Clockwise from left, Delano's Max Iversen (North Dakota State), Wayzata's Christian Wiggins (Iowa State) and East Ridge's Cedric Tomes (Minnesota) are among Class of 2026 prospects with Division I commitments in place.

Entering the spring, Delano’s Max Iversen had no Division I scholarship offers while playing on an AAU basketball team that featured seven D-I prospects, including Gophers recruit Cedric Tomes.

Iversen missed most of his junior season with a back injury, but he fully recovered just in time to impress coaches during the first live recruiting period.

In mid-May, North Dakota State was in attendance to watch him shine at the Adidas event in Omaha. The 6-3 sharpshooting point guard finished among the tournament’s breakout players.

After picking up his first Division I offer from the Bison, Iversen could’ve waited, like many players, to see if a good spring could turn into a great summer with more offers.

But Iversen committed last week since NDSU grew on him ever since an unofficial visit to Fargo last year.
