The New Class AAAA Coaches and the Player they will help

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Of the 51 new coaches in Minnesota high school basketball this year, six of them are in Class AAAA (6 of 62 teams). Who are those new coaches and who is a player they might help? We break that down for you now!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3756617,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9838f8a43f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Coach: Kyle Kaupa</strong>. Kyle is a former Rosemount standout basketball player that has been an assistant at Minnetonka and East Ridge for several years before moving to New Prague to take over their program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carter is a 6'2, 180 pound top returning scorer who put up ten points a game last season. He is the [program_tooltip program_id='2075965' first='Trojans' last=''] top returning scorer AND he's a top 250 high school football recruit in Minnesota at QB/DB. Kaupa has worked with really good players for his entire coaching career and should help Carter take the step towards being a top scoring option for his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2441551"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9838f8a443a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Coach: </strong>Jeremy Post. Post had a very successful career coaching the girls team at White Bear Lake winning ten section championships and six conference titles in twenty seasons. This is a coach who took his team to state every other season on average! Seems like a great hire for the boys program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Post is the type of coach who I could see helping a playmaking, heady guard like [player_tooltip player_id='2441551' first='William' last='McQuay'] take the next step. McQuay is a good defender, he is good with the attack, can shoot it, and overall is a good all around player. Post should help McQuay take a great advantage of his versatile abilities. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568101"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9857ad8bfb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Coach: </strong>Isaiah Robinson. Robinson goes from Two Rivers to Eagan and I think it's a great move for the Eagles. Isaiah is one of the best up and coming coaches in the state and he gets a lot out of his guys. He did well for Hoop Habits 16s and while it was rough at Two Rivers last year, I think that experience will really help him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching Hoop Habits, I thought Robinson got a lot out of his best players and I think Knox is a 6'6 frontcourt player that could have a great senior year playing for him. Knox was on the road so much in 17u that few local coaches saw him, and with next to nobody from Minnesota committing to schools outside of the five/six area these days, there was little chance for Knox to be seen by those locals that are giving opportunity. But with Knox being the top returning scorer/player for the Cats, I think he could have a big senior season that draws eyes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3756696,"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9857ad8c01c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>New Coach: </strong>Neil Swanson. The long time Osseo assistant takes over at STMA who needs a new direction after a winless season. Swanson has 25 years of coaching experience not just in boys basketball, but in several sports. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bohm is a playmaking point guard that is the top returning scorer for the Knights at over 11 points a game. Swanson has coached a lot of really good guards at Osseo over the years and he will bring that experience to lead Bohm. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2353796"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9857ad8c06c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Coach: </strong>Aaron Turner. Turner has been the head coach at White Bear Lake in recent years and now he moves over to Two Rivers as their head man. Turner has been coaching as an assistant or head man for 15 seasons. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaylen is one of the best young talents in the sophomore class and he scored nine points a game last season. Greer had a strong year in 15u as well and with five of the top six Two Rivers players no longer on the team, Greer is in a great position to be the main option taking Turner's team into the next era. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2524650"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a9857ad8c0bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Coach: </strong>James Ware. Ware has been one of the most successful coaches in Minnesota in recent years. Ware has always worked in the Hopkins school district and now he moves over from PC to take over the head coaching position from legend Ken Novak Jr.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kwatamah scored 17 points a game for Osseo last year as his quick first step and rapid transition speed have been tough for many players to stop. Kwatamah was coached by Ware the second part of his sophomore year at Park Center and into that summer. The Ware style should allow Silikpoh to flourish. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
