Elijah Barrett Elijah Barrett 6'4" | PF Tartan | 2024 State MN of Tartan (6’4 PF). Rebounding wise pound for pound and likely in number, Elijah ranked with the best. The Tartan leading scorer from last year played as hard as anybody on both ends of the floor and like we said, defensive rebounded in bulk. Barrett also had several offensive rebounds for completions as he knew that was about the only way he was going to get an offensive touch on the team he was on. Eye opening weekend and a taste of things to come I think as I believe Tartan has a nice season in front of them.
Dominic Fairbanks Dominic Fairbanks 5'10" | PG Cass Lake-Bena | 2024 State MN of Cass Lake-Bena (5’10 PG). Dominic might mix his offense with his distribution as well as anybody. When his pull-up and three point jumper are on he can be a game changer and Dominic will go at teams with his own attack. But his recognition of when to be that scorer, and when to be that distributor for his team ranks with the best as Dominic did a great job pushing his team in transition, and making sure the wings on his team were catching to shoot in comfort.
Isaiah Johnson Isaiah Johnson 6'7" | SF Totino-Grace | 2024 State #135 Nation MN of Totino-Grace (6’7 Forward). Johnson ran the floor for high percentage finishes the entire weekend. He was also excellent at getting his feet to the right spot, catching, and attacking opponents from the wing or high post with regularity. Strong finisher, solid off the bounce, high percentage numbers going at the cup. Thought he shot the ball well using the short jumper all weekend. Great frame to go to a high major program with. UST (HC), Northern Iowa, Virginia Tech (HC), Butler, Drake (HC), Nebraska (HC), Northwestern, Colorado State, Loyola Chicago, and Illinois State have all offered and were watching.
Riley Johnson Riley Johnson 6'4" | SG Chanhassen | 2025 State MN of Chanhassen (6’3 Shooting Guard). Riley continually proves that he is one of the most explosive shooters in Minnesota. He had a pair of 20+ games at the Camp knocking down jumpers as Riley caught a rhythm and then could not be slowed down as he would catch and hit quickly with any space. He was a special shooter for the Storm this past winter, he’s been a special shooter for the Titans this 16u season, and we saw it again at the camp.
Jack Robison Jack Robison 6'7" | SF Lakeville North | 2024 State #158 Nation MN of Lakeville North (6’7 Wing). Jack was there for one day but it was an impressive showing. Robison’s ability to pass the ball and score efficiently were the two things that really grabbed me. Jack handled some and made the right pass, he moved the ball out of the post, and he used the dribble attack to create. Robison didn’t take a big number of shots but scored on par with other top players because the shots he took were high percentage and completed. Robison rebounds well as a big wing and his decision making continues to be a strength. Does so many different things.
Dylan Zimmerman Dylan Zimmerman 6'5" | SF Moorhead | 2024 State MN of Moorhead (6’5 Forward). Another player that ranked with the hardest workers in the event was the top Spud for next year, Dylan Zimmerman Dylan Zimmerman 6'5" | SF Moorhead | 2024 State MN . Dylan’s attacking of the rim to score off the bounce and his movement off the basketball leading to active baskets led his team in most games. Zimmerman moves well at his size and has a decent jumper to go with all of the activity he provides his team. Impressed with his work rate.
