Kale Knudson Kale Knudson 6'0" | CG Mobridge-Pollock | 2027 State SD -Has improved his overall game and has made himself stronger over this past season. Anticipating big things from Kale this AAU season.
Kamden Keszler Kamden Keszler 6'2" | SG Castlewood | 2027 State SD – Has unbelievable athleticism and is very versatile on the court. Kam can play many positions and is difficult to guard, which helps his team a lot.

Korbin Stark Korbin Stark 5'8" | CG Faulkton Area | 2027 State SD – Very high basketball IQ. Korbin is really quick and contributes on both ends of the court. Nice addition to the Thunder program.
Mitchell Hofer Mitchell Hofer 6'2" | PF Sioux Falls Christian | 2027 State SD – Is a shooter with range. Very smart and loves success on and off the court. One of the top tennis players in the state.

Titus Kippley Titus Kippley 6'1" | PF Leola/Frederick | 2027 State SD – One of the hardest workers on the court. Loves to rebound and play defense. Helps his team around the basket and is getting better each day.
Jakob Steen Jakob Steen 5'9" | SF Clark/Willow Lake | 2027 State SD – Does the little things for his team. Jakob will outwork anyone for the ball. Quick jumper and always around the loose ball. Good inside/outside game.
Kelynn Mount Kelynn Mount 6'5" | PF Aberdeen Roncalli | 2027 SD – Brings size to his team and jumps extremely well. Will help his team with his inside game. Contributes on both ends of the court.
