Tip Off Classic: New Names to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2760056' first='Malachi' last='Boadi']-Aboagye of Minnetonka (6'1, 2025).&nbsp; The big bodied forward showed more skill than we have seen from him away from the basket.&nbsp; He scored 18 points moving off the ball, using the dribble a bit, and hitting a few jumpers, plus he played his paint role well as the best frontcourt player in the game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caleb Francois of Minnetonka (6'2 SG, 2026).&nbsp; This junior has made quite the name for himself so far this season. He had 15 points in the opener and then knocked out three threes scoring 23 in a win over East Ridge.&nbsp; Francois has a strong frame and he used the dribble very well to find space to score. Touch looked good as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2424180' first='Grant' last='Hansen'] of Orono (6'0 Guard, Sophomore). Hansen is a passionate young player that keeps energizing his team with big threes.&nbsp; He had four of them today in the win over Fargo Davies as Orono picked up a comfortable win.&nbsp; Hansen has had a big impact in beating TWO big school number ones already this year (Wayzata and Fargo Davies).&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2436860' first='Jacob' last='Hudson'] of Minnetonka (6'0 PG, 2025).&nbsp; Hudson was a JV player for Hopkins last year.&nbsp; He went to Tonka is now a key player for the Skippers.&nbsp; He handled the ball well with [player_tooltip player_id='1567964' first='Isa' last='El-Amin'] out and made some shots but it was his pestering defense on [player_tooltip player_id='1560882' first='Cedric' last='Tomes'] that was the biggest contribution.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2405321' first='Vince' last='Jacob'] of Totino-Grace (6'0 SG, 2025). Jacob was a huge reason TG won. He defends well giving his team consistency on that end and he made some massive shots for his team, especially the corner three late and a foul shot.  TG does not win that game without his contributions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2510630' first='Graham' last='Sanneh'] of East Ridge (6'8 PF, 2026).  Graham is a raw prospect but he is long, every bit of 6'8 and has some agility.  He is short on experience and needs to be more physical, but with time there are tools to work with here as a future prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2575642' first='Kobbe' last='Willis'] of Benilde-St. Margaret's (6'5, Wing, 2026).&nbsp; Willis started rusty with the touch and then knocked out three triples about the time the Knights went from soundly beating Shako, to crushing Shako.&nbsp; When you get threes like that from Willis while Wilson, Stuttley and Donley are scoring that is a lot to stop.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
