<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the start of the week, PHD updated the 2026 North Dakota Prospect Rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the week we looked at many Stock Risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good news! We have <strong>10 </strong>more Stock Risers to talk about! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2338520,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/StockRisers-2026.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/StockRisers-2026.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-2338520" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632736' first='Gabe' last='Whipple'] |6'0 G| Kindred</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A JV starter for the talented Vikings. Whipple goes against All-State caliber talent every day in practice and that only makes him better. Gabe never backs down! He does a nice job on defense and Gabe has shot it well all season. Whipple's offensive skill set continues to expand. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1798697' first='Austin' last='Ohleen'] |6'2 SF| Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He starts on JV for the Hawks. I have not watched a full game of his, but have caught segments of the Horace JV team and Ohleen has made some nice plays. Austin is a strong southpaw who finishes well at the rim. He has shown some craftiness in the paint. Ohleen looks to be an improved rebounder this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632692' first='Elijah' last='Robinson'] |5'9 G| Midway-Minto</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A coach's kid who knows the game well. Eli is a key player for the 10-5 Mustangs. No stranger to scoring in double digits, Robinson is also a productive rebounder. A resourceful, accurate, and fruitful shooter. Eli can stroke the 3-ball, but also slash-n-score at the cup. Robinson's tools &amp; skills should only improve &amp; sharpen as time goes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1951559' first='Noah' last='Hippen'] |6'3 SF| Thompson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah does not come off the floor very often when the Tommie JV is playing, for good reasons! This young baller has really grown and developed over the past year. Hippen uses his length and athleticism to defend &amp; rebound at a high level. Noah is a strong finisher who has had some big scoring games this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1541564' first='Noah' last='Meidinger'] |6'0 SF| Oak Grove</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Noah is playing well this season and has worked his way into the starting lineup for the Grovers. He is a strong player who makes plays going downhill and has an effective spin move that is difficult to stop. Meidinger is tough as nails &amp; he hustles all over the hardwood. Noah has a ton of potential on defense, he has shown the ability to slow down some talented offensive ballers. Meidinger plays much bigger than he is. He attacks the hoop fearlessly and plays with heart. Every coach loves a player like Meidinger, you never have to question his energy or effort!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1798699' first='Jett' last='Collins'] |6'0 G| Horace</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jett is an effective 3&amp;D player who excels in the catch-n-shoot game. Opponents should not give him much room, Collins shoots it with a hair-trigger! Jett has had some impressive shooting games this winter, he can certainly fill up the scoring column in a hurry. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632702' first='Thomas' last='Lawerence'] |5'10 G| Davies</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quality multi-sport athlete. He is a developing floor general who takes care of the rock. Thomas is a proficient perimeter shooter. This soccer athlete has quick feet that help him stay in front of attackers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1632698' first='Reed' last='Kurzwig'] |5'11 G| West Fargo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He went right from playing QB to lead guard for the Packers sub-varsity teams. Reed is an athletic soph who has showcased his ability this winter. He does good work pressuring the ball while also putting up points from all three levels. He is a talented shooter and will likely be the starting QB for the Packer football team next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1951579' first='Avery' last='Kramer'] |5'11 G| LLM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An impressive athlete with a bright future. An Aggressive baller who causes problems on defense. Kramer sticks out with his athleticism and quickness as a shooting guard. Avery can score in bunches and he is a pesky on-ball defender. Kramer is avererging around 14 ppg on the Loboe JV squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1809393' first='Chase' last='Evenson'] |6'2 SF| Northern Cass</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A JV baller for the Jags. Evanson has the talent &amp; skills to score inside &amp; out. Chase has good size for his age. He has plenty of untapped potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1439476,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/StockRisers2-crop-743x488-1650987210.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/StockRisers2-crop-743x488-1650987210.jpg?w=742" alt="" class="wp-image-1439476" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Photo: Prep Hoops</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
