Concordia St. Paul gets it. As the only school in the Twin Cities representing the power Northern Sun Conference in NCAA D2, it has the capability of getting players that many others wouldn’t due to the program’s location and facilities. Coach Matt Fletcher has taken advantage of that, too. The reigning Northern Sun Interscholastic Conference Coach of The Year took CSP to its first ever NCAA D-2 Tourney last year and is building off it it by bringing the finest players in the state onto campus throughout the fall and high school season.
The Concordia St. Paul Holiday Classic is one of the best events in the state of Minnesota throughout the high school season and to jump the season off, the CSP Fall League allows many of the state’s best players to get ten toes down on campus before the season kicks off.
Blending programs from all over the state, there was no shortage of talent in the building ranging from the high major D1 level to players who may find Concordia St. Paul their home. While we spent the bulk of the time there, we weren’t able to catch squads with talent such as DeLaSalle and Richfield.
That being said, here are the top players that we saw from the Concordia St. Paul Fall League:
Ahmed Nur, 6’7, SF, Hopkins HS (MN), 2027
The highest upside player in Minnesota’s class of 2027, Ahmed Nur showed what makes him such a unique prospect at the CSP Fall League. Playing near exclusively on the wing, Nur has a super fluid jump shot from three, an excellent handle for a bigger wing, and is learning how to exploit his size against smaller defenders. Considered by many to be a top-50 player in the class nationally, the junior is just scratching the surface for how good he could ultimately become.
Jayden Moore, 6’0, PG, Hopkins HS (MN), 2026
The state’s best two sport player holds high major offers in both basketball and football, but reminded everyone that he is still the best true lead guard that the state has to offer. The catalyst totally controls the game on both ends of the hardwood, has a super tight handle, and is continually evolving as a 3-point threat. The combination of athleticism, I.Q., and experience having played six years of varsity basketball will make him an immediate plug and play guy at the D1 level.
Jamir Davis, 6’2, PG, Eden Prairie HS (MN), 2026
An intriguing point guard with size and length, Jamir Davis showed he could hold his own on the 3SSB Circuit this summer running with D1 Minnesota and showed progress in the CSP Fall League. The lanky lead guard was a big time finisher in transition, utilized his length to guard either backcourt spot, and was a threat from beyond the 3-point line. Davis was the model of consistency and certainly has all of the tools to develop into a really nice point guard prospect.
King Smith, 6’2, PG, Hopkins HS (MN), 2029
One of the elite freshman that the Land of 10,000 Lakes has to offer already had varsity experience before entering high school, and it showed at the CSP Fall League. The freshman is a strong guard who makes really nice pocket passes, can finish through contact, and already has a pretty polished game entering high school. Smith played up on 15U at times for D1 Minnesota on the 3SSB circuit and is definitely a name to track.
David Addai, 6’6, SF, St Paul Johnson (MN), 2028
Another promising youngster that CSP was David Addai, an angular wing who transferred in front St. Paul Harding. All arms and legs, Addai posts smaller defenders, offers versatility on the defensive end, and showed talent facing the rack. Having played on a loaded J-Sizzle (Jalen Suggs’ AAU team) on the Adidas circuit, David has already gained experience playing against elite competition, which should certainly translate in the St. Paul City League.
JP Musoke, 6’6, SG/SF, Breck HS (MN), 2026
One of the better senior wings with size still left on the board in the state, Musoke is going to be the focal point of Breck’s offense for the 2025-26 season. He is a serious shooter with his feet set, uses his size to finish amongst size in the paint, and is improving his game off of the bounce. Musoke played with Hoop Habits on the New Balance circuit and is going to be one to watch for the ’24 state champs throughout his senior campaign.
