- Nasir Whitlock Nasir Whitlock 6'2" | PG Delasalle | 2023 State MN of DeLaSalle (sr). The big favorite, Nasir has had some huge senior year moments, is averaging 28 a game, has his team at 18-4 and second in Class AAA at the moment.
- Patrick Bath Patrick Bath 6'9" | C Totino Grace | 2023 State MN of Totino-Grace (sr). Averaging 19 and 14 for the number one ranked Eagles. Bath has had an outstanding senior year.
- Isaiah Hagen Isaiah Hagen 6'3" | PG Orono | 2023 State MN of Orono (sr). Hagen is scoring 22 points a game for the 4th ranked team in Class AAA and is coming off a special game at Alexandria.
- Jalen Wilson Jalen Wilson 6'8" | PF Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State #230 Nation MN of Benidle-St. Margare’ts (soph). BSM is a balanced, young team ranked third in state and playing at a high level. Wilson’s 18 a game has him in that all state first team category.
- Grayson Grove Grayson Grove 6'9" | PF Alexandria Area | 2024 State #171 Nation MN of Alexandria (jr). Grove is scoring 23 points a game with 12 boards while keeping Alexandria in the top ten all season (14-4 this year).
- Cooper Drews Cooper Drews 6'4" | SF Princeton | 2023 State MN of Princeton (sr). Drews is climbing. He is averaging 25 points, 9 boards, 6 assists, and 3 steals a game for the top five Tigers.
- Taison Chatman Taison Chatman 6'4" | PG Totino Grace | 2023 State #35 Nation MN of Totino-Grace (sr). Taison is starting to turn it up with a couple recent eye catching performances as of late. Scoring a 11 a game and climbing, Taison has the talent to go on a special run after a slow start. Time to see if he can do it like he did last year!
- Tameron Ferguson Tameron Ferguson 6'2" | PG St. Cloud Tech | 2024 State MN of St. Cloud Tech (jr). Averaging 31 points a game for an 11-8 team that just beat Alexandria and is looking to go on a late season run just like they did last season. Coming off a huge win.
- Matthew Bothun Matthew Bothun 6'9" | PF St. Francis | 2023 State MN of St. Francis (sr). Averaging 27 and 10 for a St. Francis team that has been on a really nice push since the calendar hit 2023. They have won 11 games (11-10), I didn’t think they would hit double digits so a nice run.
- Will Underwood Will Underwood 6'0" | PG Mahtomedi | 2023 State MN of Mahtomedi (sr). Scoring 21 a game while leading the team in every other way he can, Will has Mahtomedi at 6th in state (16-3 record).
