[player_tooltip player_id='1547230' first='Hudson' last='Rietschel'] (2027) |5'10 G|   "He is an 8th grader that might get some varsity playing time. He can really shoot the ball and has a high basketball IQ, he will need to adjust to the speed and physical play at the Varsity Level."   [player_tooltip player_id='1547231' first='Myles' last='Froehlich'] (2026) |5'8 G|   "He is a 9th grader who had a great summer, he is undersized but understands the game and made big play after big play all summer."   Riley Johnson (2023) |6'1 G|   "He is very athletic and when he plays under control he will be a nice contributor."    [player_tooltip player_id='1547252' first='Keelan' last='Monson'] (2025) |6'4 F|   "He is a 6'4 post who also had a great summer, he's a hard worker and has improved his finishing and shot out to 15 feet."   Devin Wolf (2024) |5'10 G|   "A hard worker who knows the game and understands roles."   Sam Nelson (2025) |6'2 G/F|   "He has only been playing basketball for 2 years but has really improved, should have a nice year on JH and might push for some varsity time by the end of the season."   Andrew Schenck (2024) |6'0 G|   "He is a nice athlete that can guard anyone 1-5."   Trey Husar (2025) |6'3 G/F|   "He is a 6'3 sophomore who understands the game and will only improve."   Michael Hoppe (2025) |6'0 G|   "A great athlete, with a great build. Plays hard all the time."   Q & A with coach Bryce Laxdal   PHD: What are a few highlights from the summer?   Coach Laxdal: "Our best camp was in Carrington we went 2-1 only loss was to Del Lacs / Burlington in OT"   "As a coach, it was great to have 10-12 guys show up all summer long and really improve both in the weight room and on the court."   PHD: What did you do as a program to get better as a team/improve individual players?   Coach Laxdal: "Lifting and open gym 3 days a week. A JV league with Oak Grove and Kindred for our younger players."   PHD: How did you improve as a team over the summer?   Coach Laxdal: "We were so young, we graduated 8 seniors and only Landon has any returning varsity experience. The 5 days of team camps really helped out young guys get used to the speed and physicality of Varsity ball, we had some wide-eyed boys after the first MSUM camp. By the end of the summer, we really grew a lot, we will be young and undersized."   PHD: Who are a few young players to keep an eye on this winter?   "[player_tooltip player_id='1145107' first='Landon' last='Moser'] is poised for a break-out season, even with extra defenders sent his way."    PHD: What seniors should we look out for this winter?   "We only have 2 seniors, [player_tooltip player_id='1547222' first='Isaac' last='Johnson'] and Riley Johnson."   PHD: What will the Jaguars be known for in the coming season?   "We will be pretty undersized but we will play hard and have a nice young group of guys that really get the game, could be a scary match-up come postseason."
