Austin Ahrendt Austin Ahrendt 6'2" | SG Nevis | 2024 State MN of Nevis (6’2, sg). A slashing scorer that has often been the Nevis leading scorer, but Austin is really about that defensive end. One of the better defenders I saw in Class A this season.
Andrew Bueckers Andrew Bueckers 6'4" | SF Pine River-Backus | 2024 State MN of Pine River-Backus (6’4 sf). Bueckers is a longer face-up player that did a lot around the basket for his team but he is a good handler at his size that went at the bigger players that were forced to guard him.
Jacob Dixon Jacob Dixon 6'6" | PF East Central | 2024 State MN of East Central (6’6, big). Dixon is one of the stronger bigs in class A hoops and likely in the state. Plus he runs well, gets of the floor well, averages a double-double easily, and his coaches love him as a leader. Dixon is another low post Class A big that is worth looking into. Note: I later noticed I had Dixon ranked previously but felt that after writing this, I wanted to keep it to say it anyway.
Bryce Hoekman Bryce Hoekman 6'9" | C Murray County Central | 2024 State MN of Murray County Central (6’9 big). Bryce might be one of the most interesting finds this year. He is 6’9, 200 pounds and has a good looking touch facing up. A multi-time all league player that is really long and has a frame that could be molded into a nice prospect. Keep an eye on this kid.
Carter Olson Carter Olson 6'0" | PG Mountain Lake Area-Comfrey | 2024 State MN of Mountain Lake Area-Comfrey (6’0 pg). The lead guard that led a team into the top five spots in state this year, Olson is that all state level guard that defended, handled the ball, and knocked out jumpers at a quality rate.
Kyler Pickle Kyler Pickle 6'1" | SG ACGC | 2024 State MN of ACGC (6’1, sg). When it comes to triple double guys in the backcourt, that is Kyler. He is a 25/9/8 guy nearly on average. Many sport athlete that was multi-year all conference.
Isaac Simonson Isaac Simonson 6'5" | PF Red Rock Central | 2024 State MN of Red Rock Central (6’5, pf). Simonson is strong and rebounding constant. Top scorer for his team but more so is his defensive control with help defense in the post, his low post d, shot blocking and defensive rebounding. One of the best rebounders in the state in both numbers and effort.
Jordan Warne Jordan Warne 6'6" | PF MACCRAY | 2024 State MN of MACCRAY (6’6, pf). Jordan has good size as a four man and a touch that has to be respected. Moves pretty well and a good shot blocker. There is potential here in this developing four man.
