Prep Hoops Dakotas has released an updated look at the North Dakota 2029 Prospect Rankings, and as always, a new update brings a new set of storylines. Some players held steady, others are inching their way toward the top, and a few have made a leap that simply can't be overlooked.
In this article, we're honing in on the prospects whose stock is trending in the right direction. These are the players who put in the work this spring, caught the eye of evaluators, and did enough to move up the board. Whether it was a big-time performance at a tournament, an expanded role with their club team, or just a more confident and refined game overall, this group has found a way to stand out from the rest.
Here's a look at who is on the rise in the North Dakota 2029 class.
-Everyone that sees him play has good things to say, Chayce has serious upside -Noteworthy length, major shooting threat, all-around skilled, a 3-level bucket
-Long & lanky wing, southpaw shooter who can do a bit of everything well
-Solid spring season, Saints need him to be a real player this coming winter
Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers.
Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.
-Shot the lights out this spring, smooth & effortless stroke, heady ball player -Multiple people consider this Blue Jay the top 3-point shooter in the '29 Class
-Played well in club ball, impressed me this summer, will he impact varsity this winter?
