The Minnesota HS Season Preview: Top 10 Impact Transfers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What transfers will make the biggest impact this high school basketball season? Here is our top ten list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ten. [player_tooltip player_id='1221142' first='Jalen' last='Hayes'] to Richfield. The Spartans have an all around talent that can play several spots and Hayes made a huge impact just in the fall league doing some of everything. They could be a top ten team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nine. [player_tooltip player_id='1579910' first='Noah' last='Sundquist'] to Cherry. Cherry lost a few players to graduation but the 18 points a game of Sundquist added to all the Asumas on the roster as well as some other returning players, it makes Cherry a very deep team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eight. [player_tooltip player_id='1226375' first='JT' last='Thornton'] to Burnsville. The Blaze now have [player_tooltip player_id='962223' first='Khalif' last='Bettis'] who is a top player in the state, a seven footer, an all league honored PG, and Thornton who is a do everything versatile player who I think will have a huge year. They could be good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven. [player_tooltip player_id='1476739' first='Caleb' last='Bancroft'] to Stewartville. Stewartville getting Caleb gives them a low post option that can get 18 &amp; 10 to go with all of the guard talent that they have. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six. [player_tooltip player_id='1284106' first='Chiang' last='Ring'] to Park Center. The Pirates added the best shot blocker and the highest percentage finisher in the state to their already very talented roster. People won't be scoring on them near the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Five, Demari Larkins to Osseo. Osseo's guard group pairing with scholarship level wings is going to make them very tough. Larkins will team with two other guys that can really pressure the ball and push the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Four. [player_tooltip player_id='1284143' first='Isaiah' last='Johnson']-Arigu to Totino-Grace. The Eagles were going to be a deep team and now with Isaiah they are a very talented, very long, very deep skilled team. Isaiah grabbed five D1 offers this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three. [player_tooltip player_id='1284157' first='Jerome' last='Williams Jr'] to Minnehaha Academy. Williams and [player_tooltip player_id='1499627' first='Lorenzo' last='Levy'] immediately gave the Redhawks a pair of 20 point per game scorers and made them AA title contenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two. [player_tooltip player_id='962199' first='CJ' last='O'Hara'] of Park Center. O'Hara will likely make the top five for Mr. Basketball this year because he will physically overwhelm people on a regular basis. Think Joe Coleman at Hopkins back in the day only stronger and more aggressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One. [player_tooltip player_id='1287442' first='Kole' last='Hanson'] to Holy Family. Hanson is number one because Holy Family had all the pieces to be a title contender, except a ball handler. With Hanson there they not only have a ball handler, they have one of the best ball handlers and creators in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
