<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What sophomore in Minnesota is having the best month so far? We give you a list of ten candidates now!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2557528' first='Ichima' last='Idoko'] of DeLaSalle. The 6'7 Islander forward is averaging 14.5 points a game for the second ranked team in Class AAA. Last fall Idoko added offers from UNLV, Kansas State and Kansas City. Top player in the class in terms of potential, he scored 15 points against Maple Grove. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2397563' first='Thomas' last='Jordan'] of Buffalo. The star of the Legacy in 16u is at it again. He has Buffalo at 5-0 so far this year and the 6'4 wing is scoring 23 points a game. Jordan just put up 29 points in a win over Sartell. Buffalo might be making an appearance in the Class AAAA top ten a year earlier than expected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2387331' first='Grant' last='King'] of Caledonia. As the lone player returning from the main Warrior rotation last year, King was expected to be leading his team through a rebuilding season. Instead, Grant is scoring nearly 20 points a contest leading his team into the top ten of Class AA with a 5-1 record. Opened the season with a 25 point game in a win over Rushford-Peterson and then had 26 in two different games. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2394170' first='Alex' last='Loos'] of Goodhue. Goodhue is the number one ranked team in Class AA basketball right now with an undefeated record. Loos had 30 points in a win over a really good Cannon Falls team and is scoring nearly 19 points a contest on a team with four players averaging double figures a night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2397796' first='Judah' last='Mitchell'] of Bloomington Kennedy. The Eagle guard has scored 23 points a game through eight contests and it all started with 27 points scored in the opening season win against Randolph. Mitchell was also the recent difference in one point wins over Brooklyn Center and Highland Park when he scored 22 and 24 points respectively. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560534' first='Tre' last='Moore'] of Hopkins.

Brooks is a big part in the Bombers being 5-1 and pushing for the top ten in Class AA. He is averaging a team high 20.2 points a game highlighted by maybe the sophomore game of the year so far when Brooks scored 33 in a big win over Class AAA top ten ranked Stewartille. Also had 24 in the win over Byron.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2846686' first='Charlie' last='Walker'] of Hayfield.

Last year Hayfield was an eight win team but after eight games they have already picked up five wins (5-3 on the year). Walker had seven threes drop in an 11 point win over Schaeffer Academy when he scored 39 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560499' first='Kevin' last='Wilson Jr.'] of Tartan.
