#PHStompingGrounds ND 15U Watchlist

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit is heading to Sioux Falls (Sanford Pentagon)! This is going to be a great event as all the games will be taking place in the same facility. There is a nice group of talent coming to this tournament. There is some high-level talent in the 15U division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For this Watchlist article, we are sp[program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last='']fically looking at freshmen from North Dakota.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"small"} --> <p class="has-small-font-size"><span style="text-decoration: underline">See below comments on 13 players to watch at Stomping Grounds.</span></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1944058,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/stompinggrounds-crop-1036x680-1683121012.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/stompinggrounds-crop-1036x680-1683121012.jpg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-1944058" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">ND 15U Player Watchlist</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">[program_tooltip program_id='2139207' first='Bears' last='Tail Basketball'] 15U 3SGB</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1422852' first='Rylee' last='Bears Tail'] (2026) |6'3 G| Mandan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He led the 15U 3SGB Gold division in assists last weekend. Rylee was also productive in rebounding, scoring, and forcing turnovers. Rylee is always looking for his teammates. He is a great creator, facilitator, and playmaker. His skill level is impressive and advanced for his age. I am interested in seeing how he shoots the ball from beyond the arc. He and Brylee will be two of the top playmakers &amp; creators at Stomping Grounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>B[player_tooltip player_id='1422852' first='Rylee' last='Bears Tail'] (2026) |6'3 G| Mandan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> Last weekend, Brylee was a stat stuffer in the 15U 3SGB Gold division. He was top 10 in assists, rebounding, and steals. Brylee makes the game look easy and just like his brother, he is amazingly skilled. Brylee has a high IQ and he plays with great instincts. He is super smooth with the ball. I am looking forward to seeing Brylee play against [program_tooltip program_id='2228190' first='Team' last='Warwick']. Both squads will have high-end talent on the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1531062' first='Jonathan' last='Roubideaux, Jr.'] (2026) |6'6 PF| Bismarck Legacy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> The BIG Saber has also been productive in filling the stat sheet when playing 15U 3SGB. Jonathan has been in the 10 in steals, rebounds, and blocks. He looks and is built like a low post but Roubideaux plays more like a 3/4. He is a matchup problem that can hit triples and slash for scores. Jonathan spaces the floor and pulls opposing BIGS out of the paint, this allows his teammates to slash &amp; create much more easily. Robideaux is high on my watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">[program_tooltip program_id='2139207' first='Bears' last='Tail Basketball'] 15U Delorme</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632695' first='Melvin' last='Sampson'] (2026) |5'10 G| Fargo South</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He can play tough defense and create turnovers. Recently, Sampson's assist numbers have been improving. He has plenty of potential as a creator. At the same time, his Bears Tail team needs him to look for more scoring opportunities. Sampson is another intriguing athlete. I am interested to see how skilled he is with the ball. It is going to be a fun weekend!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632638' first='Israel' last='Bauer'] (2026) |5'11 G| Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> His role has recently expanded and I am interested to see how productive he is at Stomping Grounds. He flys around on defense and this leads to making plays. Israel has stood out on defense. Bauer is a very fast player that can get up and down the court in a hurry. I am interested to see what type of offensive player Bauer is.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1894932' first='Jonte' last='Delorme'] (2026) |5'10 G| Four Winds-Minnewaukan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He has shot it well for this Bears Tail team. Jonte is a major threat from beyond the arc and he changes the game with his 3-point shot. Delorme is a lefty with range. He can also get after it on the defensive end. He comes from 4Winds, so you know this kid is a baller!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">[program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 2026 Selects Black</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1510914' first='Camden' last='Kraemer'] (2026) |5'7 G| Bismarck Century</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He is an undersized guard but has shown to be a twitchy and savvy offensive weapon. Cam has terrific handles and he can shoot the peach at a high rate. Kraemer is a difference-maker that can take care of the ball and find open teammates for scores. So far this AAU season, Cam has looked like a true-PG and a primary guard. He has the ball in his hands a ton, is crafty when slashing downhill, and has been the best shooter for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Black squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1415638' first='Owen' last='Scoville'] (2026) |5'11 G| West Fargo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He is a strong and athletic 2 guard. Scoville is a southpaw that gets to his left-hand finish extremely well and he has been knocking down the 3-pointers at a good rate. Overall, Owen is an athletic slasher with improved shooting. I am excited to see how the lefty frosh shoots the ball this weekend. Scoville is a productive rebounder and he is no stranger to drawing a tough defensive assignment. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1418034' first='Joey' last='Kraljic'] (2026) |6'1 G| Bismarck Century</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He is a workhorse! Joey plays bigger than his 6'1" height and he can guard positions 1-5. Kraljic is a relentless rebounder and he has been smart with the ball in his hands. He is always competing and Kraljic is not afraid to do the dirty work. Joey gets his team paint touches and his passing is on display with his high IQ. Krajalic is a valued player on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">[program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] 2026 Selects Gold</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1418033' first='Grant' last='Bieber'] (2026) |6'1 G| Bismarck</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> I caught glimpses of him looking like a dude at Prep Hoops Live. This young Demon has a reputation for being a scorer. Grant has been shooting the ball pretty well for [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] Gold but is only going to continue to get better. Bieber is at his best in transition and when he can get to the rim, he can be very hard to guard. Bieber has a quick trigger and he can score in bunches. [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] will need those points in some of the tough matchups down in Sioux Falls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1338493' first='Aiden' last='Samek'] (2026) |5'9 G| West Fargo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> Samek can be a dawg on the offensive end and shoot the lights out. He has been slowed down a little as of late with an ankle injury but he has continued to still shoot the ball well. [program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] is hoping that Aiden is heeled up and back to 100% this weekend at Stomping Grounds. I am excited to see the young Packer show up and show out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1559968' first='RaeShaun' last='Earl'] (2026) |5'11 G| Hankinson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> RaeShaun continued to show his athletic ability on the defensive end of the floor and on the boards at PH Live. Earl continues to improve and feels more comfortable on the offensive end. He has the ability to take over a game on both sides of the floor. The young Pirate is an exciting player on the hardwood and a prospect to keep track of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">3ND 2025</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1355919' first='Bennett' last='Larson'] (2026) |6'7 PF| Beulah</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><em>WHY?</em></span> He will be playing up an age division this weekend. Larson was a monster and beast last weekend at Prep Hoops Live with [program_tooltip program_id='2075741' first='ND' last='Phenom']. Bennett is the #1 ranked prospect in the 2026 class from ND. I am interested to see how the BIG kid will play against 2025 players. The thing I love about Larson is the fact that he plays crazy-hard all the time and he never backs down from anyone. He plays FEARLESS! If you like physical BIGs, watch Larson this weekend! I guarantee you will be impressed with his motor and NRG.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1441779,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/04/PlayerWatchlistNDSD.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/04/PlayerWatchlistNDSD.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1441779" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
