Sanford "Who's Next" - D1 Talents

Let's get the coverage started with some of the best prospects that attended the camp.    Rylee has solidified herself as one of the premiere players in North Dakota. She received an offer from NDSU last AAU season and didn't take much time deciding that was the place she wants to be. She is the type of guard that will excel under NDSU head coach Jory Collins. She has the height to thrive in the Summit League and is incredibly skilled. I am very impressed with how physically strong she is as a guard. She bullies people to the basket and can easily finish through contact. My favorite part of Rylee's game is her ability to communicate on the court. She talks on both sides of the ball and helps coordinate offensive attacks and defensive stops. She is a natural leader on the court and was maybe the best player at Who's Next.     Reiner is another WDA post who is already dominant and just scratching the surface of how good she will be. The 6'1 power forward earned herself a spot on the All-WDA team last season with averages of 11 points and 8 rebounds per game while shooting 47% from the field, 71% from the free-throw line, and just under 30% from three. If she gets her three-point percentage above 33-35%, I think she is a lock for the Division 1 level. She is so much stronger than nearly every player she plays against. It was evident in the 3-on-3 portion of the camp where she completely dominated around the rim. She catches passes on screen-and-rolls, keeps the ball away from defenders, and finishes through contact. She is incredible at drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line.     Haug is a player I enjoy watching and someone who is serious about basketball. She seems to have improved each time I am able to see her play. She is probably one of the top skilled players in the state and easily one of the best at Who's Next. She has the ball on a string and can do any comb-dribble move you could think off. She is great with her hesitation dribbles and creating her shot. She can take what is drawn up on the whiteboard and bring it onto the floor, showing her coachability. Kenley is a good offensive player and shooter. If she can get her three-point shooting percentage to the Elite level, I think she can go D1. The tough guard from Central Cass is paying her dues and it is only a matter of time until a Division 1 team wants to take a chance on her.     Nipstad is very good and can play Division 1 basketball if given the opportunity. She is a scoring machine with an ability to get to her shot with ease. She is a true three-level scorer. She is a sniper from deep and can stretch the floor. She is able to get past primary defenders and pull up for the mid-range jump shot. If there is an advantage with the secondary defender, Nipstad is able to recognize that right away and get to the rim. Her height, athletic ability, and scoring ability are next level. She is an excellent competitor and works her tail off. She dominated individual portions of the camp and fit in nicely when grouped into 5 on 5.     Boeshans was one of the more fascinating players in the gym. She stood above nearly everyone else in the room with her 6'3 height. She looks the part of a Division 1 forward or center. I was excited to see how she has improved since last time I was able to watch her play. She did not disappoint. She is a great runner for a post and got up and down the court easily. She is an incredible defender with top level timing. It is very difficult to score over Kesia. She alters or blocks everything around the basket and then is able to secure rebounds. What stood out to me this session was her ability to knock down the three. She stepped into a drive-and-kick opportunity with no hesitation and swished her three. Division 1 coaches love posts who can shoot and it looks like Kesia is well on her way to being that type of player.
