Trey Mix – 6’1″ PG (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Mix was constantly making plays from the point guard spot. He attacks with quickness off the dribble to set up his teammates and also score in the lane and at the rim. He can contort himself in the air to make difficult finishes. A great leaper that skies and hangs in the air. Has a really nice handle on the ball, complimenting his quickness and athletic ability.
Sam Banwart – 6’3″ G/F (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Banwart is the definition of the term “slasher”. You can find him knifing through the defense to finish in the lane and at the hoop. Loves to attack the middle and heart of the defense. Has a floater to his offensive arsenal as well. Showed a nice ability to euro and create space for himself in the lane.
Remmer Buss Remmer Buss 6'5" | PF Chanhassen | 2025 MN – 6’5″ F (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Remmer is a long 6’5” forward type. Active without the ball in his hands, looking to find open spots in the defense. A solid passer that finds his teammates. Not overly physical but he’ll attack the ball off the rim for boards.
John Schmidt John Schmidt 6'5" | SF Chanhassen | 2025 State MN – 6’4″ Wing/F (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Major length, movement, and athleticism. Runs the floor and can handle the ball in transition. Good defensive feet at 6’4”. Was finishing at the hoop often. Many times uncontested in transition. Made some flashy finishes, using his length to his advantage. Gets to the hoop quickly in transition and also off-the-dribble as a straight-line slasher.
Luke Knudson – 6’0 PG/SG 2025 – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Luke has a smooth and accurate game from three. Hit was hitting a bunch of threes, throughout the event. Also, has a skilled handle on the ball and can easily relieve pressure. Can create his own three-point opportunities. Some solid quickness as well. Might be an under-the-radar guy that can stroke it from deep and could also play the point.
Griffen Burgess – 6’4″ G/Wing (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Burgess is a guy that is always looking to make a play offensively. Can score in multiple ways and showed-off a steady mid-range game. He’ll catch and attack his defender immediately. Keeps the ball moving, even with his dribble-drive. The opposite of a ball-stopper. Will come off a down-screen and cleanly pull and knockdown shots.
Nate Chavez – 6’4″ F (2025) –
MN Crossfire
2025 Jorgenson – Versatility is through the roof with Chavez. Chavez is a long and skilled prospect that brings it. Brings an energy and playmaker mentality to his team. Doesn’t need to dominate the ball to make an offensive impact. Can step out and shoot the wing-three. Glides on the court and moves well. A great transition player that can make an assist and finish at the hoop off the glass. Runs the floor hard and with a purpose. A highly versatile defender that gets in a stance on the perimeter and will contest and block shots and play with the bigs in the lane. Chavez is highly disruptive all over that court and is continuously making impact plays. Really like Chavez’s game and how he impacts a game in all facets.
Luke Kans – 6’0” G (2025) – MN Crossfire 2025 Jorgenson – Kans is another sniper from three that shot the ball well from the action I saw. Handles the ball well and plays defense with focus and intensity.
Alexander Wetterlin – 6’4″ Wing 2025 – The Next Level Basketball Academy 2025 – Really like this prospect out of North Dakota. Has a well-rounded game as a long guard/wing. Has a solid handle on the ball and can hit the three. He’s a guy that was a little too unselfish in my eyes, because he has the ability to takeover as a scorer.
Mag-audries Cummings – 5’10” G (2025) – The Next Level Basketball Academy 2025 – Cummings brought a speed and quickness element to the game that really stood-out. He was a swarming defender and brought a ton of ball-pressure. He knew he was quicker than everyone else and he played with that in mind.
Mason Gruss – 6’1” G (2025) – Wisconsin Blaze 2025 Black – Gruss is a long-armed guard that is constantly on the move and bringing energy. Defends all over the court and will come off of his matchup to help defensively and disrupt the offense.
Kargie Cooper – 6’2” G/Wing (2026) – Wisconsin Blaze 2025 Black – A 2026 playing with a 2025 team, Cooper brings athleticism and positional length. A good mover on the court and is a defensive-minded prospect. Looks to have a promising future with his physical and athletic traits.
Azari White – 6’2” G (2025) – Pride Roc 2025 Gold – White is an athletic 6’2” guard prospect. He was the guy that stood-out for Pride Roc 2025. A good leaper that can get off the ground quickly. Attacked baseline and finished off the glass.
Ian Polonowski – 6’5” F (2025) – Full Package 2025 Black – Polonowski stands-out for his team with his size, length, and skill. He liked to square himself up to the hoop and either straight-line attack or shoot the ball. Used a jab-step often to get his defender on their heels.
Nyun Dut Nyun Dut 6'4" | SG O'Gorman | 2025 State SD – 6’1 G (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – Fluid, athletic, and pure explosion. Dut brought an aggressive mindset to be a playmaker. He was really impressive with his getting to the hoop and finishing against Full Package 2025 Black. A long 6’1” prospect that can get up and dunk the ball. Wasn’t just an attacker off-the-dribble because he was also a capable outside shooter that needed to be guarded and contested from three. Not a guy you want to me matched-up with because he’s constantly challenging the defense.
Benson Kieffer Benson Kieffer 5'10" | PG Rapid City Christian | 2025 State SD – 5’10” PG (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – A quick point guard that has some explosive traits to him. Has the ball on a string. Had the ability to come off a pick and pull up. Really liked his mentality to be a scorer and take it at the defense.
Kaden Dejager – 6’2” G (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – Dejager is smooth and explosive with the ball. From the small amount of action I saw from his team, I thought he rebounded the ball well and knew where to be to give himself a chance to board the ball. He can score in a variety of ways and I appreciated his ability to get the ball up overtop the defense to score.
Marshall Smythe Marshall Smythe 6'2" | PG Tea Area | 2025 State SD – 6’0” G (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – Smythe plays fast on both ends. Has one speed and it’s full-go. An excellent on-ball pressure defender and moves his feet quickly.
Aiden Costain – 6’5” PF/C (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – Aiden was the interior toughness and motor of the 2025 White squad. He’s a physical guy that usually wins his battles. He runs and jumps well too. Rebounded the ball well.
Nick Hanson Nick Hanson 6'8" | PF Viborg-Hurley | 2025 State SD – 6’7” PF/C (2025) – Sanford Sports Academy 2025 White – I could be wrong on this, but my first inclination is that he’s grown some. Looks bigger and taller than I had remembered. A strong build and he rebounded well. Brought some physicality and wasn’t going to let anyone bully him around. Sprints the floor surprisingly fast, given his size. He also finished well at the hoop and got some easy baskets.
