Minnesota State head coach Matt Margenthaler has announced that five student-athletes will join the Maverick men’s basketball team in the fall of 2023.

All signings and transfers are contingent upon admission to MSU and compliance with NCAA rules, including certification by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

Jalen Cain, Justin Eagins, Elijah Hazekamp, Will Opsahl and Dylan Peeters make up the 2023-24 men’s basketball recruiting class.

“These five student-athletes will be a great addition to our program next season,” Margenthaler said. “With the two freshmen and three transfers I believe we filled every spot needed for our roster.”

A guard from Minneapolis, Minn., Jalen Cain helped the Minnetonka boy’s basketball team to a section championship during the 2022-23 season as he helped his team finish with a 23-8 record. During his final two seasons at Minnetonka, Cain helped the Skippers put together a 41-17 record.

As a junior, Cain averaged 15.2 points per game. He notched a season-high 23 points against Farmington. As a senior, Cain averaged 12.4 points per game. He scored at least 10 points in 16 games during his senior campaign, including a season-high 25 points against White Bear Lake. In the section championship game, Cain recorded 11 points against Chanhassen.

A junior guard from Downers Grove, Ill., Justin Eagins has played the last three seasons as a member of Wayne State College men’s basketball team. Eagins earned NSIC Freshman of the Year honors during the 2020-21 season, before claiming All-NSIC First Team honors during the 2021-22 season. During his second season with the Wildcats, Eagins started all 26 games while averaging 16.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Against Sioux Falls, he notched a career-high 28 points.

During the 2022-23 season, Eagins started 28 of WSC’s 29 games as he averaged 11.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. For his career, he notched 882 points, 302 rebounds and 147 assists.

A senior guard from Sioux City, Iowa, Elijah Hazekamp has played the last three seasons at Truman state. During his career with the Bulldogs, he started in 80 games, while averaging 13.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while shooting 46.0% from the field and 42.7% from three point range. He notched 1,043 career points and 593 career rebounds with the Bulldogs.

During the 2022-23 season, Hazekamp notched five double-doubles, including three to open the season. He scored at least 20 points or more in nine games, including a career-high 29 against Illinois-Springfield. He was named to the All-GLVC First Team for his efforts. Prior to joining Truman State, he played one season at North Dakota where he appeared in 16 games.

A guard from Goodhue, Minn., Will Opsahl helped his team to a 23-7 record as the Wildcats advanced to the section championship game during his junior season. As a senior, Opsahl helped his team to a second place finish in conference as the team advanced to its second consecutive section championship game behind a 26-4 record.

In the 2022-23 section quarter finals against Rushford-Peterson, Opsahl tallied 28 points, 12 rebounds and six assists as Goodhue won 60-50. Opsahl then helped Goodhue overcome a 10-point deficit in the second half to defeat Lyle/Austin Pacelli in the section semifinals as he recorded 22 points.

A senior forward from Eldridge, Iowa, Dylan Peeters played in 111 games at Truman State during the last four seasons, including 50 starts. He averaged 7.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game during his career with the Bulldogs as he shot 59.3% from the field. In total, Peeters recorded 877 career points and 635 rebounds at TSU.

Fixed it for you, the rest was not relevant to this category.

I do like the line though that all signings and transfers are contingent upon admission to mankato state. hahahaha It might be the easiest college in the Upper Midwest to get in to.

Two of the others were transfer portal additions as well....

You are so correct. This is a player transfer thread. So why would MSU be different than St. Cloud as far as low admission standards?

Because Mankato is trying to grow enrollment and St. Cloud is trying to cancel itself

You are absolutely correct, I have fixed my fix. :)

Hearing the Mustangs are in the mix on someone from the Summit League.

Thinking he should be a great fit at the 3 with Dunwa and Cliff.

They are much different. St Cloud admits 94% of students. Basically anyone that’s dumb enough to apply there. MSU admits 69%, which is less than UofM, U of Iowa, and all the other Minnesota State schools. Even below prestigious Augustana at 72%. I do understand the amount of applicants obviously varies though.

So in actuality, they have one of the lower acceptance rates in the upper Midwest. Strange that he’s so wrong…

If you ask me today, those three plus Phipps and Lund is a pretty good starting five going into next season.
