Barger's scoring ability off the dribble in the half-court and in transition were keys to his offensive production while also supplementing with post-ups. Barger showcased a stronger ability to shoot from the perimeter and some ability to create for others with a 3 assists per game average. Barger is a solid defender while collecting one steal per game and one block.</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/2033338704689832331 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2125730' first='Ben' last='Lindesmith'] - Lindesmith is a five-foot-eleven-inch guard from Mayer Lutheran that averaged 18 points, 4 assists and 2 steals per game. Lindesmith has deep 3-point shooting range and he can get his own shot off the dribble from the point of attack. Attacks the hoop strongly and moves it well around the perimeter.</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/lindesmith_ben/status/2033332360888860889 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1819128' first='Bryce' last='Gaustad'] - The six-foot-eight-inch 2027 Anoka forward is a big number rebounder and as a weakside defender, good shot blocker. Those numbers showed up for Gaustad over the season for his first season at 4A with 12.8 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. Gaustad operates well at the high-post and has enough ball skills to get mid-range and 3-point shots off from that spot on the floor. </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/BryceGaustad/status/2033336433763549550 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140617' first='Geno' last='Ward'] - Ward is a five-foot-ten-inch 2027 guard from Holy Family and [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Goring that averaged 14.4 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 41% from beyond the arc. Ward fits the mold of a traditional point guard who is a really good outside shooter plus he can play off the ball. Despite size Ward works for rebounds and is crafty to get steals as he averaged 1.2 per game.</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/GenoWard10/status/2034806483678855623 </div></figure>   <p>Connor McDevitt - McDevitt is a six-foot-six-inch 2027 wing from Burnsville that will play with [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] 17U Stone this spring and summer. McDevitt is a perimeter scorer that uses a bit of athletic ability to score when putting the ball on the floor. His size gives him a good advantage around the basket. McDevitt shoots the ball well as a spot-up perimeter shooter like he did versus Jefferson when he had 7 3-pointers. McDevitt's presence defensively as rim defender can give him a good advantage.</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/cmcdevitt326/status/2034398233506537505 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2362161' first='Matthew' last='Johnson'] - Johnson is a six-foot-five-inch 2027 guard from St. Louis Park that last season was a bubbling prospect who showed ability that just was about to make a significant impression.

The [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Zurn guard scored 20 points per game shooting 48.4% on 2-point shots and 37.6% on 3-pointers. </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/MatthewJohnson8/status/2034295942661247112 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126126' first='Ray' last='Brau'] - The six-foot-seven-inch 2027 Hibbing forward Brau had a double double average season scoring 26 points and grabbing 12 rebounds per game while shooting 63% overall and showing an improvement from beyond the arc at 35%. Brau defended the basket for Hibbing averaging 1.8 blocks and staying active in passing lanes picking up 1.5 steals per game. Brau showed ability as a passer as the main focus in the Hibbing offense averaging 3.8 assists per game. Look for Brau this spring and summer playing with the [program_tooltip program_id='2888391' first='Minnesota' last='Comets'] 17U Elite team.</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/ray_brau/status/2033699174965739950 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2858361' first='John' last='Omoyeni'] - The six-foot-five-inch 2027 Hill-Murray wing had a strong productive season scoring 17 points and grabbing 9 rebounds per game while shooting 55% from the floor overall while shooting 35% from 3. Omoyeni is a power athlete with skills on the perimeter who when matched up with forwards and centers uses quickness and burst to get past them for inside scores. From the perimeter a scorer putting the ball down and driving, as a shooter spotted up and a catch and shooter.</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/john_omoyeni/status/2032529044328071362 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569252' first='Langston' last='Huffman'] - Huffman is a six-foot 2027 guard from Concordia Academy that drilled 107 3-pointers this season while shooting 39% from beyond the arc while averaging 22.3 points per game. Huffman with the large number of 3-pointers still shot a respectable 46% overall from the floor, and showed effort and grit averaging 5.8 rebounds per game.</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/HuffmanLan83007/status/2034422160861843708 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569243' first='Isaac' last='Allen'] - Allen is a six-foot-four-inch wing from West Central Area High School that averaged 13 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while shooting 52% from the floor. Allen is more of a forward than guard that when attacking the basket has enough athletic ability to finish above the rim in the half-court. Allen shows ability as a weak side defender blocking shots and looks like his 3-point shot is coming along better than last fall.</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/IsaacAllen_Hoop/status/2032257025372008747 </div></figure>
