Gage Anderson Gage Anderson 5'10" | PG West Fargo Sheyenne | 2021 State ND (2021) |5-10 G| West Fargo Sheyenne – He is having a great senior year and he is the PG on the #1 team in North Dakota. 15.9 ppg, 5 apg, 2.5 spg, and 83% FT’s. Gage put up 29 points and 7 three-pointers in a game earlier in the year against Moorhead. He is a quick player that is great in transition. Gage surveys the floor well and is an elite passer. He is an aggressive cutter and has solid handles.
Grant Gerving Grant Gerving 5'10" | SG Glen Ullin/Hebron | 2021 State ND (2021) |5-10 G| Glen Ullin/Hebron – He is a great shooter with deep range. Grant has a nice fade away jump-shot that enables him to get his shot off when he pleases. He is effective off the bounce and he can catch and shoot in rhythm. Grant is a very unselfish player that does not force his shot. Grant works hard on defense and usually locks up with the opposing team’s best player.
Jack Bright Jack Bright 6'5" | SF Garrison | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-5 F| Garrison – He is an athletic lefty that can do it all. I like his shot from beyond the arc. Jack is long and a fine athlete. He has good bounce and anticipatory skills that lead to steals and many blocked shots. Jack score in and around the paint with a plethora of moves. He can get out in transition and score in transition like a college athlete. He is a productive rebounder. I have been impressed with his cutting ability and mid-range jump shot.
Kameron Arechigo Kameron Arechigo 6'2" | SG Fargo South | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-2 G| Fargo South – He is the scariest 3-point shooter in the EDC. Kam has unlimited range who can shoot off the dribble or catch and shoot. 16.8 ppg with 60 three-pointers made so far this year. Kam shoots it soft and he has good feet. I like his handles. I have seen him cross a few defenders up this year and make them look silly. Kam is a lights-out, dynamic, and clutch shooter.
Munezero Desire Munezero Desire 5'8" | PG Wahpeton | 2021 State ND (2021) |5-8 G| Wahpeton – He is a quick player and is a good defender. 19.4 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 3.6 apg, 3.4 spg, and 50% FG. Munezero is an exceptional rebounder for a 5’8” guard. He secures all of those rebounds because of his athleticism, effort, and hustle. Munezero has a quick first step and he has a nice pull-up jumper. He has good balance and flexibility when finishing in traffic.
Tanner Soehren Tanner Soehren 6'3" | PF Dickinson Trinity | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-3 F| Dickinson Trinity – He is the best frontcourt player in Region 7. Tanner is a strong athlete and a tough offensive rebounder. He is a consistent shooter from 17 feet and will occasionally knock down a 3-pointer. Tanner is best in the paint with solid moves on the block. If the defense plays behind him, Tanner will bury them low and score at will.
Trey Welstad Trey Welstad 6'1" | PG Rugby | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-1 G| Rugby – He is a high-level shooter from beyond the arc. Trey has excellent shooting mechanics and is always in-rhythm. He has a nice step-back move and has excellent ball skills. Trey moves well without the ball and he has a high basketball IQ. I like his quickness and how easy the game comes to him.
William Schuster William Schuster 6'1" | PG Midway/Minto | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-1 G| Midway/Minto – He plays with a great demeanor and flow to his game. William is a smooth backcourt player with long arms. I watched him in a game earlier this season where he scored 37 points, with four 3-pointers, and was 3-3 from the line. He has great fundamentals but also has the flair that makes him stand out amongst others. William has great hops and is an all-around special player.
Warren Walker Warren Walker 6'2" | SG Rugby | 2021 State ND (2021) |6-2 G| Rugby – He is an explosive athlete that moves well. Warren is a skilled player on the offensive side of the ball. I have been impressed with his ability to finish with both hands at the rim. Warren is a strong player that can finish through contact. He always seems to be attacking the defense.
