Fall Exposure Thoughts

Here is 15 kids who I think really helped themselves last weekend. This was an email sent out to college coaches who attended, and some who didn't attend the Comets Fall Exposure Showcase. This is all 2011 kids. The 2012/2013 fields were loaded though.

15. Brandon Geise 6'1 Zimmerman, MN. All he does is make shots, one of the two or three best pull up jump shots in state. Quick/high release, great rhythym shooter. Has to get better on defensive end, but his ability to score is hard to find.
14. Mike Stephens 5'10 Big Lake MN. High ball pressure, really got after guys defensively. His offense is also coming along nicely, as he hit some perimeter shots, and got to the basket as well.
13. Isaac Winters 6'5 Sauk Centre MN. Tough kid to keep off the glass, really competed hard all day, can finish with either hand, and can guard multiple positions. really think he has some nice upside.
12. Shane Bosek 6'5 Minnewaska MN. 2 minutes left in the final game of the day, and Bosek goes down the lane and pokes on 2 defenders. Kid is the most athletic outstate kid in the state. He can stroke it too. Very under the radar kid, but he can play.
11. Luke Bobb 6'7 Lincoln. He is very good, better than I thought. I thought he rebounded, defended and played hard all day long. Scored sometimes at will with his back to the basket.
10. Cole Mortel 6'6 Luck WI. He could be a 2/3/4 depending on the league he ends up in. Plays hard, well coached, and led his team all day long.
9. Max Watts 6'3 Chaska. Kid competes, you see why Chaska is going to be so good, playing with two HM D1 kids, Max get's a little less publicity, but he can really play. Better athlete/defender than I remember.
8. Adam Hjelter 6'1 Hutchinson, MN. Consistently ran a solid Point all day, got his teamates involved, and also went and got his points when the oppotunity presented itself. Kid can flat out stroke the ball, and plays with a confidence and swagger, I love.
7. Drew Preiner 6'4 tartan, MN. Kid was everywhere, diving all over the floor and really playing hard. Impressed me with his skill set and leadership skills.
6. Mike Reisdorf 6'8 Cathedral, MN. This kis is a 29ACT and a 3.93. He's skinny, and not physical yet, but he's skilled and got a ton of rebounds and blocked a lot of shots. Great outlet passer. I'm not saying a D2 kid, but this kid has a lot of upside for aD3.
5. Travis Rollo 6'8 Mayer Lutheran, MN. Kid has put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, looks the part of an NSIC big man now. Very athletic, and skill set improves daily. He was really good all day long.
4. Rodney Pierce-Owens 6'2 Park Center,MN. One of the best athletes there, worked tirelessly on the glass, hit a couple perimeter jumpers and did good things all day long on D.
3. Ethan Petrill 6'2 Shakopee,MN. Showed once again he can stroke it from deep. Showed a commitment on the defensive end I hadn't seen. Looks leaner and healthier than I'd seen him in the summer. Could be a guy someone "steals" late.
2. Aaron Zimmer 6'5 Foley,MN. Before spraining his ankle he was all over the place on the glass, hitting 3's, scoring in the post, working the high low with Rollo. Skill Set is high, sneaky athletic as he had a couple of dunks in the half court too. just getting back to health from a summer off, someone is going to be very happy to get him next year.
1. Kurt Moody 6'4 Pequot Lakes, MN,- Just get's things done, plays harder than most. a prototypical power wing, he offensive rebounds well, scores well, and defends well. Overshadowed a little by playing with great bigs and shooters on his AAU team, he is a kid who I would get on sooner than later, because he will be ready to help someone sooner than later in his college career.
