Continue ReadingThis weekend’s Top 250 Expo in Sioux Falls has several wing talents that will be going head to head in skill sessions, halfcourt work, and full court runs. Here are some of the wings attending.
Alex Fiegen (Mpls Roosevelt, 6-2, 2017). Alex was a rotation player the Roughriders a year ago and is coming to the event to show how much he’s improved after a summer of work. We liked him in his role last year, is he ready for a bigger scoring role?
Ethan Freidel (Tea Area, 6-1, 2017). One of the best shooters in the nation, Ethan will be at the Top 250 Expo and it will give us a chance to compare him as a shooter not just in the area, but to also compare him against the best shooters around the country at the other 16 combines.
Noah Freidel (Tea Area, 6-2, 2019). Noah had an outstanding spring and summer. We are looking forward to seeing him against the veteran players and how he does against them. If Noah plays well we can see him finding a good spot on that national Top 250 list for 2019 players. His control of games this summer against some of the best in the area caught us off guard.
Dieng Gatlauk (SF Lincoln, 6-5, 2018). One of the state’s better junior prospects, Dieng has grown in length and of course measured height. The raw talent is there, this event will give us a chance to see how his game has grown.
James King (Sioux City West (IA), 6-2, 2017). King is a top 150 player in Iowa who is approaching the top 125. A state ranking like that in Iowa means he will play college basketball at some level if he wants to. But where? An event like this will give Prep Hoops an idea.
Mitchell Larson (Fargo Davies, 6-3, 2019). Mitch is one of the elite sophomores in North Dakota and many feel that right now he could be the best. That argument is for another day and right now it’s not that important. What is important is that Larson is one of the toughest match-ups in North Dakota and he’s just getting starter.
Cliff McCray (Sioux City West (IA), 6-1, 2019). McCray is a top 75 sophomore in the state of Iowa in their recent rankings as he came in at number 66. Cliff will be a good measuring stick for some of the other 2019 talents at the event to compete with.
Joey Messler (SF O’Gorman, 6-4, 2017). A guy that showed excellent versatility this summer with BBA Force and Messler should be one of the more skilled and talented guys at the event. Messler has shown he can play three or four positions so his skill workouts should be good to watch.
Trevor Olson (Sioux Valley, 6-4, 2018). Olson is considered one of the better shooters in the state and in his grade. He had a fine summer with the Dakota Schoolers and we are anxious to see his percentages in the halfcourt drills with defenders chasing hard.
Koln Oppold (Sioux Falls Christian, 6-4, 2018). Oppold was one of the all state 16u players as he showed he can score in nearly every way possible with BBA against the teams they competed against. Koln has great size for his position and quality skill at his size.
Jordan Polynice (GF Red River, 6-4, 2018). The top prospect in the state of North Dakota now Jordan is a guy we are watching to see where he should be in the national Top 250 rankings for juniors. Is Jordan a division one talent? This weekend we will get a look at him and make an observation the best we can.
Steele Senske (Park Christian (MN), 6-3, 2018). Steele is a Park Christian standout who was in Minneapolis last weekend and the Fargo/Moorhead area talent comes back for another weekend to show us what he is capable of.
Brayden Uses Arrow (Solen, 6-1, 2017). A shooting guard that did a great job consistently scoring for ECI helping them win more games than anybody thought they could. Brayden is a guy that D3s and NAIA schools should look at and they are likely to this weekend.
