Gaustad is a high level rebounder who grabs double digit boards nearly every contest who has a solid face-up game with extended range. At the Prep Hoops National Championship in Indy to finish the AAU year in front of North Dakota head coach Gaustad put up games of 18 points and 15 rebounds, 11 points and 15 boards with 6 blocks and an 18 point, 12 rebound and 3 block game.</p>   <p>Offers: North Dakota, University of Sioux Falls, Concordia St. Paul, Northern State, Winona State, Michigan Tech, St. Cloud State</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/2079922959280423299 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140590' first='Cody' last='Benson'] - The six-foot-four-inch 2027 wing from Spectrum Benson showed his scoring proficiency and productivity for Titans Stone. In Indy in July against Fury Goring Benson hit five triples on his way to 21 points while grabbing 7 boards and against Heat GVR the game prior 16 points and 6 boards. Other games of note, 4 of 5 3-pointers and 23 points against WI Playmakers at the Comets GPA and 16 points on 7 of 9 shooting against SW MN Stars.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2126461' first='Cal' last='Spencer'] - Spencer is a five-foot-eleven-inch 2027 guard that was Spring Lake Park's 2nd leading scorer in 2025-26. Playing for Titans, Stone Spencer continued to showcase his deep 3-point shooting ability, playing with and without the ball, and being a lead guard when needed. Spencer can create off the dribble for others in ball screen action. At the Prep Hoops 2K26 in a game Titans Stone gave Fury Goring 1 of their 4 only losses on the year Spencer scored 12 points on 10 shots while grabbing 5 boards and dishing 5 assists.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2417091' first='Isiah' last='Boyer'] - Boyer is a five-foot-eleven-inch 2027 guard from Becker that was a high percentage 3-pointer shooter in 2025-26. Boyer is a quick guard, a player that also plays football so although not very tall is a tough guard. Boyer, more of a scorer than creator, can throw the ball around to teammates and the ball doesn't stick when he has it.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2402042' first='Akan' last='Berisso'] - Berisso is a six-foot 2027 guard from Maple Grove that plays hard, can lead from the point, solid passer, and active defender. Berisso is quick laterally and good reach that enables him at times to get blocks. Berisso can get by defenders for scores as he's an adequate finisher like going 7 for 8 from the floor versus a Sanford Sports ND team in June. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Connor McDevitt - McDevitt is a six-foot-six-inch 2027 wing from Burnsville that got to showcase his deep shooting ability and driver from the perimeter as scorer with Titans Stone. McDevitt showed he could get 3-pointers up in volume like in Indy shooting 4 for 7 from beyond the arc for 12 points. McDevitt is a good mover on the floor running up the sideline and his length makes him a threat to block shots. </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/RyanJamesMN/status/2076008550980083910 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2140637' first='Jayden' last='Anunda'] - Anunda is a six-foot-four-inch 2027 Burnsville wing that is a pretty solid athlete and guy that can put the ball on the floor and go at the rim. When in transition and having open space you better get in front of Anunda as a defender otherwise is going right to the hoop. </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/AnundaJayden/status/2061565328925085901 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Zack Krusemark - Krusemark is a six-foot-five-inch 2027 stretch forward from Stillwater. Krusemark showed a bit of his shooting touch late in the year in Indy with a 3 for 4 3-point shooting game scoring 13 points and the middle of May against Fury Goring he hit 3 of 3 3-pointers and in June put together a 12 point game with 5 of 7 shooting. Krusemark is an active interior rebounder and has solid size.</p>
