PAIGE BUECKERS:

The freshman guard opened the season by leading the Royals, ranked No. 1 in the Class 4A preseason poll, to victories over Osseo and Moorhead.

On Friday, she scored 28 points and had five steals and four assists in the Royals’ season-opening 74-34 victory over Osseo. On Saturday, she had 27 points, six rebounds and six steals in a 75-52 victory over Moorhead.

In the two games, she shot 78 percent from the field — 21-of-27 – and she contributed 11 steals and 11 rebounds.

As an eighth-grader last season, Bueckers led the Royals in three-point shooting and was second in assists as a reserve. Bueckers was named to the Class 4A all-tournament team at the state tournament.

“Paige is the first player on the floor for practice. Last one to leave the floor,” Royals coach Brian Cosgriff said. “She has a tremendous basketball IQ and receives coaching very well.”

Bueckers already has scholarship offers from the Gophers, Iowa State and Illinois
 

Haven't seen any video on her. She must be the real deal. 3 major offers as a freshman.
 

I saw her in last year's state tourney. Playing on a talented veteran team, her talent and potential was obvious.. Good to see that the Gopher staff identified quickly. In years past, they were sometimes slow to identify in-state talent.
