2025 Rankings Update: Class AAA New Additions (part 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We add in more new additions to the rankings update from Class AAA today. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2300011' first='Nate' last='Chavez'] of Orono (6'5 Sf). Chavez had a breakout season for Orono. On most nights he was a trusted player defending well, making the right choices with the ball and rebounding some. But then there were big scoring nights as well showing off a touch and a bit of a scoring burst that flashes some potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434741' first='[player_tooltip player_id='2393392' first='Cole' last='']' last='Drill'] of Mound-Westonka (6'3 Sf). I see the [player_tooltip player_id='2434741' first='[player_tooltip player_id='2393392' first='Cole' last='']' last='Drill'], it seems perfect for Coach Phillips. I look at the numbers, they are worth a note. Then you see that Drill has grown three inches and has played a few spots, he has to get on this list. At 14+ a game that is a nice jump from sophomore to junior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2405321' first='Vince' last='Jacob'] of Totino-Grace (6'0, Sg). Jacob was the ninth man for the Eagles this year and played a nice role as a worker when he got in the game. Doing well for the [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434735' first='Malik' last='Johnson'] of Bloomington Kennedy (6'2 Sf). Johnson scored 15 a game with his aggressive approach to going to the hoop for Kennedy. Led his team in scoring after not being on the varsity roster last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2408187' first='Lucas' last='Knudson'] of Orono (6'0 Cg). Knudson really did a nice job coming off the bench as a defender, as a back-up handler, and/or as a shooter. A good role player that will step into a bigger role as a senior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2406764' first='Thomas' last='Myers'] of Hill-Murray (6'3 Sg). Myers is a name that kind of came from nowhere. He is a good sized guard that has played well this 17u season after scoring 14 points a game for the Pioneers who were much improved. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trenton Woodall-Jones of Fridley (6'2, Sg). The Tigers surprised many this year with their win total and with their balance. Trenton was one of five guys that scored in double digits averaging a dozen a game as a great shooter. He could have a huge year next season with the amount of players they lost to graduation. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434730' first='Josiah' last='Young'] of Totino-Grace (6'2, Sg). Young was a key player for the Eagles and while he is more of a football recruit we hear, his toughness and agility as a worker/defender allowed him to play down the stretch in big games. Young wasn't needed for numbers, he was needed for trusted role minutes and he did that very well for the champ. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
