Dayee covers so much ground around the rim and his length combined with quickness enables him to swallow up opponents. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DY-mmcPiZA1/?img_index=2 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2419994' first='Carter' last='Cupito'] - The 2030 Minnehaha Academy guard from MN Falcons/Phelps and [program_tooltip program_id='2075496' first='Grassroots' last='Sizzle'] MHC team showed his speed, quickness, and improved strength all weekend long getting his team into the title game. Cupito has good vision as a passer from the point, credit probably due to his ability as a quarterback on the football field, which probably plays into his competitive drive and toughness. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DZAZnKaDjcE/?img_index=1 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2454248' first='Elijah' last='Christenson'] - Christenson is a six-foot-seven-inch 2029 forward from Rogers who plays with [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Conyers. While Christenson still gravitates more to the perimeter his height and length give him a good advantage defensively blocking shots and getting deflections. An able ball handler in space and in transition Christenson gives similar sized forwards issues. With his height Christenson easily sees over opponents when shooting 3-pointers from the outside.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DZBAm3NiWf7/?img_index=1 </div></figure>   <p>Ty Barman - Barman a six-foot-five-inch 2029 forward from Ray high school in North Dakota is the top 2029 football player in his class, and he plays wide receiver. To give you another idea of Barman's athleticism he won the ND State High Jump championship. Barman runs the floor incredibly well for his size, and he gives opponents fits with his size around the rim.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DY9nkx4OFLY/ </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2353796' first='Jaylen' last='Greer'] - The six-foot-two-inch Two Rivers 2029 point guard Greer is the lead ball handler and creator for LEAD Sports Academy, the 2026 15U bracket champions. Greer has the ability to get his teammates involved and run the show from the top, and has for LEAD the last two seasons. As a shooter Greer has good ability from beyond the arc and in the championship game against MN Falcons he showed his ability to get to the basket and finish.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/SECOND-2.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/06/SECOND-2.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-3658862" /></a></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2nd Team</h2>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2844671' first='Caleb' last='Koenen'] - Koenen is a six-foot-five-inch 2029 wing from Montevideo and plays with SW MN Stars. Koenen has shown off his ability to run in the open floor, and finish at the basket consistently while also shooting from the perimeter. In the half-court operating with the ball as a secondary ball handler Koenen has shown a knack for getting to spots to make plays happen and his length and height make him a threat blocking shots on the defensive end.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DZDK7v_mmlK/?img_index=1 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2853260' first='Beckham' last='Nelson'] - The six-foot-one-inch 2029 Minnetonka guard playing for Bearstail really showed off his aggressive ability with the ball going downhill at defenders and finishing through contact. Nelson plays the game at good pace with or without the ball, and can be a scorer, or creator within the offense. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2419997' first='Gio' last='Horton'] - The Apple Valley state champion runner-up from the 2025-26 season Horton showed his ability to create shots off the dribble and shoot from range in the championship game against LEAD. The 2029 guard from MN Falcons/[program_tooltip program_id='2075496' first='Grassroots' last='Sizzle'] MHC really helped keep them in the game for the most part with his shooting. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DZDF3Cuji0q/?img_index=1 </div></figure>   <p>Thomas Covert - The six-foot-two-inch 2029 [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Antl and Wayzata guard had a good tournament overall scoring, playing team defense and sharing the ball throughout. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2831620' first='Kyle' last='Joyner'] - Joyner a six-foot 2029 guard for LEAD Sports Academy and is from Hopkins was great for LEAD in the championship game scoring and playing defense. Joyner shot the ball from the perimeter exceptionally, drove from the perimeter to the basket and scored when he wanted and took on the hardest defensive assignment. Joyner looks stronger and wider than he did last summer and seems to be growing into his body.</p>   <p>Notable [player_tooltip player_id='3142621' first='Tyson' last='Bridges'], [player_tooltip player_id='2905843' first='Cody' last='Woitel-Anschutz'], [player_tooltip player_id='2782368' first='Wesley' last='Guanzini'], [player_tooltip player_id='2768036' first='Jemierre' last='Davis'], [player_tooltip player_id='2463782' first='Jevon' last='Foote'], Eli Thompson, Arnulfo Flores, King Willsun (2028 plays 15U), [player_tooltip player_id='2827504' first='Oakley' last='Anderson']</p>
