<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are some of the standouts that we have recently reviewed video of and came away impressed? We break that down for you now!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To subscribe.... use the holiday code of "ryanjames30" to get a discount! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2848335' first='Brady' last='Anderson'] of Centennial (2028). Anderson has had a heck of a start to his sophomore season. Brady scored nine in a loss to Roseville to open the year but then helped the Cougars defeat Elk River 72-61 with a 20 point, ten rebound double-double. The 6'6 forward hit a three as a part of his six of nine shooting and sunk seven of his nine foul shot attempts. Strong start to the season. Senior standout [player_tooltip player_id='1560850' first='Tristan' last='Hanson'] led the way with 28 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2886250' first='Jake' last='Bowden'] of Trinity (2028). This guard is going to be a pest for the next three years. He is a speedy defender that can pressure the ball but also wreak havoc in help defense with the deflection, steal or double. A lefty that has a nice touch scoring in double figures to start the season for his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Justice Demarco of East view (2027). First of all, all name team. One of the more unique and memorable names that will stick with you as it's cool to say. More importantly this is a 6'4 scoring wing with some very good potential. DeMarco moves well and has some developing body control with experience that has allowed him to make some eye opening plays already this season. Very good player in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2119596' first='Cooper' last='Fahning'] of Eden Prairie (2026). I will believe until the last day of the school year that there is a place at a scholarship school - could be Juco, D2 or NAIA - for Cooper. The 6'7/6'8 big man is a really good defender on and off the ball. Has the lateral feet to move with all bigs and he can work off the ball screen well against guards. Very good contesting and blocking shots in the paint in help/support. runs well and plays hard whichy is why he will average double figure boards plus score 14 or 15 a night for the Eagles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2815445' first='Levi' last='Hopp'] of New Ulm (2027). [player_tooltip player_id='2121332' first='Deron' last='Russell'] and Waseca were expected to be the favorites versus New Ulm and Russell got his 43 but [player_tooltip player_id='2815445' first='Levi' last='Hopp'] was huge for his team scoring 34 to counter Russell. Kevin made six of 11 threes as a part of his 14 of 23 scoring run. A natural, confident scorer that stands 6-foot-3 and wants the ball, wants to be the go to guy. Looks like a prospect that could earn a scholarship over the next dozen months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569247' first='Jiech' last='Jiech'] of St. Cloud Tech (2027). This is a 6'4 junior scoring wing that has really grabbed attention quickly this year. My first though is that Jiech really uses his length well. Really well. Can shoot over the top and hit about four threes against Alexandria but scored the rest of the 29 points using that length to extend over the top mid-lane or at the rim touching in shots. Also had five assists and nine rebounds in the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2052733' first='Ben' last='Sieben'] of St. Paul Academy (2026). Your work against Sieben is never done. He will ball fake you, pivot on you, attack you and find space to move the ball to, the work is never done. Also is a good finisher going to the rim using the glass against contesting help. Made 10 of 13 shots for a 24 point game against St. Croix Lutheran recently while also dishing out four assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kevin Williams III of Wabasha-Kellogg (2028). A 6'2 guard that helped his team get to 2-1 last night with a win over Pacelli. As strong athlete with speed that was able to get to the rim and score on balance but also hit a couple perimeter jumpers to get to his 25 points for the night. Very good usage of the ball fake into his attack and score on four threes overall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
