The South Dakota 2029 class is beyond deep. The South Dakota 2029 class is deeper than the South Dakota 2028 class, in my opinion.

C3 Scouting starts with a Top 20.


Note: 6’5” G Lincoln Williamson (Rapid City Central) + 6’3” G Ayden Nelson (Clark/Willow Lake) are exempt but are considered top prospects. They will be added in the next update.


#1) Noah Woods (2029) 6’7” PF/Wing- Sioux Falls Washington

Woods got picked up by D1 Minnesota for the offseason. Elite length and leaping ability. Could get up to 6’9” and be a problem on the glass. Can shoot the three and keep a defense honest. I think he turns out to be more of a 4-man than a wing.


#2) Loyall Smith-Wade (2029) 6’1” Point Guard- Aberdeen Christian

High-upside lefty guard. Can play on and off the ball. Elite vertical and athleticism. Needs to sharpen-up ball-handling and playing fast, always.
