2027 Rankings Update: Class AA Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A couple of the better guards in this class lead this update!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2527108' first='Jaxson' last='Austin'] of Albany (6'3).&nbsp; Austin has grown in a number of ways starting with the physical growth to 6'3 and continuing with being a quicker and more agile guard.&nbsp; He can play both guard spots at a level that was good enough for a final four team in state and he could be one of the best guard prospects in 17u this season.&nbsp; Scored 16 plus points a game this year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2569255' first='Logan' last='Duis'] of Concordia Academy (6'3).&nbsp; Duis is a great fit for Select coming off the bench, getting up the floor and catching and releasing or finishing in transition.&nbsp; He scored 15 a game for an up and coming Concordia team that will be very good next season including a 32 point game, and he just had ten in the title game last weekend for Select.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2635714' first='Tim' last='Holmes'] of Hiawatha Collegiate (6'5).&nbsp; Holmes scored 16 points a game this winter and is a player that I think is going to take a massive jump as a senior in terms of scoring production.&nbsp; Good sized big wing/forward, uses good strength and agility at his size to score with good percentages.&nbsp; Really good finisher in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140577' first='Carson' last='Kuchenbecker'] of Holy Family (6'6).&nbsp; From the time I saw him last spring, to the winter games averaging 12 points and eight boards, to his play last weekend, Carson looks like a much improved player.&nbsp; A lot of it is the agility at his size with a bigger motor getting to consistent results.&nbsp; Could have a really nice senior year and be a good D3 prospect.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140680' first='Owen' last='Roschen'] of Goodhue (6'0). Owen played his role all season for the second best team in Class AA as a very steady player.&nbsp; But what we saw this past weekend as the lead playmaker for his team in St. Cloud was another level of play with the ball than we were aware of.&nbsp; This is a young man that can play point guard for a college basketball team some day.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
