Big State Notes
Washburn vs Eastview means both Colorado State commits in Minnesota – Kyle Jorgensen Kyle Jorgensen 6'9" | C Minneapolis Washburn | 2024 State #308 Nation MN and Jonathan Mekonnen Jonathan Mekonnen 6'8" | PF Eastview | 2024 State #201 Nation MN – will be playing against one another. Great storyline before both go play for Niko Medved a year from now
Orono vs Eden Prairie will put some of the best junior guards on the floor ( Max Lorenson Max Lorenson 6'2" | SG Eden Prairie | 2025 State MN , JJ Sullivan and Nolan Groves Nolan Groves 6'4" | CG Orono | 2025 State #259 Nation MN ) as well as the top freshman prospect in Minnesota ( Ty Schlagel Ty Schlagel 6'5" | SF Cretin-Derham Hall | 2027 State MN ) and the top junior prospect in the state ( Brady Wooley Brady Wooley 6'9" | C Orono | 2025 State #187 Nation MN ).
Tonka against Osseo will have a load of guards on the floor. Demari Larkins and Andy Stefonowicz Andy Stefonowicz 6'2" | PG Minnetonka | 2024 State MN are the main names but there are several.
South vs Hopkins is a pair of preseason top ten teams: the Cougars are more of a senior dominated club whereas Hopkins is experienced when it comes to their top talent, but still young.
BSM and Park Center is the main event. Jaleel Donley Jaleel Donley 6'1" | PG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State MN versus Casmir Chavis Casmir Chavis 6'2" | PG Park Center | 2024 State #170 Nation MN , Chiang Ring Chiang Ring 6'8" | C Park Center | 2024 State #276 Nation MN against Jalen Wilson Jalen Wilson 6'8" | PF Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State #230 Nation MN , will be fun match-ups.
