<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2979877' first='Jack' last='Bottoms'] of Hibbing (6'2). Jack is a good shooter that also sets up his shots very well, is good off the ball and a very good rebounders. Bottoms scored 17 points per game with seven boards earning all league player. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2417091' first='Isiah' last='Boyer'] of Becker (5'11). Boyer was a key piece of the Bulldogs last winter as their first guard off the bench and he was a strong role player for the Comets. How? Ball pressuring defense as well as smart passing off the strong attack are his calling cards plus Boyer is pound for pound one of the tougher players. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2874892' first='Izaiah' last='Davis'] of St. Paul Highland Park (6'3). Davis is a strong wing scorer that gave Highland Park nearly ten points a game last season as a sophomore. He scored for the Scots in the paint, he hit threes, and Davis was really good at finding space from 17 feet to six feet for his mid-range jumper. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2832757' first='Kaiden' last='Elphage'] of St. Paul Johnson (5'8). An all league guard because of his defensive pressure and because of Kaiden's attacking nature, Elphage should step into an even bigger role with Pride moving over to Tartan. Kaiden was an all league talent as a sophomore on a top 15 level team in AAA. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2979781' first='Tyler' last='Holz'] of Northfield (6'5). Tyler is a frontcourt player that saw time last year scoring a couple times a game plus he rebounds strong, is a good defender, and he has a very good court IQ as he enters his upperclassmen years. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Terence Horton II of North St. Paul (5'10). One of the quickest guards in the metro, Horton attacked for 11-12 points a game last year and pressured defenses well. He is the top returning scorer for NSP this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140555' first='Arjun' last='Jain'] of Holy Angels (5'9). Jain is one of the best shooters in the class and he showed that scoring 11 points a game last year followed by a 16u season and a good showcase performance. The range on the jumper and the consistency in the touch ranks with the best in the state. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2417344' first='Joe' last='Larson'] of Zimmerman (6'0). Larson scored 8-9 a game last season and then had a solid season with the Comets. Agile players that can be used at either guard spot for his team. Part of a solid Zimmerman junior group. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2840811' first='Jayden' last='Meister'] of Marshall (6'6). Jayden is one of the hottest up and coming names in the 2027 class in both football and basketball. He's 6'6, long, and agile which allowed him to be an explosive finisher, a good rebounder, and he has the chance to be a special defender. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2810623' first='Sawyer' last='Senst'] of Hermantown (6'6). Sawyer averaged a double-double last year at 15 points and ten rebounds a contest. He was an all league player and one of the toughest guys in the paint for his opponents to battle with. Stepping into a bigger role in scoring, in touching off the ball screen, and even more back to the basket finishes. </p>
