Transferred from Hopkins.
Two. Patrick Bath to Totino-Grace. A 6-foot-9 big man that quickly becomes the top big in his class because of his agility at his size. Will give the Eagles more size to face Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren 7'0" | C Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State #1 Nation MN . Transferred from Fargo Shanley (ND).
Three. Demarion Watson Demarion Watson 6'8" | SF Totino-Grace | 2022 State #150 Nation MN to Totino-Grace. A big wing that the Eagles can use at both forward spots , Demarion has high major explosive athletic ability. Transferred from Minnehaha Academy.
