Prince Aligbe Prince Aligbe 6'6" | SF Minnehaha Academy | 2022 State #167 Nation MN of Minnehaha Academy (6’6 SF 2022). A top 50 level national wing talent that has become a quality defender plus Prince of course one of the most explosive 2022 players in the country. Prince has had recent offers come in from Georgetown, Marquette, USC, Auburn, LSU, Ohio State, and UCLA.
Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis 6'3" | SF Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State MN of Minneheha Academy (6’3 SF). Davis is one of the more explosive 2021s in the state of Minnesota. Davis was a key reserve for the Redhawks this year and he’s picked up D1 offers from Hampton, Morgan State, and Western Illinois.
Gabe Ganz Gabe Ganz 6'1" | SG Blake | 2021 State MN of Blake (6’1 SG). Gabe helped lead the Bears to a 22-6 season this winter averaging 14 points, five rebounds, a team high 4.6 rebounds, and two steals a game. Ganz was one of the top two guys in each statistical categories for his team and I love the competitive fight he brought to each game I’ve seen him play.
Andre Gray Andre Gray 6'4" | SG Mpls North | 2021 State MN of Hopkins (6’3 SG). Gray is the top shooting guard prospect in the state of Minnesota for the 2021 class. Gray is an explosive finisher, is physically advanced strength wise for his age, and he’s a well taught player at Hopkins. Second leading scorer for the second ranked team in Class AAAA. Was just offered by Western Illinois.
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren 7'0" | C Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State #1 Nation MN of Minnehaha Academy (7’0 C). Chet is the best center prospect in the nation mixing ball skills with some of the best shot blocking we’ve seen in the Midwest in 20 years. Holmgren was the Redhawks leading scorer, leading rebounder, and leading shot blocker. Chet will have the nation watching his every move each 17u game.
Hercy Miller Hercy Miller 6'3" | PG Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State MN of Minnehaha Academy (6’3 PG). Miller arrived at Minnehaha Academy around New Year’s and instantly moved into the starting line-up. Miller played both guard spots becoming a 3rd/4th option on a team that was led by a pair of five-star players. Has offers from LSU, Missouri, and USC. Hercy will be the ball handler for the Sizzle.
Chris Morgan of Kaukauna (6’1 CG 2022). Morgan averaged nine a game for his team this year playing in a talented backcourt for a 16 win team. Morgan was offered by West Virginia a year ago and he will be a main ball handler/playmaker for the Sizzle this summer.
Davon Townley of Minneapolis North (6’6 PF). Townley has recently picked up a couple basketball offers (Western Illinois and Hampton) but the biggest name opportunities have come in from the football side of things (Nebraska, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa State, Missouri, and Boston College). Townley was a third team All Metro player this year after leading a quality Minneapolis North team in scoring and rebounding.
