Conner Barney Conner Barney 6'3" | SF Cloquet | 2022 State MN of Cloquet (6’2 Wing). I like Barney for that division three level. He’s strong enough to play a few different spots and his skills are rapidly improving. I think he’s going to have a huge senior season.
Evan Bearth Evan Bearth 6'4" | SF Park of Cottage Grove | 2022 State MN of Park of Cottage Grove (6’4 Wing). At 6’4 at the D3 level a team can put Bearth at forward and trust that he’s going to hit jumpers, trust that he is big enough to defend his spot, and know that he played with that top five Select team and did well.
Collin Bonow Collin Bonow 6'0" | PG Lewiston-Altura | 2022 State MN of Lewiston-Altura (6’0 Guard). Collin continues to play with toughness and run an offense in an efficient way. Even at an Expo where it’s five in, five out, new guys all around, and players wanting to make highlights, Bonow took care of the ball for winners.
Jacob Butler Jacob Butler 6'3" | SF Minneapolis North | 2022 State MN of Minneapolis North (6’5 Wing). You always get something different with Butler in a quality way. This past Friday Butler’s jumper was on and colleges watched with interest. Butler has the potential to someday be a D2 player.
Liam Carney Liam Carney 6'2" | PG Providence Academy | 2022 State MN of Providence Academy (6’5 Guard). Basketball has moved to one big with four versatile players around him. They don’t get much more versatile than Liam Carney Liam Carney 6'2" | PG Providence Academy | 2022 State MN . At the D3 level you could play him at the one through the four and he would come through for you. Teams looking to take a chance on a guy at the D2 level with a partial, I would consider Carney who is more agile and explosive than people know.
Dalal Gaarhaye Dalal Gaarhaye 6'8" Eden Prairie | 2022 MN of Eden Prairie (6’8 C). At was my first viewing of Dalal but instantly he’s a player you can slot in as a top 15 big in this state. Plays with some attitude, good passer, mixed it up with good players, and it will be fin to see how he is used this winte.r
Carson Kolles Carson Kolles 5'10" | PG Monticello | 2022 State MN of Monticello (5’10 PG). Kolles has more juice to him than people know. Looks a bit stronger and with that strength seems more confidence and core strength allowing Carson to be a fast paced playmaker. Loved some of the combo guard playmaking things he did, Carson is better than I thought. I’d look at him for the D3 level.
Yonis Mohamud Yonis Mohamud 6'2" | SG Shakopee | 2022 State MN of Shakopee (6’2 SG). I know, I know, we’ve talked about Yonis a ton already. But one more pair of sentences can’t hurt. Yonis is so much better off the bounce than we saw last year that now I think he can be a dual threat scorer that will lead to a lot of future options.
Ty Morrison Ty Morrison 6'4" | SF Deer River | 2022 State MN of Deeer River (6’5 Wing). D2 player to me all the way. Shooting it well, handles it, doesn’t need to score to make a big impact, rebounds, and is an agile 6’5. That is a D2 caliber player to me in some way shape or form.
Cody Pennebaker Cody Pennebaker 6'5" | SF Park Center | 2022 State MN of Park Center (6’5 Wing). Time for those at the D1 level looking for skilled wings to head to a PC open gym. This is a basketball world where everybody wants agile and skilled wings and they have three starting positions for those players these days. Cody is a D1 talent for sure.
