The senior has Red Lake one game from a state champion berth. In wins versus Win-E-Mac and Mahnomen/Waubun Red Lake is in the section final Friday versus Fertile-Beltrami. Kingbird has deep range on his shot and great awareness to get out in transition for easy buckets. Kingbird also has enough athleticism to dunk in transition.
Justin Courneya Justin Courneya 6'1" | PG Win-E-Mac | 2024 State MN – Courneya the 2024 senior guard went out with a bang versus Red Lake on Saturday scoring 32 points. Courneya is just a natural scorer who will get your team buckets. Deep range on his shot, and he’s developed a in the paint floater to expand his scoring. He will go on to play at Concordia Moorhead next year
Joe Courneya Joe Courneya 5'11" | PG Win-E-Mac | 2027 MN – Courneya is a 2027 freshman guard from Win-E-Mac who averaged 13.5 points per game. The five-foot-eleven-inch guard has deep range on his shot, and can really make them in bunches like versus Red Lake when he had 5 3-pointers on his way to a 21-point performance.
Jackson McAndrew Jackson McAndrew 6'10" | PF Wayzata | 2024 State #24 Nation MN – McAndrew showed why he’s the favorite for Minnesota Mr. Basketball and the top recruit in Minnesota of the 2024 class Tuesday night versus Hopkins. The six-foot-nine-inch senior scored a game high 40 points to lead Wayzata to a convincing win 105-76. McAndrew teeters between the wing and stretch four on the floor as he can wear you out fundamentally inside and shoot over you from distance.
Sam Hondl Sam Hondl 6'7" | SF Albany | 2025 State MN – Hondl a six-foot-seven-inch Albany and Minnesota Comets 2025 junior forward has Albany one game from another trip to the state tournament. Versus Spectrum Wednesday Hondl had 28 points which included three 3-pointers. Hondl can do just about everything on the floor as he stuffs up the stat sheet with his unique set of skills as he utilizes his long frame.
Colton Purcell Colton Purcell 6'2" | SF Annandale | 2027 State MN – Purcell is a 2027 freshman from Annandale and he had himself a solid freshman year for the Cardinals as they are one game short of state tournament appearance. Purcell scored 17 versus Osakis in a 61-50 victory. The six-foot-two-inch Purcell is a game competitor as I witnessed this summer as he was playing for Minnesota Rush. He also managed 2 steals versus Osakis and averaged 13.4 points per game.
Marcus Marshall Jr – Marshall is a 2027 freshman guard from Minneapolis North and Wednesday versus Holy Family he put together a 31-point performance to help give the Polars a convincing 104-86 win. Marshall has a quick, smooth release on his shot and made Holy Family pay from the outside making at least 4 3-pointers. Marshall is quick, and showed some good vision on passes to open players.
Delbert Hardin – Hardin is a six-foot-four-inch forward from Minneapolis North who brings high energy and does the dirty work inside. Against Holy Family he scored 16 points and had at least 1 block displaying good athleticism and a strong motor on both sides of the floor.
