After the AAU Coach, the father of the player, and the player himself corrected me on twitter I am now aware that number one from Colorado Collective is not the player listed on the roster, he is in fact Tyson Monck Tyson Monck 6'2" | SG Vista Ridge | 2023 State CO , a fired up guard with a gorgeous shooting release and the willingness to go Dennis Rodman for a loose ball. Monck scored 15 a game last year at Vista Ridge High School and he grabbed seven boards a contest which does not surprise me, the young man plays with a ton of effort. He’s the type of competitor that I think many coaches would love.
As for potential, Adien Peck has a ton of it it seems. The Colorado Collective 6’7 wing/forward from Rock Canyon has some stretch four to him and some skilled wing to him. Surely the look of a prospect who has a lot of growth to come in his future, but he was highly productive yesterday as his team beat Lightning Dunham.
Carson Koepnick Carson Koepnick 6'2" | SG West Salem | 2023 State WI from West Salem High School led Coulee Country to a double overtime win and this constant effort rim running wing had 30 points making 12 of 17 shooting.
Coulee Country teammate Kodi Miller scored 25 and his mix of three point shooting and transition push was outstanding.
Leroy Barnes Leroy Barnes 6'1" | PG Minnehaha | 2023 State MN of Minnehaha Academy and Real Phenom really found a spot in my hoops heart with his effort on the glass and his aggressive attack. Had 19 points and 11 rebounds last night.
Michael Kirchner Michael Kirchner 6'0" | PG St. Thomas Academy | 2023 State MN is a MIAC/NAIA guy who I think should be watched. His pull-up touch, touch on the move, and three point touch are eye opening. Had some clutch makes for Real Phenom scoring 16 points. He is from St. Thomas Academy.
Logan Tuckner Logan Tuckner 6'4" | SG Rochester John Marshall | 2023 State MN , may we welcome you into the Club! The 40% Club! A club for the elite shooters that shoot regularly at a 40 percent clip at the arc. In the games I have looked at this year Logan is a member (from Minnesota Lightning and Rochester JM). Had 18 in a win over the Barnstomers.
Aeron Stevens Aeron Stevens 6'7" | PF Plainview-Eligin-Millville | 2023 State MN of the Minnesota Lightning can shoot it from the arc, he has back to the basket game, he moves well and scores on the move, and yes, we are seeing that Stevens can flush on you with a willing excitement.
Will Kutzler Will Kutzler 6'7" | PF Lakeville North | 2023 State MN is again making us take notice. The 6’7 forward continues to shoot it at a high level at the arc and on the move. Another Lakeville North guy, another WOTN guy, he hit four threes against EG10.
Baiden Bean Baiden Bean 6'1" | PG Farmington | 2023 State MN ’s pop out of a separation move ranks with the best. He’s a 6’2 guard from Farmington and WOTN and the Iowa Barnstormers could not move their feet with him yesterday so Bean scored 17 points and dished out five assists.
