Logan Conklin Logan Conklin 6'5" | SF Minot | 2024 ND (2024) |6’5 F| ECI 2024 Prospects
WHY? He is a star athlete that runs like a deer and dunks like he is coming off a trampoline. On Saturday, Conklin had a couple of dunks where his head looked to be level with the rim. He is tough on D and will outwork you on the glass. Conklin is a blue-collar worker and a standout athlete. College coaches should take a serious look.
Matthew Sem Matthew Sem 6'1" | SG Fargo North | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’1 G| ECI 2025 Prospects
WHY? He played really unselfish. Sem got the ball across half court, swung the rock, attacked against momentum, and drew 2 or more defenders. Matthew made the right reads on kick outs and dump downs to the post. He hit several big threes this weekend and finished at the rim when attacking downhill.
Aric Winczewski Aric Winczewski 6'2" | CG Minot | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’1 G| ECI 2025 Prospects
WHY? The Minot kid took multiple charges on the weekend, defended other teams’ lead guards, hit from deep, got downhill, and attacked gaps when teams were slow to close out. Aric finished through contact at the rim and he had a ton of AND1 finishes this weekend.
Carter Evanson Carter Evanson 6'2" | SG Horace | 2026 State ND (2026) |5’11 G| ECI 2026 Prospects
WHY? They call him “Easy Money” because he cashes in from deep on the regular. Carter spaces the floor and he always catches ready to shoot. He will drill it from deep and he needs little time to get his money shot off. He is one of the top shooters in the 2026 class. Evanson will also create for others. This young Hawk has a bright future.
Chris Benning Chris Benning 5'10" | SG St. Mary's | 2026 State ND (2026) |5’10 G| ECI 2026 Prospects
WHY? He was a dude all weekend. Benning might not be the biggest kid on the court but he is super skilled. Chris is crafty/smart/clever. He knows how to create separation and he makes the game look easy. Chris has excellent ball skills and he is a natural scorer. This Saint is a special player!
Collin Williams Collin Williams 6'4" | PF Fargo Davies | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’3 F| ECI 2026 Prospects
WHY? He shot a high percentage at LIVE and was a monster on the boards. His instincts and rebounding ability stood out. Collin is a tough kid that is not afraid to out-hustle you. He and the ECI Prospects went 4-0 at Live. Williams is a workhorse!
Drew Kempel Drew Kempel 6'4" | PG Bismarck Century | 2025 State ND (2025) |6’4 PG| ND Phenom 2025
WHY? Strong and tough. He is a PG but can score on the block. Drew is a mismatch problem when he gets around the rim. I like his demeanor and court vision. He makes his teammates better and has a ton of potential on the defensive side of the ball. Great things are ahead for Mr. Kempel.
Bennett Larson Bennett Larson 6'7" | C Stanley | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’7 PF| ND Phenom 2026
WHY? He had a great weekend. Larson showed how physical and tough he can be. Larson is a load to handle in the paint and he never backs down. This Miner plays fearless and physical. He gets after the boards and he never slows down. There is a reason that Larson is ranked #1 in his class. His motor never stops, his arms are long, and he works hard on both ends of the floor. I like his attitude and effort. Larson is a man-child!
Chris Loggins Chris Loggins 6'4" | SF Minot | 2026 ND (2026) |6’4 F| ND Phenom 2026
WHY? He is back in North Dakota and Loggins has been absolutely fantastic. Chris has good size and he is extra athletic. He can get up and SLAM in impressive fashion. Loggins is only a freshman but he is a rim-rocking dunker. He runs the floor well and can finish through traffic. College coaches will want to get eyes on this kid!
Nyun Dut Nyun Dut 6'4" | SG O'Gorman | 2025 State SD (2025) |6’1 G| Sanford Sports White 2025 White
WHY? He gad amazing defense this weekend at Live. He set the energy for this SSA squad. Nyun had multiple steals and he was very crafty around the rim. Dut knocked down 3-pointers consistently. He Scored 20+ per game.
Benson Kieffer Benson Kieffer 5'10" | PG Rapid City Christian | 2025 State SD (2025) |5’10 G| Sanford Sports White 2025 White
WHY? His quickness is elite. Kieffer’s mid-range and outside shooting was clutch for SSA. His great passing led to a lot of other guys having great games. On defense, he was a pest. Benson got big-time steals, and even pinned a shot against the backboard on Sunday! He’s only 5’10! Kieffer has had a fantastic start to the AAU season.
Nick Hanson Nick Hanson 6'8" | PF Viborg-Hurley | 2025 State SD (2025) |6’7 PF| Sanford Sports 2025 White
WHY? All of his production came from the paint. Nick cleaned up on the offensive glass. He did a great job running the court and sealing in the post. He averaged close to 25 ppg 15 rpg. Hanson had a fantastic weekend and he continues to be a stock riser.
Tyson Stevenson Tyson Stevenson 6'2" | SG Hamlin | 2024 State SD (2024) |6’2 G| Sanford Sports 2024 White
WHY? He was very productive on the offensive side of the ball. Tyson is a sharpshooter with a magnificent pull-up game. He is smooth and accurate. Stevenson is deadly from deep and excellent from mid-range. Tyson is a better athlete than I realized. I am excited to see him play again this weekend in Sioux Falls.
George Jensen George Jensen 6'6" | SF De Smet | 2024 State SD (2024) |6’6 F| Sanford Sports 2024 White
WHY? He is a gifted and long athlete. Jensen defended well at Live. He also rebounded well. George plays his own game, he can lock in and make impact plays. George posted up and produced around the basket. He has great patience in the paint.
