He absolutely dominated Patrick White. Others would be Sam Rendle, Tyler Landman, and Mike Lee. Edina obviously has a good group, too.
Yes, and he probably won't get much bigger. His dad isn't big and his mom has to be about 100 lbs. He's got all the tools though, and from what I hear he's a very hard worker. I guess he can put on a pretty good show in the weight room for a guy his size. I love watching this kid. 2 more years of high school, 4 or less years @ the U, and who knows after that? Hopefully the Wild draft him! It will be fun to watch this kid play and develop.
Aaron Ness is just a very special player and I don't see where his size is really a problem because he is just so skilled and smart and can do things that others can't or won't do which diminishes the size issue. He is going to be a treat to watch at Mariucci in a couple of years! I thought he and Zach Budish were clearly the two best players at Model Camp and the two other Edina players, who's names escape me at the present time (sorry)were not far behind. Ryan Walters was also very good but I believe he is a year younger.

I agree 100%
I agree Ness is a very gifted athlete, and he is fun to watch.
