Let’s dive into and mention the true ballers that were standing out and competing in a big way. Who were getting people talking? There’s quite a long list of talented prospects with upside, so we’ll make this a multiple-post series. Let’s first look at some Dakotas and Nebraska prospects.

Robinson most definitely had people talking. Such an instinctive and dominant performer this weekend. Extremely sudden, explosion, and movement. Effortlessly making plays on the ball, passing the ball up-court or finishing at the rim with athleticism. 27-point performance to make it to the finals.
Booth easily stands out in the 14U group. At 6’5” with long arms, makes him for a formidable prospect. Protects the rim with length and shot-blocking. Below you can see him get up and dunk.
Wagner was a true BIG that was a workhorse in the paint. At 6’4” he did a lot of interior damage with his long and sturdy frame. Not super bulky but he’s well built and strong. Got busy on the boards and was hitting the offensive glass hard.
Bruns is a 2029 playing with the Sanford Sports Academy 14U Black team. Bruns is a well-known name in South Dakota basketball, with a long line of standouts at Dakota Valley. Little Bruns is a stud in his own right and serves as more of a quick and shifty point guard that can handle the ball at an elite level.
I saw Olson a year ago and he looks like he grew physically, in height and frame, a decent amount. His quick handle and quickness off the dribble pops out first.

Jenkins was one of the most elite athletes and would fly around and make plays on the ball and score in transition. That was the name of the game for this Team Nebraska Express team.
