<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2175462' first='Joshua' last='Sokeye'] - Sokeye the 2025 Junior from Heritage Christian finished the 2023-24 Season strong scoring 35 and 29 points in the final 2 games of the regular season. Sokeye showed good anticipation to collect four steals versus Legacy Christian and versus Mounds Park Academy. Picking off passes, or deflecting to create steals and fast break opportunities.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2050399' first='Gabe' last='Aamot'] - Aamot is a six-foot guard from Dassel-Cokato and played AAU with [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat']. The 2024 Senior averaged nearly 20 points per game for his senior year. Crafty scorer, not afraid to drive in the painted area, and has a floater he can utilize. Outside the arc has a balanced set shot with good mechanics that could benefit him to be a little bit speeder upon release.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1284231' first='Will' last='Strandemo'] - Strandemo is a five-foot-eleven-inch lefty speedy guard from Delano. The Tigers play an attack style offense and Strandemo is similar to past Tigers in the way he relentlessly attacks the middle of the floor. He has a dribble pull-up jumper that is tough to stop since Strandemo has a good right to left dribble. Versus Holy Family recently Strandemo scored 46 points, and then followed that game with 28 points versus Hutchinson. </p>   <p>Julian Greer Jr - Greer is a 2026 six-foot-three-inch guard from Two Rivers and played with Minnesota Splash for AAU. Greer can really hit a high number of 3-pointers like he did versus North St. Paul recently where he had 6 makes. Greer a bigger bodied guard can be a match-up problem for smaller players.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1764282370813800672?t=xvuWzd2nxa1dm8HtIrtdYA&s=19 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1586882' first='Jeremiah' last='Johnson'] - The 2025 Junior guard from STMA has really led the Knights in the 2nd half of the 2023-24 season. Scoring more than 20 in 7 games since January 1st Johnson can score at all three levels. The six-foot guard is a good passer, and has good instincts around the rim to make the right play when he draws defenders.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/1752335858710274083?t=L3cpz0O-ozvxLqWBtK_FbA&s=19 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2103351' first='Jordan' last='Holm'] - Holm is a six-foot-six-inch 2025 Junior wing from STMA. Holm in a scrotcing game versus Hopkins, final score 111-109, scored 30 points and hit 8 threes. Holm showcased one dribble pull-ups, and did a fantastic job off the ball to create space for himself to take and make catch and shoot 3-pointers. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1764298668327256506?t=ssrF9e-j-V-0jYygt7yJzg&s=19 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1434056' first='Jackson' last='Hayes'] - Hayes a six-foot-five-inch 2024 forward from Waconia capped his 2023-24 season with a 34-point performance versus St Louis Park. Hayes uses a lot of deception tactics to get himself good looks at the basket, especially in the paint. He can finish with his right or left hand, and does a good job seeing open teammates around the floor.</p>
