[player_tooltip player_id="727863" first="Payton" last="Sandfort"] (Waukee, 2021) - 8.7 rebounds per game</strong></p>
<p>The Iowa signee makes a major impact on both ends of the floor, averaging 19.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 blocks a game as a junior. He’s also one of the best shooters in the Midwest.</p>

<p>The best player in the state, DeVries has really blown up in the last year. A 6-7 shooter with great ball-handling skills and limitless range, he’s the leading scorer for a Warriors team that is one of the most talented the state has ever seen. He’ll play his college ball at Drake, for his dad.</p>

<p>A hyper-athletic wing, Labeaux moved from Waterloo East to Ames, and will be the running mate for star guard [player_tooltip player_id="682279" first="Tamin" last="Lipsey"]. He’s got explosive athleticism and great length, which he uses to outleap opposing players for boards. </p>

<p>A five-star tight end prospect on the gridiron, Fidone will play college football at Nebraska. He uses his size, strength and athleticism to be a force on the glass on the hardwood as well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>8.) [player_tooltip player_id="962490" first="Eli" last="Raridon"] (Valley, 2022) - 6.9 rebounds per game</strong></p>
