MN Comets College Prep Camp 2028 Prospects of Note

[player_tooltip player_id='2406558' first='Nicholas' last='Vanheel'] - Vanheel is a six-foot-four-inch physical 2028 forward from Albany that by the end of June was finishing above the rim with authority. He's super active in the paint on the offensive and defensive glass. Not afraid to do the work in the interior, rebound and defend. Vanheel showed off ability to step out on the perimeter a bit as he seems to be rapidly improving from April to now.   [player_tooltip player_id='2395830' first='Oliver' last='McKenna'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2395557' first='Gus' last='McKenna'] - The 2028 Pequot Lakes McKenna twins are long with good length, solid touch around the rim, good hands and feet. Gus is a tad taller than Oliver, both run track in the spring and do the high jump and cross-county in the fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='2560485' first='Jackson' last='Vargas'] - Vargas is a six-foot-four-inch 2028 guard from Rogers who is a fantastic catch and shoot jump shooter. With his added height this summer he can focus his development on strength, speed and quickness. Smart player with good BBIQ making the right plays often, and made plays putting the ball on the floor getting by his opponent for scores.   [player_tooltip player_id='2413330' first='Judd' last='Layton'] - Layton is a six-foot-three-inch 2028 guard from Big Lake and just like a couple weeks ago at the Sophomore ID Camp Layton scored in bunches and often. Layton is solid all over the court as he's active as a rebounder, solid passer, and defends.   [player_tooltip player_id='2920933' first='Berant' last='Amborn'] - Amborn is a five-foot-eleven-inch 2028 guard from Alexandria that was MN Comets Elite Gagner's more consistent ball-handler and lead guard this past summer. At the college prep camp he showed strong driving skill, capable jump shooting, moves the ball, and can really lead the team.   <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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKES-yL45qA </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2452936' first='Paxton' last='Engelby'] - Engelby is a 2028 guard from Andover that never seemed bothered shooting the ball from the perimeter, open or if a man got to him to attempt to limit his view while shooting. Engelby can be crafty with his dribble, and combined with his jump shooting ability really give him separation at times on the perimeter.   [player_tooltip player_id='2919157' first='Gavin' last='Berg'] - Berg is a five-foot-six-inch 2028 guard from Alexandria. Skill wise, Berg is a good basketball player, especially outside shooter. Makes the right plays and you can count on him to work hard with or without the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='2402520' first='Collin' last='Cramlet'] - Cramlet is a six-foot-two-inch 2028 Albany forward and very similar to other Albany athletes, hard worker, and constantly doing the small stuff on the court. End of August when I saw Cramlet at the Prep Hoops Sophomore ID Camp Cramlet didn't seem to get himself enough opportunities, however Sunday afternoon he made the most of them with a number of makes including some 3-pointers, putbacks, and a floater.   [player_tooltip player_id='2360699' first='Reace' last='Boll'] - Boll is a six-foot-four-inch 2028 forward from Moorhead and played with [program_tooltip program_id='2076003' first='West' last='Central United'] this past summer. I got to see Boll up close a few times and like those times Sunday he showed a solid physical presence inside playing aggressive and was active on the boards. Boll also showcased a solid ability to spin in the interior and score short baskets.   [player_tooltip player_id='2492911' first='Dewayne' last='Sims'] - The 2028 Brainerd guard Sims has good speed and quickness with the ball, and he can make quick bursts for steals above the break when opponents make lazy passes. Sims showed ability in pick and roll and found open shooters a number of times.   [player_tooltip player_id='2377585' first='Nolan' last='Girard'] - Girard is a 2028 guard that played with Hoop Habits this summer and will be at BSM this winter. Girard is a capable outside shooter and Girard doesn't shy away from the rim on the offensive end to look for chances.   [player_tooltip player_id='2863221' first='Humberto' last='Ramirez'] - Ramirez is a five-foot-nine-inch 2028 guard from Renville County West. On a 18-8 RCW team Ramirez scored 5.4 points per game along with 2 20-point scorers. Ramirez attacked defenders off the dribble, and use power dribble moves to get to the rim.   [player_tooltip player_id='2385471' first='Nolan' last='Lee'] - The six-foot-one-inch Kasson-Mantorville Lee is a two-sport athlete as he plays soccer as well. Lee slashes often to the rim and is an active defender.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1948846077865554400 </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='2835426' first='Ty' last='Miller'] - Miller is a five-foot-six-inch 2028 guard from Alexandria that does a good job despite his size to get paint touches and move the ball back to the perimeter. Very good outside shooter, better off the ball than on.   [player_tooltip player_id='2560493' first='Jonah' last='Laumeyer'] - Laumeyer is a six-foot-four-inch 2028 athletic wing from St. Cloud Apollo. In April Laumeyer seemed very unpolished but clearly one of the best players on the floor in a game versus MN Magic I saw. He's very active on the boards, and a good enough ball handler on the perimeter.   [player_tooltip player_id='2860131' first='Deven' last='Schumann'] - Schumann is a 2028 guard from Sartell and showed ability to shoot from the perimeter. Schumann still needs to grow as a ball handler and playmaker but he can spread the floor.   Jax Grover - Grover is a six-foot-three-inch forward from Rogers and played with MN Comets Elite Gagner. Grover is an active defender, floor runner and is showing ability to step out on the perimeter shooting the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='2949814' first='Logan' last='Beckman'] - Beckman is a 2028 six-foot-one-inch player from Elk River. I've seen Beckman play a number of times over the past year and he can play between the guard and wing spots defensively offering his team some versatility. He's aggressive enough on offense who needs to improve his jump shot.   [player_tooltip player_id='2842274' first='Cavin' last='Thorfinnson'] - Thorfinnson is a six-foot-one-inch guard from Minnewaska that shot the ball exceptionally from the perimeter like he did for the WC WIldcats this summer. Shot mechanics are smooth, worked well around the bucket versus size and moves the ball up the floor in transition.

Nicholas Vanheel Nicholas Vanheel 6'4" | PF/SF Albany Area | 2028 State MN - Vanheel is a six-foot-four-inch physical 2028 forward from Albany that by the end of June was finishing above the rim with authority. He's super active in the paint on the offensive and defensive glass. Not afraid to do the work in the interior, rebound and defend. Vanheel showed off ability to step out on the perimeter a bit as he seems to be rapidly improving from April to now.
