Isaiah Asuma Isaiah Asuma 5'11" | SG Cherry | 2027 State MN of Cherry (6’0 guard, 2027). Isaiah had a fantastic game against RTR today. I’ve been able to see Cherry several times this year and Isaiah has really become a reliable defender. He’s a quality shooter but now he’s become excellent at this level in transition too. Scored his 26 points on 11 of 13 shooting.
Dothan Ijadimbola Dothan Ijadimbola 6'6" | SF Totino Grace | 2026 State MN of Totino-Grace (6’6 forward, 2026). Dothan had a big second half going at the rim scoring with the short jumper, the euro step, and the power move. And then did all of them again. Gave Isaiah Johnson Isaiah Johnson 6'7" | SF Totino-Grace | 2024 State #135 Nation MN another scoring option to go to to take pressure off the senior and Dothan came through with 14 points and six boards.
Christian Wiggins Christian Wiggins 6'4" | SG Wayzata | 2026 State MN of Wayzata (6’4 guard, 2026). Wiggins had some big early jumpers go down but for me everything was about his defensive efforts on Joe Mitchell (along with teammates). I thought Wiggins was excellent on defense and it was another example of how quickly he has grown as a player.
