Prime Time Players

SAM DOWER
Rated the state's No. 5 recruit in the ESPNU 100, Dower will take his game out west next year, as he has committed to Gonzaga. The big senior averaged 13.4 points per game last year.

ROYCE WHITE
The former DeLaSalle standout has transferred to Hopkins and has verbally committed to Minnesota. He averaged 21.8 points per game last season and is one of the state's most dominant players.

RODNEY WILLIAMS
Williams earned Division I interest from a number of schools after he averaged 17 points, six rebounds and 2.4 blocked shots per game as a junior. He has since committed to play at Minnesota.

ETHAN WRAGGE
Wragge will show the rest of the state what he can do now that he is the go-to player for Eden Prairie. The Creighton recruit is among the state's best long-range shooters.

Coach's Take

AN AREA COACH ON COLE STEFAN:
"He is definitely an up-and-comer in the state this year. Now that he's going to get some playing time for [Minnetonka], I expect some pretty big things from him."
