.O. Prospects. First viewing in a year, top 150 national talent.
- Pryce Sandfort Pryce Sandfort 6'7" | SF Waukee Northwest | 2023 State #123 Nation IA of D1 Minnesota. His ability to shoot the basketball were as advertised.
- Dallas Bear Dallas Bear 6'8" | SF Cedar Falls | 2023 State #276 Nation IA of Iowa Barnstormers. I fully believe this is a high major stretch four.
- Jordan Clayton Jordan Clayton 6'2" | CG Bradford Christian Academy | 2023 State New E of Mass Rivals. If Clayton plays the way we saw this weekend, he’s surely a top 200 talent.
- Jack Janicki Jack Janicki 6'4" | SG White Bear Lake | 2023 State #277 Nation MN of D1 Minnesota. Just a shooter? No. More than that. Shown at a high level this weekend.
- Blaise Porter Blaise Porter 6'1" | PG New London | 2023 State #298 Nation IA of Iowa Barnstormers. Porter is Iowa’s top guard.
- Tommy Humphries Tommy Humphries 6'5" | SF Totino-Grace | 2023 State #283 Nation MN of D1 Minnesota. Love how consistent he was in all ways, reminds me of JOJ consistency last year.
- Jayden Ndjigue Jayden Ndjigue 6'4" | CG Rivers School | 2023 State New E of Mass Rivals. Good size, versatile, athletic, plays so hard. Top 250 talent for sure to me.
- CJ O’Hara CJ O’Hara 6'4" | SF Park Center | 2023 State #285 Nation MN of Gain Elite. Forwards could not guard him all weekend. Minnesota/South Dakota/Iowa talent couldn’t contain.
- Isaac Bruns Isaac Bruns 6'4" | SG Dakota Valley | 2023 State SD of South Dakota Attack. Special feel and always produces.
- Max Shikenjanski Max Shikenjanski 6'2" | PG Stillwater | 2023 State #288 Nation MN of Minnesota Fury. Clutch, again. Best passer, again. Led his team to wins, again.
- Nasir Whitlock Nasir Whitlock 6'2" | PG Delasalle | 2023 State MN of Gain Elite. Went head to head with top guards from WOTN and Barnstormers, and won.
- Xavier Nesbitt Xavier Nesbitt 5'10" | PG University Of Chicago Laboratory Schools | 2023 State IL of Mac Irvin Fire. Was impressed by Xavier in the games I saw.
- Ta’quan Williams Ta’quan Williams 6'0" | PG Brimmer and May | 2023 State New E of Mass Rivals. Attacking guard that played really well both ways.
- Matthew Bothun Matthew Bothun 6'9" | PF St. Francis | 2023 State MN of Minnesota Fury. Stretch four that is the modern day four man.
- Caden Kirkman Caden Kirkman 6'8" | PF Wilton | 2023 State IA of Iowa Barnstormers. Consistent low post scoring player that is a double-double threat.
