This is based completely on my opinion on what players from the Northwoods have games that translate the best to college basketball. Potential does play a factor into being a "prospect" going into college.
2. Brooks Johnson (Duluth Marshall): A very physical and athletic 6'5" wing/forward in the 2025 class. Put up big numbers while at Duluth Marshall during his career, averaged 32.1 points per game and 16.6 rebounds per game during his senior season. Through AAU during high school that coaches were given a better look at what he can do, probably more so than playing in high school. Brooks has always seemed to play with a motor and some passion for the game. Committed to Minnesota-Duluth.
3. Calvin Anderson (Superior): Long and lanky wing who can play multiple positions on the court. Scores in a variety of ways. He's been good in high school, but I do think his best basketball is still in front of him. I think once he adds a light weight in college he will really come into his own. Currently holds Division 2 offers from Michigan Tech, Minnesota-Duluth, Minnesota-Moorhead, and Missouri S&T.
4. Jaxon Boschee (Bemidji): The recruitment for the 6'3" guard has started to gain momentum. He's probably one of the better players on this list of being able to score with the ball in his hands, in a variety of ways. His really quick shooting release allows him to get tough shots off. Can shoot it from deep, or get to his spots for mid-range jumpers. On top of shooting abilities, he's a good passer as well. Current offers from Minot State and Northern Michigan.
5. Jacob MacPhee (Marquette): All-around great athlete in the 2025 class. Football, basketball, and track & field stud. Has some work to do, but no without a question he is going to play with a motor. I think he's a perfect fit for what Michigan Tech does. Rebounds the ball at an extremely high rate and able to finish very well. Capable of stepping outside and knocking down threes. Committed to Michigan Tech.
6. Ethan Marta (Westwood): Scored his 1000th career point as a junior. Helped lead his high school team to a Michigan State Tournament Semi-Final appearance. Has been having a great summer playing with Zero Star Basketball out of Marquette. Haven't heard of any offers yet, but has been playing well at prospect camps (according to other reports). I wouldn't be surprised to hear of some D2 offers coming in shortly.
7. Ray Brau (Hibbing): The 6'7" forward rebounds the ball at an extremely high rate. He's consistently been one of the better 2027 prospects in Minnesota. Has great hands and has great touch around the hoop. Has a "below the rim" style of play, but he's able to get to his spots and use his body well. I don't know what level he'll end up at, but I believe he'll be extremely efficient wherever he goes.
8. Stephen McGee (Greenway): The 6'9" 2026 forward has been having a good spring AAU season playing with the Minnesota Comets. Good shot blocker, really uses his length very well. Tends to be a little more perimeter oriented on the offensive end. There is a lot of potential left on the table for McGee and if he ends up at the right spot, he could have a really good college career. Recently committed to Northern Michigan.
9. Isaiah Asuma (Cherry): The 2027 guard has had a good AAU showing so far this year, and it will be expected to translate for Cherry this upcoming season. Great passing abilities, but also athletic enough to finish around bigger defenders. Has helped the Tigers become one of the best small school programs in Minnesota. Has a great muscle build on him already. Currently holds an offer from Minnesota-Duluth.
10. Kamden Kroll (Northwestern): The 2027 wing has a chance to really make some moves in the coming years. He's going to start being asked to do more and that should open some things up for him. 1st-Team Heart O' North selection as a sophomore after averaging 15.3 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. When I've watched him play it has always looked really smooth and under control. Has had a really impressive summer playing with Wisconsin Playmakers and his high school team. Haven't seen anything about offers for him yet (still very early), but I would assume by spring they will start picking up.
To be included on this list you must be in one of the following graduating classes:
2025, 2026, 2027, or 2028.
