Anderson is quickly ascending as a prospect with six D1 offers including one from Drake most recently. Wiggins, top 100 recruit nationally just seems to float on the court with how things seem effortless for him.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Olmstead operates with such grace at the point guard position. He's a great passer and a terrific 3-point shooter.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Together they are averaging 57.3 points and have 4A Wayzata at 11-2.</p>

All 3 will be off to college next year, Hanson to a D2 in Michigan, Swenson Minnesota Crookston, and Omoke Bemidji State for football.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The three compliment each other well as they specialized in specific skills on the court. Hanson is a knock down shooter, Omoke energy and defense, and Swenson long, athletic stretch forward type wing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Together with stats available they are averaging 55 points per game and have Sauk Rapids at 9-3.</p>

<p>Joseph Mitchell, [player_tooltip player_id='2126094' first='Ty' last='Schlagel'], [player_tooltip player_id='1310206' first='Tommy' last='Ahneman'] - The top player in the 2025 class, the top 2027 player, and near the top 5 in the 2026 class. Plus one is a big in the middle, one is out on the wing, and the other is a lead guard.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Depending on the match-up you could see any one of the 3 being the main attraction leading the scoring output. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288748' first='Tyler' last='Wagner'], [player_tooltip player_id='1874925' first='Preston' last='Thielke'], Kwa Silikpoh - This trio is scoring 58.4 points per game for the Champlin Park Rebels leading them to a 7-3 record so far. Wagner joined the Rebels this season as a transfer from Totino-Grace and as the lead featured score he has really flourished scoring 28.2 points per game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While Thielke has taken a step back as a scorer on this team from his lead scoring role last season, he fits so nicely as a do it all guard next to Wagner and point guard Kwa. All summer playing [program_tooltip program_id='2075693' first='MN' last='Crossfire'] Young Thielke along with [player_tooltip player_id='1617722' first='Jaxon' last='Young'] proved they belong.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Silikpoh showed out for Adidas [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB as the lead guard with his overall speed and quickness. When Kwa grabs a rebound he immediately darts up the floor like Russell Westbrook. Kwa had a huge outburst this year scoring 42 points versus Blaine.</p>

This Big 3 is scoring 56.5 points, grabbing 19 rebounds, and dishing out 18.5 assists per game while shooting well over 50% from the field and hitting over 38% of their 3-pointers.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Moore is the main offensive engine controlling pace and running the point as lead ball handler. Smith is the secondary option but primary scorer. Semanko fills in as the 3rd scorer and 2nd distributor in a way Kyle Anderson was to the Timberwolves last year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Hopkins 3 do just about everything well offensively and all three are super competitive. The Royals' closest game this year was an 11-point victory over Orono.</p>

East is 10-1 with their only defeat at the hands of 4A Hopkins in the Breakdown Tip-Off Classic.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Madson gives you everything you want from a traditional point guard who has a good shooting stroke and an excellent first step. Gustafson as a secondary ball handler gives them a serious 2nd scorer that would be a lead scorer on almost any other team. Gosch is an athletic wing who cuts hard and gives Madson someone to hit often, and Gosch brings energy on defense.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1572689' first='Jalen' last='Wilson'], [player_tooltip player_id='1572691' first='Jaleel' last='Donley'], TJ Stuttley - Benilde-St. Margaret's was looking like it was going to be a duo until last summer Stuttley transferred in from MOKAN Elite in Missouri (he's originally from Wisconsin). Stuttley is a dynamic scorer and good athlete who brings a lot to the wing for BSM in addition to Wilson and Donley.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wilson is a top 200 player in the country for the 2025 class and is on his way to Northern Iowa next year. The six-foot-seven-inch forward controls the middle for the Red Knight's while Donley is the lead guard.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The trio is scoring almost 58 points per game and the Red Knight's are off to a 8-0 start including a 75-54 victory over Maple Grove at the Southside Showcase Saturday where Wilson scored 25 points and Donley had 21 points including an electric dunk.</p>
