The 4AA Rundown
Transfers affect teams of course, they can lift them up or lift them down with their arrivals/departures. That said, rarely have I seen a section so affected by transfers like this group. First off, you have to take into account that this is not a deep section and the second half of this group is not very good right now (there may be a few more teams but I didn’t add in teams that only played some games last season). But this summer, before Levy and Williams went to Minnehaha Academy, we thought Concordia Academy – who would have had Levy on their roster with Aj Greene Aj Greene 6'1" | PG Concordia Academy | 2023 State MN and that would have been such a good combo – would have a chance to push Minnehaha Academy. However, the Redhawks added Levy to their roster when he transferred there along with All State Class AAAA talent Jerome Williams Jr Jerome Williams Jr 6'0" | PG Rock Creek Christian Academy | 2024 MD (getting Williams is massive because he is an elite playmaker in Minnesota). Meanwhile, another outside contender was St. Agnes but they lost two of their three best players to South St. Paul. So instead of having a nice group of Concordia Academy, St. Agnes and St. Croix Prep maybe making a push at the Hawks, the Hawks got two of the elite guards in the junior class while their top two contenders lost top players (a 20 ppg potential guy each). Redhawks are now a massive favorite in this section once again.
