Midwest Underrated Prospects
C3 Scouting’s Midwest prospects that are being undervalued and ones to watch in the 2026 offseason.
Introducing C3 Scouting’s underrated prospects in the Midwest. These prospects are of different value and are underrated given their respective states. For example, some of the Minnesota prospects are more highly-recruited than the South Dakota and North Dakota prospects.
To get some content out there, I’m starting with a list with some stats and will add more analysis and prospects as we go. An ongoing series, if you will.
Willie Roelofs (MN) 6’8 2027 wing, Mahtomedi High School
22.0 points per game
43-point game, 34-point game
1,000 career points
Deon Wallace-Johnson (MN) 6’3 2027 guard, DeLaSalle High School
~ 13.3 points per game
DWJ is considered a top 20 2027 prospect in Minnesota, but I still think he’s getting undersold. Elite athlete with two-way ability. Crazy shot-blocker for a guard and extremely bouncy and explosive. When I complete the Minnesota 2027 rankings, he will be higher than you’d think.
