Welcome to Czar Season 19! Another new school year means another season in cyberspace. That includes a bunch of standard updates to flip the site forward.
The usual list of fall leagues and camps is now posted on the Fall Hoops page. If I missed yours, please pass it along.
I will be once again doing my annual season previews (see the schedule here). Once again I'll preview every team in class AAAA along with the extended metro area conferences. So yes Mississippi 8 and Wright County East you are still included. Those will kick
off on October 20th right after MEA and lead into the start of practice
on November 17th.
The list of class of 2026 players that have committed is now its own page. That list can be found here.
The annual holiday tournament schedule is also posted. Here's a list of the ones I know about currently. Schedules will be added as we get closer to the games themselves.
I've updated the current national recruiting rankings from all the major services. See that
on my Players page.
Once the college and NBA seasons get started, I'll be filling out the pages for Minnesotans that are playing D1 or in the NBA. I did this last year for the first time and it was a fun project as I don't get to follow the next level very much. Those links will be added to the menus once created.
I've also added in a link to the section maps page on the MSHSL website. That can be found in the Minnesota Hoops menu on the left side and the Links page.
For those of you reading on a phone (and you know who you are!), don't forget about the Links page.
Its always the 1st option in the menus. You can find links to anything and
everything you may want to know about Minnesota hoops during the high
school or grassroots seasons. It includes national recruiting sites,
recruiting
calendars, signing dates, records and award winners just to name a few
of the useful things that can be found there. It also has historical links to previous seasons of my writings including old season previews, CzarPI values and polls.
