Maverick Nelson
Maverick
Nelson
6'3" | SG
Sioux Valley | 2025
State
SD
| 6’3 SG | 2025 | Sioux Valley
Maverick will be counted on heavily in the scoring department for Sioux Valley if they want to beat good teams. He will need some big playmaking games. This was made even more evident after watching them at Dakota State. He was aggressive to score, by attacking and shooting the three. He also made some legitimate passes for dimes. He’s not an explosive athlete, but he has size and can get to where he needs to get to.
Ben Brooks
Ben
Brooks
6'9" | SF
Madison | 2025
State
SD
| 6’9” Wing/F | 2025 | Madison
I thought Brooks’ defense stood out to me. He wasn’t letting anything past him on the drive and clearly affected the game on that end with his length. As always, he showed a nice offensive skill set at 6’9” with a smooth stroke from three.
Luke Koepsell
Luke
Koepsell
6'4" | SF
Howard | 2025
State
SD
| 6’4” F | 2025 | Howard
Koepsell had a great game versus Tri-Valley. Scoring in the interior and clearing the boards. He was at the foul line often in that matchup. A big and physical 6’4” forward with a football player’s build and mindset.
Boyd Pooler
Boyd
Pooler
5'10" | PG
Oldham-Ramona-Rutland | 2027
SD
| 5’10” PG | 2027 | Oldham-Ramona-Rutland
Pooler was the surprise of the camp and was the most valuable player to his team out of all the players at the camp. He led his team to a major upset win over Madison. Handled the ball and handled the bulk of the scoring and playmaking.
Alex Wingen
Alex
Wingen
5'11" | CG
Tri-Valley | 2025
SD
| 5’11” G | 2025 | Tri-Valley
Wingen played fast and gave 100% effort. He most definitely emptied the tank. Handled the ball at speed from the point and was a tenacious defender. Scored through contact. Tough player.
Tristen Bunde
Tristen
Bunde
6'2" | SG
Tri-Valley | 2026
State
SD
| 6’2” G | 2026 | Tri-Valley
Bunde has some length to him as a 6’2” slender guard. His build allows him to move well. Can go off the bounce and get to the hoop with athleticism. His ranking will drastically change in the right direction in the SD 2026 rankings update on Monday.
Carson Hinker
Carson
Hinker
6'2" | SG
Howard | 2025
SD
| 6’2” G | 2025 | Howard
Hinker was a consistent playmaker for Howard at the camp. A non-flashy guard that has good size from the guard spot. I remember him being tough on the boards and a strong finisher inside.
AJ Rodriguez
AJ
Rodriguez
6'1" | PG
Madison | 2026
State
SD
| 6’1” PG | 2026 | Madison
I had Rodriguez moved up the rankings board prior to the camp, and he solidified, if not raised his stock even more. He was probably a top-3 shot-blocker at the camp. He was challenging at the rim with bounce and hang time. A kid that can get up and dunk, no problem. That’s at 6’1”. An offense creator with the ball in his hands. Opens things up with his handle and shiftiness.
Shane Veenhof
Shane
Veenhof
5'11" | SG
Madison | 2026
State
SD
| 5’11 G | 2026 | Madison
Veenhof is a guard with some elite quickness, speed, and explosiveness. Plays fast up and down and will sky high for a board and immediately turn up-court to push in transition. Elite verticality. He was highly dynamic and made a bunch of plays. Made layup finishes and knocked-down jumpers.
Myles Schneider
Myles
Schneider
6'2" | SF
Madison | 2026
State
SD
| 6’2”-6’3” Wing | 2026 | Madison
Myles had an outstanding game against Oldham-Ramona-Rutland. He was making plays on both ends, getting steals into transition finishes on the other end. Had an emphatic block that soared into the stands. Got to the middle of the lane offensively and was making an impact. He made his presence felt.
