Tip Off Classic: Underclassmen Report

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2575638' first='Izayah' last='Cook'] of Sauk Rapids-Rice (6'5 Forward, Sophomore). Cook had some young moments but I also thought he played more in control on both ends which is a nice sign of maturation.&nbsp; He scored 11, made a couple key shots and helped his team get a win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126166' first='Jaylan' last='Hynes'] of Totino-Grace (6'3 SG, Sophomore).&nbsp; Hynes had important contributions in half two hitting a big jumper and running the floor to finish.&nbsp; He moved the ball, defended hard, kept his frame on shooters and played his role in an important win over Wayzata.&nbsp;</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='2126117' first='Malachi' last='Hill'] of Totino-Grace (5'11 PG, Sophomore).&nbsp; The steadiness of this decision maker seems years ahead of his time. His differentiation between the attack to score, snap ball movement, and attack and move it seems as close to flawless as a player his age can have.&nbsp; Defended so well forcing turnovers and low percentages out of his man, plus he scored twenty points.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2557528' first='Ichima' last='Idoko'] of DeLaSalle (6'7 Forward, Freshman).&nbsp; He didn't play much but this is a name to know soon.&nbsp; Idoko is so long and moves very well.&nbsp; He looks like he has a few more inches to grow and when he was moving his feet with the ball with length out it looked so menacing.&nbsp; He runs well, is quick off his feet, and can move laterally and to do that at 6'7 and growing, its something rare.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140707' first='Waleed' last='Muhammad'] of Breck (6'2 Wing, Sophomore). There is a smoothness to Waleed's game that I really like.&nbsp; He's a lengthy guard at 6'2 with a nice touch and he covers ground well. He had 14 points for Breck in the loss and I think his ceiling is pretty high.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2420169' first='Ahmed' last='Nur'] of Hopkins (6'9 Big, Sophomore).&nbsp; Ahmed again, this is a player with high potential.&nbsp; He had a couple lane finishes, a couple jumpers made, blocked two shots, and had a ten point game.&nbsp; He gives the Royals a legit frontcourt option even if he is young and raw.&nbsp; Big future potential.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126094' first='Ty' last='Schlagel'] of Cretin-Derham Hall (6'7 Forward, 2027).&nbsp; Ty's fire is something that I love.&nbsp; The bigger the game, the more physical the game, it seems the better he is. &nbsp; Schlagel had 20 points for the game including two Laker cut scores and a steal and finish late that really turned the game in the favor of CDH. .</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569249' first='Julian' last='Smith'] of Cretin-Derham Hall (5'9 PG, Sophomore).&nbsp; Smith hit some key foul shots late, had a three go down, and most importantly was on the floor at the end of the game when CDH needed ball handling and good decision making.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569245' first='Jaeden' last='Udean'] of DeLaSalle (6'2 Shooting guard, Sophomore). Udean is as dangerous of a scorer as there is and he can now beat you with that three, or what we saw late was the explosive attacks to the rim blitzing a lane for a touch finish before the help can arrive.&nbsp; He scored 17 points in the win.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lamandre Wright of Minnetonka (5'10 PG, Freshman).&nbsp; Wright was trusted on the floor at the end of the game in crunch time and he handled himself well both ways.&nbsp; His decision making possession to possession is what stood out today but we saw the touch a few times as well.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Others that played</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dre Frierson-Hollie of Cretin-Derhamm Hall (6'6 Forward, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2416947' first='Ayden' last='Green'] of Breck (5'9 PG, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140627' first='Jack' last='Gunderson'] of East Ridge (6'3 Wing, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1956268' first='Shay' last='Jackson'] of Totino-Grace (5'10 PG, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Andrew McGee of Shakopee (6'3 PF, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560534' first='Tre' last='Moore'] of Hopkins (5'11 PG .Freshman)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2401711' first='Alexander' last='Pilakowski'] of Orono (6'0 Guard, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2440059' first='Luke' last='Schroeder'] of Shakopee (6'0 Guard, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126865' first='Grady' last='Starzl'] of Alexandria (6'4 Forward, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126474' first='Kamar' last='Thomas'] of DeLaSalle (6'4, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2533408' first='Deon' last='Wallace-Johnson'] of DeLaSalle (6'1, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Connor Watts of BSM (Guard, Sophomore)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Danie Zoa of Totino-Grace (Forward, 6;5, Freshman)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
