Top Prospects in ND

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a list of kids who D1 coaches should take a look at. Some are obvious because they have already received offers but others may have the potential and coaches should evaluate to see if they could be a fit. Typically the biggest factors that separate Division 1 from lower levels is size, quickness, and athleticism. Every college coach wants players who can shoot, take care of the ball, and defend. The Division 1 level needs bigger guards who posses great quickness. They need big posts and forwards who can stretch the floor by shooting the three but are also capable of defending multiple positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='379041' first='Leelee' last='Bell'] (Minot) (2026) - Multiple Gatorade Player of the Year awards.
