8 Minnesota Prospects of Note This Week

<p>JJ Sullivan - 2026 - The former Eden Prairie guard who spent his senior year at Iowa Prep before reclassing to 2026 recently is playing for Iowa United Prep on the 3SSB Circuit. The son of Iowa State guard Jake Sullivan, JJ has a very good outside shooter, and is very good off screens. The lefty does well finding space to get free to shoot the ball.</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/jjsullivan_1/status/1927059404165136758 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381759' first='Reggie' last='Parker'] - 2026 - Parker is a six-foot-six-inch wing with a little bit longer wingspan than his height. Parker attends Rochester Mayo and plays with MN Lace-Up. The 2026 forward can shoot it a bit from the perimeter as a stretch forward and can finish above the rim on the break. Parker is better running up and down the floor than moving laterally. He finishes above the rim off two feet in the half-court solidly.</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/Reggie__Parker/status/1927448424086904920 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126118' first='Tyler' last='Forrest'] - 2027 - THe six-foot-two-inch Chaska and [program_tooltip program_id='2455790' first='Howard' last='Pulley'] Hoops guard has been good enough to play varsity since 8th grade. Forrest can run your offense like a traditional point, defend on the perimeter, and he has good passing vision. Forrest navigates screens well with the ball and his mid-range pull-up can be very efficient.</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/Tmoneyhoopz/status/1927548505939481014 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1956268' first='Shay' last='Jackson'] - 2027 - Jackson is a five-foot-ten-inch guard from Totino-Grace and MN Select Fuerte who likes to play off the dribble and with a quick pace. Attacks the rim hard, and is a pesky defender using hand and feet quickness. Can get deep into the defense with drives and shows solid passing ability.</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/Shayjackson08/status/1927528283685703894 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140561' first='Benett' last='Barger'] - 2027 - Barger is a six-foot-five-inch wing from Chanhassen and [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury']. Barger is athletic enough and quick enough to go baseline and finish above the rim. Runs the floor well and attacks the basket. Solid footwork and skilled half-court player who passes the ball well and rebounds.</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/BenettBarger/status/1927930848210194920 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2119645' first='Tyrel' last='Pride'] - 2026 - The six-foot-three-inch [program_tooltip program_id='2075808' first='Powerhouse' last='MN'] guard can really score the ball off the dribble especially when attacking downhill. Pride handles the ball well, and when he's knocking down outside shots he becomes almost unstoppable to guard. His height and length give him potential as a defender at the point of attack and on the wing.</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/tyrelp3/status/1928256406290846114 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126446' first='Mustafa' last='Mohamed'] - The six-foot-ten-inch 2027 wing who is playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2455790' first='Howard' last='Pulley'] 17U EYCL team received an offer from Arizona State. Mohamed who's from South St. Paul can be a serious force at the basket defense with his height and length.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560739' first='Max' last='Iversen'] - The 2026 Delano guard who missed a large portion of his junior year with ankle sprains has shown enough with [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB 2026 team to land offers from North Dakota State and North Dakota. The six-foot-three-inch Iversen then committed to NDSU two weeks later. Iversen shoots the ball with incredible accuracy from the perimeter and has taken a solid leap athletically.</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/MaxIversen24/status/1928181297169506648 </div></figure>
