UND hot after Anderson

Tor Anderson may be the most underappreciated player in Minnesota's 2010 class. Because a transfer to Minnetonka left him sitting out as a junior and he played his AAU ball exclusively on the road this year few in state are aware of what he can do. But a big senior year is expected from Tor whose game has become well rounded.

Tor took the floor with Cole Stefan, Chanse Creekmur, Shaun Jensen, Joe Hanstad, and D.J. Peterson this off-season competing with Net Gain. To say this group had backcourt talent is a gross underestimation and the experience was solid for Tor.

"This summer was great, we went to a ton of very fun tournaments and played some of the best players in the country," explained Anderson. "I had a blast all of July when we were in Milwaukee, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

"AAU has helped so much because it is completely different from the high school season and the style of game that is played. It has more similarities to the college game and I think that will help when I go into college basketball. I have lost close to 30 pounds since the end of the high school season and my quickness and speed has really improved."

For those who haven't seen Tor play lately he's not overstating his ability. A couple weekends back at the Sweet 16 at St. John's Tor Anderson was attacking the basket off the bounce like he was Kenny Anderson.

The next stage for Tor is his recruitment and training for his senior season. With fall league weeks down the road Tor is waiting to hear what's next with recruiting. This off-season he attended camps at Montana State and North Dakota.

"Right now I have mainly been hearing from North Dakota but my AAU coach said there are some things that could potentially happen in the next week or so," Anderson explained. "I have an offer from North Dakota. I will try to get up there with my family sometime before school starts for me."

Many are anxious to see Minnetonka play this year. With Anderson, Stefan, and Nick Latzke all big time shooters on the wing no team in Minnesota can match their three point shooting power.

"This season should be a blast," said Tor. "We have one of the strongest back courts in the state and arguably the best shooting back court as well. We really need to focus on playing solid defense and the season should be very successful if we can do that."
