Dillon Faubel (Treynor)
No. 101
What we wrote: “This kid was showing some razzle-dazzle routinely during live-game action. He’s a quick combo guard with some nice handles and great quickness. What was most impressive was his ability to create space and then hit the shot when he did. Just another nice prospect coming through the Treynor ranks — seems to be a theme.” – TJ Rushing
Dylan Stites (Chariton)
No. 107
What we wrote: “Right of the bat in live game action this Chariton shooting guard made his mark. He scored 11 of his teams first 20 points, and was hitting from all around the perimeter. His teammate Lim Chuol expressed the utmost confidence in him later in the evening, and it seems that Stites is poised to help fill a huge void left by 2016 Chariton star Daric Laing.” – TJ Rushing
Dadrian Hoambrecker (Burlington)
No.110
What we wrote: “Hoambrecker was sensational during the drills session, showcasing an all-around ability on both ends of the floor. He was a dynamite defender during the one-on-one and two-on-two sessions, with great lateral movement and long arms. He moves his feet extremely well and doesn’t take chances; he was a true lockdown defender. He showed the ability to shoot from the arc and mid-range, with a consistent release, and he is a decent ball handler who can get to the rim and finish. He disappeared at times during game play, and I’d like to see more consistent effort, but there are certainly tools here to work with.” – Tony Roe
Grant Johnson (Van Meter)
No. 139
What we wrote: “Johnson may have been the most impressive big with his post touches during game play. He establishes good position, has solid footwork and showed great touch with little baby hooks going over either shoulder. He does a nice job feeling out the defender and making a counter move. He’s got very good hands, a decent array of post moves and runs the floor well.” – Tony Roe
Carter Bachman (Ankeny Centennial)
No. 144
What we said: “A well-built post, Bachman was at his best during game play when operating in the pick-and-roll with Ben Lyon. He sets good, hard screens. He’s got good hands and the ability to finish with either one in traffic with touch around the rim. On the defensive end, he moves well, is capable of switching on pick-and-rolls, and is a decent shot blocker.” – Tony Roe
Cole Eischeid (Kuemper Catholic)
No. 145
What we said: “Eischeid is a kid who has flashed big-time potential whenever I’ve seen him, but also disappears at times. He was sensational during the drills portion of the Expo, showing the ability to handle the ball, knock down mid-range jumpers, dunk everything in sight and defend on the perimeter in one-on-one and two-on-two drills. There is a lot of talent here, to go with a big, athletic frame, but he needs to put it together consistently. If he does, he’ll be a force.” – Tony Roe
