With so much talent in the state of Minnesota, and so many gifted players having performed well during the AAU season, athletes had to go above and beyond to make the cut. The Freshmen 50 represents the best college prospects now entering high school. It recognizes all of the time, effort and focus these players have invested to construct a skill set that sets them apart. We believe that every player listed in this compilation has the opportunity to eventually play at the collegiate level. Only time will tell if that prediction comes to fruition but I have to say our track record over the years has been pretty good.
On Sept. 10, nearly 120 players came to Hopkins to demonstrate their skills at the PGH Freshman Showcase, and a number of them raised their stock at the event. In the Top 20, Kaja Nash Kaja Nash 5'9" | PG Southwest Christian | 2027 State MN and Lyla Hentges Lyla Hentges 5'10" | SG Chanhassen | 2027 State MN improved their positions. From #21 to #50 in the rankings, there were a few more including #21 Jaliyah Diggs Jaliyah Diggs 5'5" | PG Park Center | 2027 State MN , #27 Isa Griefenhagen Isa Griefenhagen 5'10" | CG Minnehaha Academy | 2027 State MN , #36 Alexa Juntunen Alexa Juntunen 5'8" | CG Rogers | 2027 State MN and #50 Grace Prose Grace Prose 5'8" | CG Mahtomedi | 2027 State MN .
Several others made a great impression. Although they didn’t make the Freshmen 50 there’s no doubt that Candace Ndomb (Duluth East), Aaliyah Williams Aaliyah Williams 5'4" | PG Rochester Lourdes | 2027 State MN (Rochester Lourdes), Savannah Tepoorten Savannah Tepoorten 6'1" | C Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2027 MN (Benilde-St. Margaret’s) and Ava Litecky Ava Litecky 5'10" | CG Totino-Grace | 2027 State MN (Totino-Grace) among others deserved serious consideration. The list will be expanded to 75 in February and these players will surely be in the mix.
