Cook can spot-up in the corners and wings for 3-pointers as well. Cook certainly has guard skills with solid size. Cook can be productive and efficient in transition.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/2054652983053357335 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/IzayahCookk/status/2052764866318893557 </div></figure>    <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140688' first='Rylan' last='Happel'] - Happel is a six-foot 2027 guard from Mounds View that started every game and was all conference in 2025-26. Happel plays the guard position like a traditional point, moves the ball as a passer and gets his team into what they're supposed to be doing. Happel is a crafty playmaker who can also spot-up along the 3-point arc and make jumpers.</p>   <p>Offers: Hamline</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PHCircuit/status/1928196147484520546 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RylanHappel/status/2061474990382272971 </div></figure>    <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140552' first='Andrew' last='Aitkin'] - Aitkin is a six-foot-three-inch 2027 guard from Mounds View who was Mounds VIew's leading scorer at 16 points per game.

When Myszkowski was a sophomore I got a happen chance to see him as the lead guard on a somewhat talented Mayo team. Myszkowski showed lead guard ability and composure beyond his age at the time. Myskowski works well in ball screen actions as a ball handler to work his way to the hoop, pass to open teammates when defenders try to help and as a perimeter shooter.</p>   <p>Offers: Hamline</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/elliot_mysz/status/2076725553109872819 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2382202' first='Owen' last='Ahlbrecht'] - Ahlbrecht is a six-foot-nine-inch Rogers 2027 forward/center. Ahlbrecht is a traditional style big man, back to the basket and majority of offensive production coming at the rim. Defensively he wall's up and rebounds the defensive glass. </p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/OwenAhlbrecht42/status/2076455995430076909 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/FreshCoastHoops/status/2056797116018696630 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140686' first='Quinn' last='Bjerketvedt'] - Bjerketvedt is a six-foot-two-inch 2027 guard from Hopkins. Bjerketvedt moves the ball as an additional ball handler and can shoot it from deep, especially when spotted up playing off drive and kick guards.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140604' first='Eddie' last='Walker'] - 2027 Hopkins forward Walker is a six-foot-six-inch forward that is making noise on the football field as a TE. Walker is a solid athlete, wide shoulders and strong bodied. He rebounds the ball well, and is a hard worker. Walker showed some ability to stretch out the floor with perimeter shooting.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2423423' first='Braylon' last='Backaus'] - Backaus is a six-foot-one-inch 2027 guard from Black River Falls (WI) where he's the leading scorer and also starting QB on the football team. Backaus is an above average or a little better athlete that can finish above the rim. He uses that athleticism defensively to quickly rise up and block shots. Backaus is a strong guard that can bully even bigger wings and use quickness to get by them on drives.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MnHeatGVR/status/2054222931232768264 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Braylon_Backaus/status/2054395166169927958 </div></figure>
