Cameron Anderson Cameron Anderson 6'2" | SG Blue Earth | 2021 State MN of Blue Earth (6’1 SG). Anderson is likely the best player that we didn’t have in our recent 2021 rankings. Cam scored 17 points a game this winter for the Bucs as one of the better southern Minnesota shooters.
Jake Braaten of Byron (6’0 PG). Braaten is one of the steadiest lead guards in the state and a 16 point per game scorer to go with it. Jake is one of the top 20 lead guards in the state’s 2021 group and a top 75 level prospect overall.
Caden Grinde Caden Grinde 6'3" | SG Spring Grove | 2021 State MN of Spring Grove (6’4 SF). Grinde is a physically gifted wing that can play guard or defend bigger players if needed. Caden is an athletic finisher and an excellent defender. Scored 16 a game.
Kyreis Harrison Kyreis Harrison 6'3" | SF Minnesota Valley Lutheran | 2021 State MN of Minnesota Valley Lutheran (6’3 SF). Harrison is a tough, aggressive wing that has the strength to slide down and guard some fours. Harrison gave a top ten Class AA team a dozen points a game.
Kegan Heiderscheidt Kegan Heiderscheidt 6'7" | SF Sleepy Eye | 2021 State MN of Sleepy Eye (6’6 SG). Kegan is a big guard/wing that scored 15 points a game for his team most often playing point guard. Kegan’s vision and game understanding have people interested in how he will compete at the 17u level.
Easton Hulke Easton Hulke 6'2" | SG Byron | 2021 State MN of Byron (6’2 SG). Smart, skilled guard that produced double figures each game this year in a deep Bears backcourt. Loved the way Hulke played within his team framework.
Ethan Mischke Ethan Mischke 6'0" | PG Westbrook-Walnut Grove | 2021 State MN of Westbrook-Walnut Grove (6’0 PG).Mischke is the definition of a playmaker scoring 20 points a game but also regularly setting up his teammates for consistent opportunity. Ethan is a player we are looking forward to see in comparison to other guards.
Ethan Slaathaug Ethan Slaathaug 6'3" | SG Hayfield | 2021 State MN of Hayfield (6’2 PG). Ethan has a chance to be the top scoring option many games for this team after helping put the Vikings into the Class A top ten with his 23 points a game. Ethan is a near 40 percent three-point shooter.
Shane Stevenson Shane Stevenson 6'6" | PF Nicollet | 2021 State MN of Nicollet (6’6 PF). Shane is a top 100 prospect in Minnesota’s 2021 class mixing in deep paint finishes with a developing face-up game. Shane scored 18.8 points per game shooting 51.4 percent from the floor and 34 percent at the arc (7.7 boards a game as well).
