Top Seniors I Watched in December

<p>The New Year will be here before we know it. I thought it would be fun to look back at the month of December and highlight the top seniors that I watched. We have a mix of North Dakota and South Dakota Players. In ND we have A and B standouts. In SD we have AA, A, and B standouts to look at. Look below for the best seniors I watched in December.</p> <h4><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Top 12th-Graders in the 12th Month</strong></span></h4> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812217" first="Andrew" last="Walter"] |6-3 G| Harrisburg</strong></p> <ul> <li>Impressive athlete </li> <li>Scary slasher, dynamic in transition, playmaker </li> </ul> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812215" first="Ashton" last="Tjaden"] |6-4 PF| Beresford</strong></p> <ul> <li>Scores from 15' and around the basket</li> <li>Patient, creative, strong, disciplined, physical</li> </ul> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="968186" first="Bennett" last="Schwenn"] |6-2 G/F| Milbank</strong></p> <ul> <li>Athletic slasher</li> <li>Consistent finisher at the cup</li> </ul> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812231" first="Brett" last="Limke"] |6-1 PG| West Fargo</strong></p> <ul> <li>Cool customer under pressure</li> <li>One of the best shooters in ND</li> </ul> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812232" first="Connor" last="Trahan"] |6-4 SG| Bismarck Century</strong></p> <ul> <li>Pure shooter</li> <li>Makes teams pay if they leave him open beyond the arc</li> </ul> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1356808" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/haydenrues-crop-2914x1914-1640927422-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="812212" first="Hayden" last="Ruesink"] |6-5 PF| Sioux Valley</strong></p> <ul> <li>Very strong and skilled</li> <li>Scores from all 3-levels</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Isaac-Cody3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1212301" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Isaac-Cody3-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1135520" first="Isaac" last="Cody"] |6-4 G| Fargo North</strong></p> <ul> <li>Shooting a very high 3-point percentage</li> <li>Excellent fundamentals</li> </ul> <p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1356806" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/jaceflasher-crop-750x493-1640927323-300x197.png" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1133050" first="Jace" last="Friesz"] | 6-3 F| Flasher</strong></p> <ul> <li>Double-Double Machine</li> <li>Mandan Holiday Tournament All-Tourney Team</li> </ul> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="968154" first="Joe" last="Uttecht"] |6-1 SG| Sioux Falls Washington</strong></p> <ul> <li>Textbook shooting form</li> <li>Momentum-changing 3-point shooter</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/51-Kaleb-Larson-crop-2500x1642-1633360440.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1300377" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/51-Kaleb-Larson-crop-2500x1642-1633360440-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a></p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1133064" first="Kaleb" last="Larson"] |6-3 SG| West Fargo Sheyenne</strong></p> <ul> <li>Super deep shooting range</li> <li>Attacking and getting to the FT-line</li> </ul> <p><strong>Landon Geary |6-2 G| Elk-Point Jefferson</strong></p> <ul> <li>Went for 17 when I watched, great outside shooter</li> <li>Smooth shooter &amp;
