<h2 class="wp-block-heading">St. Thomas Academy 11-8 (12)</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2119593' first='Lars' last='Osteraas'] is a 2026 guard that is averaging 13.7 points per game and he had 16 points Saturday in the big win over BSM. This summer I got to see Osteraas a few times with [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Reyes and he looked very comfortable as the lead guard. He showed good ability to shoot from the perimeter like he did versus BSM when he made three 3-pointers and showed he can get him teammates involved with his passing.</p>   <p><a href="https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1819094747119866148">https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1819094747119866148</a></p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2406302' first='Andrew' last='Nolde'] is a 2025 six-foot-eight-inch senior averaging 19.5 points per game and in a big upset win over BSM for STA Nolde had 16 points. Nolde is more of a traditional big guy with soft hands and he will do the dirty work inside. He rebounds, blocks a shot for you, and will collect loose balls or poke one out for a steal.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Rivers 8-12 (29)</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560771' first='Julian' last='Greer Jr.'] is a six-foot-three-inch 2026 guard that is averaging 13.2 points per game. Greer is a floor spreader with his outside shooting ability and can give you games like versus Mahtomedi when he scored 16 points and knocked down four 3-pointers.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560793' first='Lamont' last='Michaels'] is a 6-foot 2026 guard who's averaging 14.6 points per game and put together a 23 point, 4 rebound, and 4 assist performance versus Tartan. Michaels is a good ball handler and solid passing vision. Spotted up, Michaels shows he can shoot from the perimeter, and he's a tough player to keep out of the painted area.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2121369' first='Martevious' last='Allen'] is a 2026 guard that is averaging 10.5 points per game for Two Rivers that has shown he can give them more at times like his 19 points versus Hill-Murray when he made four 3-pointers and collected three steals. Allen does well collecting loose balls and finishing in transition. Transition he looks very comfortable sprinting and attacking the basket.</p>   <p>Up and coming: [player_tooltip player_id='2353796' first='Jaylen' last='Greer'] (2029)</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">South St. Paul 8-12 (30)</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126446' first='Mustafa' last='Mohamed'] is a 2027 six-foot-nine-inch forward who is a very promising sophomore prospect who could potentially land himself with some big offers in the near future. Long, athletic, agile athlete that is a step above most of the others in his class that his improvements in the skill areas of the game could make him a significant player to watch for. He is averaging 14.1 points per game for SSP and it seems his skill development is coming along pretty well as his jump shot has improved from last summer in form and ability.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126460' first='Donte' last='Branch'] is a 2027 sophomore guard that is averaging 13.2 points per game. Two summers ago I watched Branch play with the MN [program_tooltip program_id='2075852' first='Spartans' last=''] as an 8th grader and he had a good ability to score the basketball. That ability seems to have followed him as he's a good outside shooter and can really hit them in multiples.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2120510' first='Addison' last='Tereau'] is a six-foot-two-inch 2026 guard that scored 30 points versus Simley in January for SSP. Tereau does well attacking the basket and when he's going to make shots from the outside.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj1hbUSJwVgu0026amp;ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">St. Paul Harding 10-8 (31)</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2822387' first='Tobis' last='Williams'] is a 2025 senior guard who's averaging 17.3 points per game. His best two games came versus St. Paul Humboldt where in the first meeting he scored 36 and the 2nd he scored 30, both victories.</p>   <p>Ai'Jhon Douglas is a 2025 guard who's scoring 15.4 points per game. Douglas's season high 29 points came in a game versus St. Paul Humboldt.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Minneapolis Roosevelt 11-7 (35)</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560875' first='Calvin' last='Peterson'] is a 2026 six-foot-one-inch guard that is averaging 20.1 points per game while making 38.5% from 3 on 62 makes so far. Peterson is a big threat from the perimeter, spotted up or on the move. He does well cutting and getting himself open going to the rim. Very active player, rebounds well for his size.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/4SolsIqfGmw?si=KWCw6xzolUCIxaxY </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2423563' first='Obie' last='Esparza'] is a six-foot-three-inch 2025 senior who is averaging 16 points per game shooting 49% from the field, grabbing 6 rebounds, picking up 2.3 steals and blocking 1.3 shots. Esparza is a good passer, and solid finisher at the basket. Very much a small forward that can make outside shots at times.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">St. Paul Highland Park 9-9 (34)</h2>   <p>Yared Yohoness is a six-foot-two-inch senior 2025 guard that is averaging 19.7 points per game. Yohoness when able to get to his spots in the mid-range can really make things happen. Yohoness can shoot it from the perimeter as well and does well with hesitation around the rim. Will defend his opponents the length of the floor.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/yyohannes651/status/1888784435383783577 </div></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Minneapolis South 8-12 (37)</h2>   <p>Eugene Brown is a six-foot-four-inch 2025 wing who's averaging 16 points per game shooting 47.6% on all shots while grabbing 8.8 rebounds per game. Brown is dangerous in transition and uses length to deflect passes and gather loose balls.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2435232' first='Jumair' last='Wright'] is a 2028 freshman guard who is averaging 15 points per game while shooting 37% from 3 and 53.7% on all shots. Wright who played Team FSA last summer seems very comfortable with the ball pulling shots and making passes to teammates. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhcCIO6H0fQ&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">St. Paul Como Park 6-12 (45)</h2>   <p>JaHari HIll is a 2025 senior that is averaging 18.8 points per game.
