College scouts should be intrigued with Kyson's length, mobility, and three-level scoring. At the Sanford tryouts this spring, Keller was the best athlete in the gym, this kid is special. PHD is excited to see what he can do in grassroots ball this spring/summer. Besides being a stud basketball player, Keller is a standout T&F athlete who stars as a high jumper.     The BIG man from Dunseith was an All-Region 3 Player and a walking Double-Double. He is very young for a soph but his numbers do not reflect it (18 ppg, 10 rpg, 3 apg, 1 spg, 2.5 bpg). Nelson is not your traditional BIG man, his ball skills are sharp, his shot is smooth/consistent, and he has a good feel for the game. He is also a gym rat who is also working on his craft. Nelson hoops with [program_tooltip program_id='2075741' first='ND' last='Phenom'] 17U, DeCoteau will get tested every weekend and will be a better player because of it.     "Little Larry" started the last 10 games of the season for the Hawks. OT put up quality numbers as a role player at 8.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 1.2 apg, 50.3 FG%, 35 made 3's at 40 3FG%. Owen keeps lengthening out & his skills/IQ are impressive. OT showed off his O-power late in the season with 5 triples & 17th points in a blowout win over Davies. He made the move over the Phenom for club ball. PHD is interested in seeing if Terras can prove this spring/summer that he is a top talent in the 2027 class.     He was an All-Region 1 performer in Class A this season and averaged around 14.5 ppg, 6.2 rpg, 1.5 apg, 2 spg. Easton is a talented southpaw who had a very nice showing for the Squirrels. At 6'4", he is a tough matchup because of his aggressive slashing, athletic finishing & outside shooting. I like him in the 3point catch-n-shoot game & he is quick to take advantage of a sloppy close-out. Holland can finish from all angles, he will also score w/ his R-handed at the hoop when needed.     One of the few players who moved up the ranks, but did not have an impact on the varsity level. However, PHD has a hunch that he will be a breakout player next season for the Magi. In the past year, Drew has gotten bigger/stronger and shown that he can get to the rim consistently at the JV level in the WDA. On D, Jordan can switch onto bigger players and hold his own. He is a versatile baller on both ends of the floor. Drew is also a talented and impactful perimeter shooter.     A winner & gamer. Wyatt & the Knights won 25 games this year & finished 3rd at State. The young Mr. Weekley was selected as an All-District, All-Region, All-State baller, and also named to the All-Tournament Team at State! It is rare to see a soph get All-State. 13.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 3.5 apg, 63 FG%. 38 3FG%, 81 FT%. He hoops w/ exceptional bball instincts. He is balling w/ SSA Black this spring/summer, I am intrigued to see how Wyatt looks w/ the players from the bigger school. I am expecting Weekley to thrive.     He was a vital piece of the puzzle for the Knights, who won 25 games and took 3rd Place at the Class B State Tournament. Nolan was named to the loaded All-Disrict 6 & All-Region 3 Team. Multiple people have called him the best defender in Class B. Nolan is a downhill player who finishes extremely well. He also plays well with his back to the basket, gets after the boards, and is deadly in open court/transition situations. Think of Mr. Schmidt as a 6"3" Tyler Hansbrough!     Had a nice season for a soph, received a ton of attention from opposing defenses, but still produced. Batke was selected to the All-Region 4 Team in Class A. I am impressed w/ his strength, persistence, toughness & aggressiveness. Batke has little trouble splitting a double team & scoring through contact. Keaton averaged around 13 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg, 2 spg. He is a strong & skilled downhill slasher who will get you buckets w/ creativity. PHD is expecting a big offseason from Batke.     He was named to the All-EDC Team. Baumgartner averaged 14.4 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 1.6 apg, 33.6 FG%, and drilled 43 triples at 31 3FG%. Baumgarter's length & size are intriguing, he causes matchup problems on the wing. He and the Deacons did not get many wins this hoops season but Tommy gained valuable experience in the EDC and learned what it takes to be "the man". Tommy is an all-around athlete and a multi-sport stud who thrives on the golf course.     I knew he was a shooter, but I did not expect Kash to be this good this early. He easily could have been selected as an All-Region 1 Player. He averaged around 14.4 ppg. Lorenz is great in space & understands the game like a savvy 5th-year college player. He was asked to take big shots in big games & has sets run his way. I like his floater-game, 3pt shot & creativity. The CC staff trusts him & is confident in Kash's future. Lorenz is devoted to the sport he loves & is constantly honing his craft.     He was the 6th man for the Roughriders who won 17 games and played in the State Tournament. 5.2 pp,g, 2.7 rpg, 1.6 apg, 40.4 FG%, 22 made triples at 39 3FG%. Resse will take on a scoring/playmaking role next season. I am intrigued by his size, strength, effort/hustle, versatility, skills, and shooting. He succeeded as a role player, now it is time to take the next step. Walters will be running with the top SSA squad, I am excited to see what he can do this spring/summer.     He gained invaluable experience while starting as a soph point guard in the EDC. James also helped get the Roughriders to the State Tournament. He put up some nice numbers at 13.5 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 3 apg, 39.3 FG%, 53 made triples at 34 3FG%. Schindler plays bigger than his listed 5'10" height, I am impressed w/ his finishing ability as a smaller guard. I am intrigued by his ball-handling skills, smarts & calm demeanor on the floor. As the PG he can set the table but also get you buckets.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/2027ranks.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/2027ranks.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-2247969" /></a></figure>
