Rolyns Aligbe Rolyns Aligbe 6'9" | C Minnehaha Academy | 2023 State MN of Minnesota Spartans (6’9 C of Minnehaha Academy). Aligbe is playing as an unsigned big and doing some great work for the Spartans. He had games of 20 points and 13 rebounds as well as 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Rise event down in Phoenix this past weekend.
Isiah Ayala Isiah Ayala 6'6" | SF Minnesota Prep | 2025 MN of Real Phenom Ivan (6’6 PF of Minneapolis Edison). Isaiah grabbed our attention this March in the playoffs and he continues to grab our attention. Had a great weekend using his length and agility in the paint and he’s starting to really disrupt things defensively. Has so much room to fill out physically as well.
Kaden Braxton Kaden Braxton 6'2" | CG Shakopee | 2024 State MN of Minnesota Crossfire (6’2 Guard of Shakopee). Braxton led Crossfire to a three win weekend in Indy highlighted by a 25 point, 13 rebound performance. He also scored 16 points against a top group of players from Australia finishing off what was a highly impressive weekend. Braxton is a tough guard that has to be highly on MIAC radars right now.
Brandon Hrncir Brandon Hrncir 6'8" | PF Farmington | 2024 State MN of Minnesota Fury (6’7 PF of Farmington). Had three double figure scoring games including games of 16 and 15 helping the Fury breeze through the weekend in Kansas City going 4-0 in the Recruit Look event. Brandon has had two very nice weekends of basketball so far, off to a great start.
Kyle Jorgensen Kyle Jorgensen 6'9" | C Minneapolis Washburn | 2024 State #308 Nation MN of Minnesota Comets (6’9 C of Minneapolis Washburn). Jorgensen had a great weekend in NY2LA’s open event with three double figure games highlighted by dominating the paint with 28 points against the George Hill Unsigned team.
Grayson Okoronkwo Grayson Okoronkwo 6'2" | SG Blake | 2024 State MN of Real Phenom (6’2 Guard of Blake). A name that has really stood out this spring has been Grayson Okorokow. He’s getting his chance to get consistent quality looks in bulk and is taking advantage of them. HIs transition push looks outstanding, his jumper has been on, and the ability to attack and finish with either hand is as good as I have seen from a guard in recent years.
Trever Michael Schauer of Minnesota Crossfire (6’3 Wing of Lester Prairie). Talk about consistent, Trever went for 16 points/7 rebounds, then 14 points/8 rebonds with four threes, 16 points/5 rebounds and then finished with 10 points against the team from Australia.
Jerome Williams Jr Jerome Williams Jr 6'0" | PG Rock Creek Christian Academy | 2024 MD of Minnesota Spartans (5’10 PG of Minnehaha Academy). Jerome led his team to 3-2 in Phoenix with one game where he hit 5 of 6 threes, had a 21 point and 8 assist game against a team from Idaho, and had 12 points and 7 assists in another contest.
