Continue ReadingThis will be a hardworking team that plays stingy defense and hustles for everything. I expect them to play fast when they have the opportunity is there but also be able to slow the tempo down and get a high percentage looks. They have players with varsity experience, some impressive athletes, and they should be an overall disciplined team. This ECI team will also have a high-quality coach with Travis Hoeg.
The ECI 16U Prospects will hang their hat on defense and successful transition play. A few of their top defensive-stoppers will be Carter Baasch Carter Baasch 5'7" | SG Maple River | 2025 State ND , Aric Winczewski Aric Winczewski 6'2" | CG Minot | 2025 State ND , and Grayson Schaeffer Grayson Schaeffer 6'5" | SF Minot | 2025 State ND . Their primary ballhandlers will be Aric Winczewski Aric Winczewski 6'2" | CG Minot | 2025 State ND , Carter Baasch Carter Baasch 5'7" | SG Maple River | 2025 State ND , and Pearce Parks Pearce Parks 6'2" | SG Grand Forks Red River | 2025 State ND . Expect the top 3-point shooters for this ECI team to be Brady Westphal Brady Westphal 6'2" | SG West Fargo Horace | 2025 State ND and Grady Swanson Grady Swanson 6'1" | SG Bismarck | 2025 State ND . Coach Travis Hoeg is excited to coach this talented team. This roster is full of hard workers. Hoeg’s squad is loaded with guys who all have great attitudes and play the game the right way.
ECI Roster
Brady Westphal Brady Westphal 6'2" | SG West Fargo Horace | 2025 State ND (2025) |5-10 G| Horace – A well-rounded player who is great on the bounce and a sniper from long range.
Grady Swanson Grady Swanson 6'1" | SG Bismarck | 2025 State ND (2025) |5-10 G| Bismarck – He can fill it up quickly from long range. Swanson has very good handles as well.
Aric Winczewski Aric Winczewski 6'2" | CG Minot | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-0 G| Minot – He played quality minutes for the State Championship team from Minot. Aric has incredible instincts on the court and is a natural leader. He is a bucket getter and distributor.
Pearce Parks Pearce Parks 6'2" | SG Grand Forks Red River | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-2 G/F| – He reminds me so much of his older brother, big and strong for his age group. Parks muscles opposing players and he has the ability to put the ball on the floor and get downhill. Pearce is a really good rebounder for a guard and has a nice touch from the outside.
Grayson Schaeffer Grayson Schaeffer 6'5" | SF Minot | 2025 State ND (2025) |6-5 F| Minot – He is another player from Minot who played quality minutes for the State Champs. Schaeffer is long, athletic, and has a great motor. This player is going to open some eyes this summer. Grayson has so much potential. He is a natural scorer and great around the rim. He is very explosive.
Carter Baasch Carter Baasch 5'7" | SG Maple River | 2025 State ND (2025) 5-6 G| Maple River – He is a little dynamo with the ball in his hands. Carter can create and score on the bounce. He is one of the best on-ball defenders for this age group. Baasch is a holy terror in the full court when picking up the ball. He is a scary defender.
Ramsey Walz Ramsey Walz 6'7" | PF Bishop Ryan | 2025 State #313 Nation ND (2025) |6-4 F| – He played big-time minutes for Minot Ryan. Walz is a strong kid that is great inside with multiple ways to score. He can also stretch the floor with his outside shooting.
Mason Larson (2025) |6-1 G| Ada-Borup-West (MN) – He is a physical kid that has a quick bounce off the floor. Larson has the ability to stretch the floor and has a knack for hitting 3-balls. Mason also excels at rebounding.
