Tommy Humphries Tommy Humphries 6'5" | SF Totino-Grace | 2023 State #283 Nation MN (Totino Grace, MN)
Humphries has excellent size at 6’4”. Slender built wing has long arms and exceled making plays as a finisher in transition. Quickness around the hoop was another one of his strengths. Brings projectability to the table long term.
Ben Kopetzki Ben Kopetzki 6'0" | PG Andover | 2023 State MN (Andover, MN)
This 5’11” guard was Mr. Consistency throughout the camp. He was a plus threat from beyond the arc hitting pull ups and off the catch shots. Also was a slick passer that made others around him better. High basketball IQ.
Maximus Wilson (Hopkins, MN)
Wilson is a scoring guard with a long and rangy frame. He is wired to put the ball in the hoop including drives and threes from the wings.
CJ O’Hara CJ O’Hara 6'4" | SF Park Center | 2023 State #285 Nation MN (Totino Grace, MN)
O’Hara is a 6’4” long and rangy small forward that has a feathery touch from the perimeter on his jump shot. His athleticism around the hoop also shined through using his bounce to get on the offensive glass and quickness for buckets in the paint. Versatile player that should continue to grow into his body and has tremendous upside.
Nasir Whitlock Nasir Whitlock 6'2" | PG Delasalle | 2023 State MN (De La Salle, MN)
Whitlock can put the ball in the hoop. The compact 6’1” guard is a straight bucket getter. He got in the lane for runners and layups off the bounce over and over.
Kolten Monroe Kolten Monroe 6'7" | PF Milwaukee Bay View | 2023 IL (Bay View, WI)
Monroe has excellent size already for a post player at 6’7”. He can step out to knock down a three along with take his man off the dribble from the mid-post.
Simeon Murchinson (Bay View, WI)
At 6’8” this Wisconsin big man left a major impression on everyone who saw him over the weekend. He is a big time athlete at the center position with the ability to finish with strength and protect the rim on the opposite end. Absolutely monster on the glass grabbing them at a very high rate with his quickness and length.
Ryan Erikson Ryan Erikson 6'10" | C Bismarck Century | 2023 State ND (Century, ND)
Erikson is a crafty and productive 6’8” center that consistently scored in the paint by using skill and fakes. He has broad shoulders to continue to get stronger which will probably help improve his athleticism. Competes on the defensive end. Nifty finisher on the block including reverse layups and overall was just efficient when the ball touched his hands.
Maki Johnson Maki Johnson 6'4" | SG Huntington Prep | 2023 State #226 Nation WV (Huntington Prep, WV)
We had heard some buzz about this wing, but were blow away with his game. Johnson at about 6’4” was one of the best passers at the camp. He displayed creativity and flair dishing the rock for assists in both transition and the half court. Also got to the hoop for a few scores. High level playmaker with the rock in his hands.
Assane Diop Assane Diop 6'10" | PF Belleview Christian | 2023 State #107 Nation CO (Belleview Christian, CO)
At 6’10” Diop is an intimidating presence on the interior especially on the defensive end. He was a monster blocking shots all weekend long. Great timing coming from the weak side and post scorers had virtually no shot against him. Offensively most of his points came on dunks catching passes in traffic along with looking pretty smooth as a finisher in the pick/roll.
Baye Fall Baye Fall 6'11" | C Luthern Christian | 2023 State #13 Nation CO (Lutheran, CO)
Fall came into the camp as one of the highest rated national prospects in attendance. You can see why he is such a coveted player. The 6’11” five man is all arms and legs. Very athletic for his size which was shown with how well he ran the floor. All in one motion he ran the floor, caught a pass, spin move, and dunked it. Has the frame to add more strength which he will need to do going forward. Elite level shot blocker and defender.
Ray King (St. John Bosco, CA)
This 5’8” point guard was dynamic early on in the camp with the way he passed the ball in traffic. Quick and shifty guard that can hit a shot every now and then.
Brayson Laube Brayson Laube 6'2" | PG Marion | 2023 State IA (Marion, IA)
The 6’1” combo guard was a lights out shooter. Did it from both mid-range pulling up and off the catch from three. Also mixed in some crisp ball handling.
Bryan Ward (Chaminade, MO)
This St. Louis 6’0” guard is a scoring combo that makes plays with the rock in his hands. Also a capable three point shooter. This program continues to produce quality college guards and he could be the next in line.
