Nathan Johnson Nathan Johnson 6’5″ | SF Hutchinson | 2025 State MN – Johnson is a six-foot-five-inch 2025 forward from Hutchinson. Johnson can be a match-up problem on the wing for larger slower defenders and can punish smaller defenders in the post. Johnson has the ability to hit shots from the outside and is an agile mover. That agility gives him the ability to block shots on defense and get out in the open floor in transition.
Highlights
Ryan Beckwith Ryan Beckwith 6’2″ | SG Farmington | 2025 State MN – Beckwith a six-foot-three-inch 2025 wing from Farmington. Beckwith is a knockdown shooter from the perimeter where he is very dangerous when his feet are set for him to let the ball fly. His good footwork enables him to make deceptive moves on the perimeter to get himself free for shots at the rim or from mid-range. Beckwith, very solid as a secondary ball handler, has growth potential as a primary handler and distributor.
Trey Mix
Trey Mix
Trey Mix – Mix is a six-foot-two-inch 2025 guard from Rogers. In a game versus Wayzata in the state tournament Rogers was quite overmatched talentwise. Mix was a steady force for the Royals and stayed aggressive the entire game. He handled the ball, made shots, and showed good toughness. Mix has a knack for getting after the ball and enough athletic ability to throw down on the break.
Colton Kazmierkoski Colton Kazmierkoski 6’4″ | SF Rogers | 2025 State MN – Kazmierkoski is a six-foot-four-inch 2025 wing from Rogers. Kazmierkoski’s best ability is slashing to the basket off cuts and getting out in transition for easy opportunities with his speed and agility. Has good form on his jumper, especially from range, could see a good increase in efficiency with more shots. HUDL HIGHLIGHTS
Highlights
Soren Leafblad Soren Leafblad 5’9″ | PG Burnsville | 2025 State MN – Leafblad is a five-foot-ten-inch 2025 guard from Burnsville. Leafblad style of play falls into transition point-guard as he has good ability to set the table for his teammates. Leafblad rebounds well enough for his position and keeps head up to move the ball in transition.
Luke Loehlein Luke Loehlein 5’11” | CG Prior Lake | 2025 State MN – Loehlein is a six-foot 2025 guard from Prior Lake. Loehlein is a threat from the perimeter at all times, and can easily hit multiple triples in a game. Opponents respect his jab step that gives him enough move to fire away from the outside. Loehlein’s greatest strength shooting is off the ball coming off screens as opponents struggle to stay with him allowing him separation.
Highlights
Jackson Driessen Jackson Driessen 6’2″ | PG Centennial | 2025 State MN – Driessen is a six-foot-two-inch 2025 guard from Centennial. Driessen shot over 40% from 3 in 2022-23 and averaged 10 points per game. In 2023-24 he increased his points a game by 5 up to 15 a contest. Driessen is a quick guard, has a tight handle, and really puts pressure on defenders in tight areas. Driessen’s biggest opportunity area of his game involves teammates and passing the basketball.
Highlights
Drew Kolander Drew Kolander 6’6″ | PF Lakeville North | 2025 MN – Kolander is a six-foot-six-inch 2025 Center from Lakeville North. Kolander is effective in the high-post as a passer for the Lakeville North Panthers. He can stretch the floor and shoot it from the perimeter, rotates well on defense, and moves well enough laterally. Stats don’t reflect ability too much at Lakeville North due to high-end prospects, Kolander could see big uptick in numbers in 24-25.
Highlights
Charlie Pettis Charlie Pettis 6'2" | SG Burnsville | 2025 State MN – Pettis is a six-foot-three-inch 2025 wing from Burnsville.
