Bigs Added to Class of 2021

<p>67 [player_tooltip player_id="1134420" first="Brennan" last="Brumbaugh"], Goodland:</p> <p>The 6-foot-4 senior is hardly a ‘big’ in the classic sense. He’s a guard/wing who can light it up from distance. He’s such a problem for defenses, he’s been seeing box-and-1 and face-guarded his entire senior season. It hasn’t thwarted this shooter, however. He’s getting to the line for seven attempts per game. He is averaging 18 points, and 7 boards per game. He is smart enough to pass out of the junk defenses, collecting 3 assists per game too.</p> <p>92 [player_tooltip player_id="1134424" first="Vance" last="Shewey"], Meade:</p> <p>Meade is currently ranked #5 in 1A Div. 1, and it’s Shewey leading the way. The 6-foot-4 forward blocks shots and is a thief on the defensive end. He crashes the boards for 8.4 rebounds a game. And he is a solid all-around scorer, posting an 18.4 points per game average. His numbers were slightly better as a junior, but he’s remained productive even though opponents are doing all they can to slow him down.</p> <p>95 [player_tooltip player_id="1134425" first="Charlie" last="Goree"], Collegiate:</p> <p>The rangy 6-foot-4 guard/wing can be a dynamic threat from deep, but he’s also got a really effective mid-range arsenal. He can drive and pull up, get to the hole, and is athletic enough to create space. On the defensive end, he is known for chasing down plays and making impressive blocks at the rim.</p> <p>115 [player_tooltip player_id="1134439" first="Kobe" last="Koehler"], Rose Hill:</p> <p>Koehler has a nice stroke from distance, and is a versatile player on a balanced Rose Hill club. His lanky 6-foot-3 frame and athleticism is tough for defenders to match. He throws down some nice dunks, scores consistently, and does it within the framework of the Rockets’ offense.</p> <p>124 [player_tooltip player_id="1134440" first="Wyatt" last="Lange"], Clifton-Clyde:</p> <p>The Eagles are currently ranked #4 in 1A Div. 1, largely on the strength of the 6-foot-6 big man Lange. His sturdy frame and athleticism make him a tough defender – he blocks 2.6 shots per game. Offensively, his numbers fluctuate pretty significantly depending upon the opponent, but he’s averaging 15 points per game, with several games in the 20s. He is also a top-notch rebounder, collecting over 9 boards per contest.</p> <p>138 [player_tooltip player_id="1134451" first="Will" last="Rau"], Veritas (pictured):</p> <p>Rau is dominating the small-school level. He is 6-foot-4, but plays like a ‘point forward,’ handling the ball, dishing out nearly 5 assists per game, and shooting from the perimeter. His athleticism is a nightmare for the small school defenders. He gets to the line a ton, and is currently averaging 23 points per game. The competition isn’t always stellar, but Rau tossed in 28 and 27 in games against Cair Paravel, and 27 against Manhattan CHIEF as evidence he’s legit.</p> <p>152 [player_tooltip player_id="1134453" first="Miles" last="Kitselman"], Lyndon:</p> <p>Headed to Emporia State on a football scholarship, this guy is big, rugged and athletic. The 6-foot-5 powerhouse can run the floor, pass effectively and has great hands. He’s a nightmare on the block, but he can also get out on the perimeter and help facilitate the offense. He doesn’t pull the trigger much from distance, but he’s got a good mid-range game and is a standout when it comes to chasing plays.</p> <p>165 [player_tooltip player_id="1134454" first="Cameron" last="Campusano"], Rural Vista:</p> <p>The numbers don’t lie. Campusano has been one of the best rebounders in the state for the past two seasons. A 6-foot-3 hustler, he collects 13 boards a game, after recording 11.7 a game as a junior. He averages about 10 points per game as well, but it’s his defense and rebounding that make him special on the small school level.</p>
