Continue ReadingPHD is back for another ECI Season Recap! We are looking at Dan Glasser’s squad, 15U Selects Gold. This group finished the year with a 24-12 record. It was incredible having them compete on the PH Circuit on a regular basis. They played unselfish basketball and they outworked opposing teams. 15U Gold came together as a team and they had a fantastic AAU season. Let’s hope they can build from that great experience and carry that momentum into the high school season. PHD is thrilled to watch these ballers in the winter and then see them back on the Circuit in the spring.
Best of luck in the high school season!

Player Comments from Dan Glasser
Grant Bieber Grant Bieber 6'2" | SG Bismarck | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’1 G| Bismarck
“He is an outstanding shooter. When he is aggressive and gets to the rim, that is when he’s at his best. He is very difficult to guard then. With other teams knowing his ability to knock it down from deep, he really opened up gaps that made it possible for his teammates to get to the rim.“
Raeshaun Earl Raeshaun Earl 5'11" | SG Hankinson | 2026 State ND (2026) |5’11 G| Hankinson
“Very athletic and doesn’t have a single weakness. Has the ability to do it all. When he crashes the boards, he really becomes a complete player. He can also play many positions on the court and can fill any team’s weaknesses.“
Haakon Seymour Haakon Seymour 6'1" | SF West Fargo | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’1 SF| West Fargo
“A player that can play all 5 positions and can do it all on offense. He can penetrate, pass, shoot, and rebound. He defended a lot of post players throughout the year, but also stepped out on the perimeter and defended well.”
Carson Quam Carson Quam 6'0" | SF Shiloh Christian | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’0 SF| Shiloh Christian
“One of the hardest workers on the court. He will end up with every loose ball. He has the ability to change a game without putting points on the board.”
Aiden Samek Aiden Samek 5'9" | PG West Fargo | 2026 State ND (2026) |5’9 G| West Fargo
“He is a great point guard. Very strong and good at getting into the lane. When defenders are worried about him getting by them and they play off, he is a great shooter. A strong defender and almost impossible to get by him.“
Beckett Pfau Beckett Pfau 6'0" | SG West Fargo | 2026 State ND (2026) |5’10 G| West Fargo
“He really excelled on the offensive end in the last couple of tournaments. He pretty much was impossible to guard with his ability to get to the rim and finish. He also has the quickness on defense to jump the pass and convert it to any easy 2 on the other end.“
Brody Weigel Brody Weigel 6'0" | SG Bismarck Legacy | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’0 G| Legacy
“Unfortunately he broke his thumb at a football camp this summer and missed some tournaments. But, when he was there, he was a defensive wizard. He can also really shoot it from the outside.“
Kaiden Peterson Kaiden Peterson 6'3" | SG Horace | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’2 G| Horace
“He really became more aggressive as the year went on. His biggest asset is his shooting ability. When he hits a couple of shots in a row, he is the best on the floor.“
Jack Wheeldon Jack Wheeldon 6'9" | PF Fargo Davies | 2026 State ND (2026) |6’9 PF| Davies
“A good post player that has great feet. He can affect the game on both ends of the court. He really developed some great post moves on offense and was tough to guard on the block when he got the ball.“
