Against a pair of talented Class AAAA teams, Keishaun impressed on both ends of the floor for TG. He established a role off the bench for Totino last season as a scrappy defender who could come in and provide a spark on that end of the floor. Keishaun still has that same level of intensity defensively, but the offensive skillset is starting to catch up too. Playing off the ball Rolle impressed by knocking down a high percentage of three point looks throughout the day. That included hitting the game winning three at the buzzer to knock off Maple Grove in game two.

The Crimson got the initial lead but one of the guys that helped bring TG back later in the first half was Rolle. Keishaun hit two threes, made a very difficult twisting lay-in in transition, and created a couple scores with his attack and kick, all in half one. The biggest first half basket was the attack to the right where Rolle completed a lay-up scoring over the huge reach of Thelen.

Down the stretch of half two, Rolle hit a big transition three, an attack and had two assists for scores off of turnovers from MG that he forced with his defensive efforts.

Then the big play….. TG had a free throw missed that was tapped out and it was Rolle who sunk the game winning three at the buzzer. It was Rolle’s fourth three of the game and 8th field goal make overall. Outstanding effort.

Between Shay and Rolle, the Polars had a nightmare of a time trying to defend the paint from the attack, and getting back on defense to slow the TG transition. Rolle’s quick burst off the corner turn led to three scores and about three assists, and even when the defense moved with him, Rolle got deep to complete plays.

Keishaun might just be the best under the radar lead guard in the state of Minnesota. He’s really learned how to play and has been battle tested in practice at TG making him a better player, but he also plays with Malachi and Shay who are scholarship guys. And he had a fantastic season with Minnesota Gold but I don’t think he was in front of the local coaches quite enough.

I think this fall and into the winter, college coaches should get a look at the speed and quickness that this young man plays with. Has high, high level defensive pressure ability and teams are going to fear he, Shay and Hill pressuring them all season.

But Rolle can also score, and he can also run a team. I think he is one of the best under the radar players in the state.

Keishaun Rolle Keishaun Rolle 6'1" | PG Totino-Grace | 2027 State MN – The 2027 Totino-Grace six-foot guard playing with D1 Minnesota Gold in Omaha helped push them to victory Friday with a 19 point, 4 assist and 4 rebound game against All O.NE. Rolle can defend at the point of attack and run the offense as a point guard as well as play without the ball. Rolle has stepped up his facilitating this summer and has improved as a finisher going to the rim.

Keishaun left his mark on the game in Thursday night’s matchup against Osseo. He is an extremely quick guard, using his speed to get to the rim on drives and put pressure on the defense in transition. His quickness demands defensive attention, opening up catch-and-shoot three-point opportunities, which he converted efficiently on Thursday night. On the defensive end, Keishaun is a pest who applies strong ball pressure and consistently disrupts the opposing offense.

Keishaun hasn’t gotten many varsity minutes this season, but with Malachi Hill Malachi Hill 6'0" | PG Totino-Grace | 2027 State MN and Shay Jackson Shay Jackson 6'0" | PG Totino-Grace | 2027 State MN both out, TG needed someone to step up against Richfield. Rolle did just that, coming up with some huge plays defensively. Shortly after checking into the game, Keishaun hit a three, drew a charge, forced a tie-up on the floor, and deflected a long pass that may have ended up in a lay-up for Richfield. The 6’1 guard was all over the floor defensively, pressuring the ball hard and putting himself in the right spots off the ball to come up with stops.

Keishaun was one of the standout defenders from this past weekend. Combining elite quickness with a 6’+ frame out on the perimeter, Keishaun was a nightmare for opposing point guards. In a matchup with D1 Minnesota 15u, Rolle was applying constant pressure on the ball, and was able to come up with a number of steals to get his team out in transition. Keishaun has the speed in the open floor to get all the way to the rim and extend to finish with a defender trying to chase him down. His motor never seemed to stop defensively, and his play on both ends was key in the win for D1 Minnesota Gold on Sunday.
