Eli Campbell- 6' 2019 PG, Minneapolis North, Grassroots Sizzle
2017-18 Stats: 12.1 ppg and 2.3 apg
With a junior season cut short due to injury, Eli Campbell is a name to watch for as he bounces back for his senior year. A quick guard with a good outside shot, Eli was the third leading scorer for North before his injury. He shot over 40% from three, and put up a 30 point game against Minneapolis South. With North graduating their two leading scorers, and losing talented 2022 Tre Holloman due to transfer, Campbell will have big shoes to fill as a senior leader. Look for the shifty point guard to be putting up consistent 20 point games, catching the attention of college coaches.
