Here are the ten (not in order)
CJ Armstrong of Richfield (6’2 PG). Armstrong is among the elite scorers in the state. Had a big sophomore year.
Jaleel Donley Jaleel Donley 6'1" | PG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State MN of Benilde-St. Margaret’s (6’3 PG). With the potential to keep growing with guard skill and explosiveness Donley has a ton of potential.
Nolan Groves Nolan Groves 6'4" | CG Orono | 2025 State #259 Nation MN of Orono (6’3 PG). A guy I look at who could be one of the top shooters in his grade but the ball skill to be versatile.
Abu Keita Abu Keita 6'5" | SF Benilde-St.Margaret's | 2025 State MN of Benilde-St. Margaret’s (6’4 SF). Took a nice step on defense this year, reminds me somewhat of Cj O’Hara in physical look and game.
Chase Thompson Chase Thompson 6'8" | PF Alexandria | 2025 State #216 Nation MN of Alexandria (6’7 SF). A confident, lights out shooter that surely could keep growing and be the modern day stretch four. Helped his team to state.
Tyler Wagner Tyler Wagner 6'6" | SF Totino Grace | 2025 State #366 Nation MN of Totino-Grace (6’4 SF). Double figure averaging scorer on a state championship team, reminds me somewhat of Cade Hoskins who went to Dartmouth.
Azayah Washington Azayah Washington 6'2" | PG St. Cloud Apollo | 2025 State MN of St. Cloud Apollo (6’3 PG). Had some massive, monster scoring games for a team that had a rough year. Good size and will defend. Has potential to be very good and I think he could blow up this spring/summer.
Chace Watley of Totino-Grace (6’0 PG). Watley has the potential as a hard attacking guard who limits mistakes and playmakes, plus can pressure the basketball.
Jalen Wilson Jalen Wilson 6'8" | PF Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State #230 Nation MN of Benilde-St. Margaret’s (6’7 PF). The most productive junior on a good team, Wilson has the frame of a modern skilled wing but the production in the post in a lot of ways, but also comfortable as a face-up four.
Brady Wooley Brady Wooley 6'9" | C Orono | 2025 State #187 Nation MN of Orono (6’9 C). When it comes to ceilings Brady may have the biggest one because he is 6-foot-9 and runs well, has good body control and a good touch.
