<p>The names you should know that are making a big jump in the rankings to the top 100!</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1574220' first='Monteff' last='Dixon Jr'] of Cretin-Derham Hall. Dixon's efforts in the paint to board, to explosively finish, and to defend at times really catches the eye. He is explosive athletic with great agility and I think if continues to develop from good coaching he could be a strong prospect. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2104431' first='Marnaries' last='Ferguson'] of Duluth Denfeld. Pound for pound he has to be one of the better scorers in the senior class. A volume shooter that led his team to state averaging 24.5 points a game on 19-20 shots per game. Shot 46 percent from the field as a guard with 79.5 percent from the foul line plus four plus steals a game ranking him with the state leaders. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1617766' first='Keegan' last='Harney'] of Maple Grove. Harney averaged about 21/5/4/2 this year while setting program records for career, single season and single three point shooting. He is now getting calls from division two schools after he led his team to the state final four.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2822382' first='Jahnial' last='Jones'] of Robbinsdale Cooper. At 6'7 and a lefty with nice stroke and agility, Jahnial is a prospect. He is raw and will need a bit more physical maturation time but he scored 15 points a game this year and I'm not sure many knew who he was coming into the year. As an agile lefty with perimeter comfort, he has a chance to really grow at the next level. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1575329' first='Reid' last='Klug'] of Caledonia. His comfort in a big and agile frame at the arc gave a lot of teams problems. He is now skilled enough to shoot over the top or put the ball on the deck and attack finish against teams. With his strength and agility its tough to knock him off balance and the touch looked to be there for 20ppg down the stretch whenever his team needed it </p>

<p>Angok Kucha of Rochester JM. This 6'7, long and agile player just surprised me every game. Sometimes he was the Rodman rebounder and defender, sometimes he was the best passer on the floor, sometimes he was the off ball scorer and sometimes he showed us a really nice shooting stroke. The potential is there, now he needs to physically continue to get stronger and he could really blossom as a 20 or 21 year old college player.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2385546' first='Zane' last='Nelson'] of Lewiston-Altura. It lists center for him and while he can do that, Zane has the agility and developing touch to play more at the four as well. Had some monster, record breaking numbers for this team this year both scoring and rebounding. Skills have taken a big step forward and he's a big effort guy. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2094704' first='Johanes' last='Piscikas'] of Lakeville North. Johanes has some crazy bounce when he gets a step to the rim and he became the North leading scorer this year at 17 a game. Had a good 17u year but I don't think anybody expected him to be the top Panther and one of the best players in the South Suburban. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2103394' first='Dorian' last='Pruitt'] of DeLaSalle. A forward for De this year and I really like how he has come along as a defender and team basketball player. More comfort away from the basket and the length and agility piece is there. Could be a really nice combo forward at the next level. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579910' first='Noah' last='Sundquist'] of Cherry. I know Noah is a strong baseball player but he was one of the top players in Class A basketball shooting 75 percent from the floor for 24 points a game! His agility and activity really surprises and if he decides to focus on college basketball he could really become better as skills increase.</p>

<p>Trenton Woodall-Jones of Fridley. To be honest Fridley was kind of left for dead but they were a .500 team this year and a key reason was Trenton moving into an alpha scoring role at 25 points a game. Big jump from last year. </p>
