Stock Risers in the 2022 Prospect Rankings
Gus Hurlburt Gus Hurlburt 6'9" | PF Enderlin | 2022 State ND |6-9 F| Enderlin/D1 Minnesota – New Rank #3 Previous Rank #7
He had an excellent summer with Enderlin in high school events and Gus looked good with D1 Minnesota in AAU ball. Hurlburt shot very well from 3-point land. Gus showed that he is a very difficult matchup with his size, strength, and shooting ability. He is a very bright player with astronomical ACT test scores. I would not be surprised if Gus ends up playing hoops at an academic prestigious Divion-1 school.
Eric Wentz Eric Wentz 6'2" | SG Minot | 2022 State ND |6-2 SG| Minot/ECI – New Rank #6 Previous Rank #10
He will be one of the best defenders in all of Class A. Wentz is equally tough on the ball and off the ball. He had a top-notch summer with ECI in AAU hoops. Minot will need his leadership and great communication this season since they lost Martinez to graduation. Wentz is an efficient and timely 3-point shooter. He is a skilled cutter and a deadly slasher, especially going left. Wentz is a great finisher at the basket, he can do it with power or finesse. Eric is on track for a huge senior season in the Magic City.
Dominic Dosmann Dominic Dosmann 6'8" | PF WF Sheyenne | 2022 State ND |6-8 PF| West Fargo Sheyenne/ECI – New Rank #9 Previous Rank #11
Over the spring and summer months, Dosmann has improved his 3-point shooting. Look for him to stretch the floor this winter and shoot the triple with confidence. Dominic has great upside with his mobility, height, and long arms. He is a very unselfish player that never seems to force a shot. I am predicting the big lefty to average a double-double this season and to be an All-State type player. I like his toughness and consistency. Dosmann will be one of the best frontcourt defenders in ND as well. Look for the southpaw this winter, he will have a great senior season for Sheyenne.
Nick Carlson Nick Carlson 6'4" | SF West Fargo | 2022 State ND |6-4 F| West Fargo/ECI – New Rank #10 Previous Rank #15
This Packer is always improving. He truly is a star on the rise. With ECI this summer Carlson seemed to improve from week to week. That is rare in the 17U age group. Nick is fearless, he never backs down and he is always attacking the opposition. He is tough as nails! I love his hustle. Nick is always hustling back on defense or coming over on help side for a big block. He can score from all over the court, but he is best around the rim. He is crafty and relentless. I think Nick will put up impressive numbers this season. If they had a “newcomer” award in Class A, Carlson would hands down be the favorite. He will surprise many people early in the year.
Jayden Yankton Jayden Yankton 6'1" | SG Four Winds/Minnewaukan | 2022 State ND |6-1 SG| Four Winds-Minnewaukan – New Rank #11 Previous Rank #14
A clear-cut 1st Team All-State Player. Yankton is a top 3-point shooter, if not the best in North Dakota. Jayden had great handles last season, after this summer he has masterful handles. Yankton is also bigger and stronger, which should help with finishing at the cup. This summer Jayden was getting into the lane and finishing or setting up teammates for easy baskets. Yankton is becoming a complete scorer. He is a sneaky and smart defender that can turn over the ball. Jayden is a cold-blooded shooter, I can not tell if he has made 5 in a row or missed 5 in a row. He shoots without emotion! When Yankton is in the game, do not take your eyes off the court. If you do, you will most likely miss multiple 3-point buckets. Look for Jayden and 4-Winds to have a memorable season in 2021-2022.
