Kyle Bauman, sophomore, USC

Blue Earth head coach Gary Holmseth said Bauman might be one of the best players in the southern Minnesota next season and that could hold true. Just a sophomore, Bauman led the Rebels with 16.6 points per game and 10.4 rebounds per game. At 6-foot-7 he is one of the toughest players to stop in the Gopher Conference and will be for the next two years.

Riley Swearingen, senior, USC

Swearingen averaged 16.4 points per game and finished just behind teammate Kyle Bauman for the team lead. Swearingen also averaged 5.3 rebounds per game and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 42 percent from the field in his senior season. The inside-out game for the Rebels was key with Swearingen’s ability from the perimeter.

Cory Camerer, senior, NRHEG

Camerer led the Panthers in scoring with 14.9 points per game and rebounding with 9.5 per game. Camerer shot 51 percent from the field and led the team in blocks. Camerer drew from an array of moves around the basket and showed a deft shooting touch this season.
