South Dakota 2025 March Rankings Update: Additional Stock-Risers

Let's look at round two of stock-risers in the 2025 class. Prep Hoops Dakotas will give a mention to those prospects that fall in the next range in the top 50 prospects.    Getz translates very well to the next level as a lengthy wing three-point weapon. He's aggressive from range as well and I've seen games where he's attempted 10+ threes. Also, a strong rebounder for Pierre that can rack up rebounding numbers as well. He holds an offer from Mount Marty University.     Kippley started out the season working through a shoulder injury, and things have been up since then. And consistently up. He's put up some 30-point games and has been a consistent and reliable scorer for the Titans. He doesn't possess an eye-popping overall frame, but he's a basketball player that gets it done on the court and makes plays constantly. If he's in the 6'5”-6'6” range playing on the wing, then we really have something. As it stands, he's still a guy that should be on a college roster to see where things can take him.     White is a transfer into Rapid City Central from Lakota Tech. You could say it has been a beneficial move for him and his stock, producing as a high-level scorer at the AA level in South Dakota. I haven't seen a ton of Rapid City Central, but White Jr. is a guard that can handle it, create his own shot, and is a high-level shotmaker. He starts the game out playing off the ball, with Junior Allen starting as the primary ball-handler. White Jr. likes to get a catch then operate off of a set two-feet and attack his defender with a series of moves and counters.     Katzer is a football stud who's committed to Northern State University to play quarterback, and he's a physical guard on the basketball court as well. He plays through and at contact in a downhill manner, and is proving to me to be a more well-rounded and developed offensive product than I had him tabbed for.     VanMeeteren can be an overlooked prospect in the state with all of the talent surrounding him at Hamlin. But he brings it every game, playing with a bunch of energy and activity. He's all over the boards and comes up with 50/50 balls and loose balls at a ridiculous rate. He affects the rim on the defensive side at an elite level, using his 6'6” frame and leaping ability.     Hansen proved to be a recruitable prospect with his intangibles and on-court play, recently committing to Morningside University. Like Kippley, he doesn't have a rare frame, but he's a lunch pail guy that brings it and wants to win. Hansen can score, but if you see his stat lines, he's a consistent producer in all categories and affects a game in many fashions.
