Twin Cities Takedown: 7 Under The Radar Prospects To Look Out For

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit Events in Minnesota finally kick off starting tonight! There is tons of high level talent to keep an eye out for this weekend all around the metro across all 3 High School levels. Here are 7 prospects going into this weekend I'll be keeping an eye out for!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1874940"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c926a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zach is apart of that super deep returning group at Centennial, which is why I think he got overshadowed this year. I've watched him a few times this season for his Fury Reyes squad, and man is this kid tough. He attacks the glass hard, is a physical defender, and can step out and knock down some 3's! I expect Zach to continue taking big steps this summer and helping his squad out where he's needed. See Zach, and Fury Reyes this weekend at Hopkins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140552"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c92702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Andrew is a kid that not many know about, but had a big weekend at Comets Shootout. I expect that to continue this weekend. He is going to be a big piece for that Mounds View Varsity squad next season. Andrew does a little bit of everything. He attacks the rim hard, can step out and hit 3's, and for a bigger guard rebounds really well. Look out for Andrew making an impact for his Heat GVR squad this summer. See Andrew, and Heat GVR in action this weekend at Hopkins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2465510"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c92749"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mark was a player that not many talked about this season. He lead Mahtomedi this season in scoring with 19.2 per game. He's a crafty 3 level scorer that has a sweet jump shot. He's also a super hard worker and a tough defender. Playing in Pool C this weekend I'd expect him to be one of the highlights in that pool. Check out Mark, and [program_tooltip program_id='2075449' first='East' last='Metro Bounce'] this weekend at Hopkins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1956268"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c92788"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shay is another solid piece on that Totino-Grace roster looking to carve out a role in the Varsity rotation next season, and this kid has the tools to do it. He picks up his man full court and gives pressure all game. His down hill attack wears out his defenders. He's a good shooter too. I think Shay continues to take big steps this summer with Select Fuerte. Catch Shay and his squad at both Maple Grove Middle School and Hopkins this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1936143"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c927c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caden is another super solid PG, and a nice returning piece for Andover next season. Back on the Minnesota Splash this AAU season, Caden is off to a nice start. He's a player with a quick first step and good finishing moves around the basket. He can step out and hit 3's, and he's a pest defensively. Caden has a good motor that leaks into his teammates. Be on the lookout for him to have a nice weekend at Hopkins. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2423114"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c92803"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lincoln burst onto the scene for Glencoe Silver Lake this season averaging 23.2 ppg. He's off to a solid start with [program_tooltip program_id='2422572' first='D1' last='Minnesota Gold'] so far this AAU season. This is a tough nosed kid that can really score it, and get down and defend his guy to create problems. Has sneaky athleticism too. Catch Lincoln, and D1 Gold at both Maple Grove Middle School and Hopkins this weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2417234"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680bde2c9283e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Collin has continued to impress me the more I've watched him. He's a super hard worker, can really shoot it, and a good facilitator. He's had a nice showing for [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Dedina so far, and I think he continues to take big strides as he looks to get into the rotation at Eagan next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
