76 | Kellen | Erpenbach | 6'0 | PG | Norwood-Young America | Dakota Wesleyan | From what I've heard, Kellen is a fantastic leader on and off the court. His name has been synonymous with grit and winning at NYA. DWU got another top-flight guy. |
77 | Sam | Wilson | 6'2 | SG | Farmington | Augsburg | Sam burst onto the scene with WOTN 17U, carrying a scoring punch we hadn't seen before. It overlapped into the winter, where his torch stayed lit for the Tigers. MIACs need to be on the lookout for his hot hand. |
78 | Zach | Johansen | 6'2 | SG | Heritage Christian | Bethel | The talent came together well at HCA in 2016-17 and Zach was an explosive piece to the puzzle. He brings his high energy and scoring prowess to an offensive juggernaut in Arden Hills. |
79 | Rhys | Langums | 6'4 | PF | St. Anthony | Augsburg | Not many have the pure athleticism that Rhys displayed throughout his high school career. He became a rebounding presence and anchored an improved Huskies team to a 19-8 record. |
80 | Jacob | Streit | 6'4 | SF | Eden Valley-Watkins | Northern State (football) | I got the privilege of watching Jacob play his grind-it-out style in a playoff game this season. The biggest guy on EV-W, he was given more than enough basketball responsibilities and he took care of them all. A great teammate who will find success on the gridiron. |
81 | Mohamed | Kone | 6'1 | SG | Apple Valley | NDSCS | Pure energy and positivity every second of every day from this guy. "MoMo" has been through a ton and knows what adversity looks like. He stares it straight in the eye and overcomes it. NDSCS is getting a fierce competitor. #BallForHamza |
82 | Jaran | Roste | 6'2 | SG | Alexandria | Minnesota (football) | Roste led his Cardinals and MN Comets squads to a lot of wins thanks to his composure and physical strength. No wonder the Gophers liked him; he's a leader and knows how to come out on top. |
83 | Alex | Strazzanti | 6'2 | SG | Chaska | Minnesota (football) | Strazzanti handled the ballhandling duties for the Hawks and was critical to their State Tournament appearance. He'll play some defensive back at the U of M. |
84 | Shayne | Frost | 6'1 | PG | Mahtomedi | Briar Cliff | Combining the slippery Frost with highflying Parker Fox was a pairing that not many could contend with in AAA. One of the better true PGs in his class. |
85 | John | Bezdicek | 6'3 | SF | Osseo | SMSU (baseball) | If you went to an Orioles game anytime in the last two years, you saw a guy taking every charge, diving on every loose ball, and hitting every open three. Bezdicek was someone you would never outwork on the court. He's headed to SMSU as a pitcher, I believe. |
86 | Jack | Silgren | 6'5 | SG | Crosby-Ironton | | My first chance to see Silgren was in the State Tournament this season. His shooting ability and length stood out to me and he impressed on the big stage. If he's got plans to play somewhere this fall, give us a call! |
87 | Hunter | McCalla | 6'4 | SF | Becker | Valley City State | McCalla made a splash for the Comets and carried it into a nice senior season for the Bulldogs. VCSU gets another good backcourt piece. |
88 | Lionel | Warner | 6'3 | SF | Coon Rapids | Anoke-Ramsey CC | Coon Rapids had a turnaround year in the NWSC and was one shot away from a section final. Lionel's hot shooting and ability to post up were perfect fits for Coach Ogorek's swing offense. ARCC will be a great place for him to grow even more. |
89 | Dominic | Bledsoe | 6'1 | SG | DeLaSalle | St. Olaf | One of the highest honors in the history of Minnesota high school basketball is to be DeLaSalle's best defender under the eye of Dave Thorson. Dom thrived in that role and it landed him a spot at a high-academic MIAC with good basketball. |
90 | Jake | Skelly | 6'1 | PG | Grand Rapids | Valley City State | GR trekked into the metro a couple times and I saw Jake put on a show at Hopkins during the Super 60. He's right there with the best at-rim finishers and can create for himself when he has to. Great get for VCSU. |
91 | Griffin | Chase | 6'3 | SG | Nevis | Bemidji State | Sharpshooting Griffin Chase got a chance to showcase his stuff to the State Tournament audience and now he's in Beaver country, ready to prove himself at the D2 level. |
92 | Walker | Tordsen | 6'7 | C | Fairmont | Minnesota (non-athlete) | Last we heard, Walker wasn't planning on playing in college, instead focusing on academics at the U of M. If that's still the case, Gopher intramurals get a lot more interesting with his offensive capabilities and post presence. |
93 | Trevor | Schermann | 6'4 | SF | Lakeville North | St. Thomas (football) | It speaks to Trevor's talents that he was able to get court time as a junior alongside North's championship-level 2016 class. Trevor became a perimeter stopper and wing scorer as a senior for the Panthers. He'll play wide receiver at UST. |
94 | Matt | Monke | 6'5 | SF | Fergus Falls | UM-Duluth | The lengthy Monke was a big part of the dominant Fergus teams the last few seasons. His touch and ability to influence shots were great additions to the perimeter-oriented Otters squad. |
95 | Connor | Schoborg | 6'2 | PG | Rocori | St. John's (MN) | I love Connor's all-around game, whether it's scoring inside and out, rebounding or dishing assists. He'll do a lot of that again for an elite MIAC team. |
96 | Thunder | Heyer | 6'0 | PG | Zimmerman | Bethel | Thunder thrived as a scoring guard for the Zimmerman Thunder (go figure). He's a sneakily springy jumper who can finish with the best at the rim, attributes that will serve him well as a Royal. |
97 | Jamaris | Johnson | 6'6 | PF | St. Croix Lutheran | Briar Cliff | A rock-solid, strong forward who had a big role on the highflying Crusader teams of the past couple years, Jamaris heads down to Iowa for the NAIA experience. |
98 | Mason | Carpenter | 6'4 | SF | Eastview | Concordia-Moorhead | Carpenter's got a winning tradition: he contributed on solid Lightning squads and was a member of the famed MN Warriors AAU team. Concordia receives a worker and team player in Mason. |
99 | Jordan | Thompson | 6'1 | SG | Tartan | | Thompson gave the Tartan Titans a high-level 3-and-D player as a senior, coming up with huge plays at key moments. If you know where he's off to this year, hit us up with that info! |
100 | Nick | Christenson | 6'1 | SG | East Ridge | St. Thomas | Sharpshooting Nick Christenson helped lead the youthful East Ridge Raptors to a number one section seed in 2016-17. He'll be another consistent deep threat that the Tommies never seem to have enough of. |
