He's impossible to keep off the glass at this level, putting up 20+ rebound game routinely. In addition to his work on the glass, he protects the paint at an elite level, showing a propensity for shot blocking while also staying out of foul trouble. He is garnering Division I interest due to his impeccable blend of size, athleticism, and raw talent.   2.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167703" first="Sage" last="Evans"] (West Harrison) - 14.5 One of two Evans' boys on this list, Sage is the shorter of the two at 6-1, but he's a dominant rebounder who pulls down pulled down 5.5 offensive boards a game last season. His relentless motor, athleticism, and hands lead to a ton of rebounds on a nightly basis. He can stretch the floor (41.9 3P%), pass it (3.6 assists), and is an opportunistic defender as well (2.4 steals). A do-it-all player for what will be one of 1A's best teams.   3.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962683" first="Ben" last="DeMeulenaere"] (Belle Plaine) - 13.0 The next in a long line of successful DeMeulenaere's at Belle Plaine, the 6-4 senior is an efficient scorer in the paint (62.5 FG%) with excellent hands. He plays hard all the time, and out-hustles opponents to loose ball rebounds, which helps pad his incredible rebounding numbers.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Eddie-Burgess-new-crop-2786x1829-1615314807-crop-640x421-1615314816.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1147232" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Eddie-Burgess-new-crop-2786x1829-1615314807-crop-640x421-1615314816-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>4.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962629" first="Eddie" last="Burgess"] (Montezuma) - 12.7 Also a standout on the gridiron in 8-man football, Burgess was arguably the most important player on the Braves' 1A championship run last March. An athletic 6-4 forward with great strength and outstanding hands, he grabs every rebound within his area and is an excellent passer to boot. He's a highly efficient scorer who also anchors the Braves 2-3 zone, protecting the rim and controlling the paint.   5.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962678" first="Kaden" last="Hall"] (English Valleys) - 12.5 An athletic 6-3 forward, Hall has long been one of the most productive players in the 2022 class. He averaged 19.7 points and 2.3 blocks with his 12.5 rebounds a game. He's an agile big who can stretch the floor a bit and finish effectively around the rim.   6.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1235030" first="Cooper" last="Kock"] (Ar-We-Va) - 10.6 Kock is a 6-2 forward who averaged just 7.8 points a game but was dominant on the glass, pulling down 3.5 offensive rebounds a game. His offensive game is still a work in progress, but he's excellent on the glass, using his size, physicality and hands to dominate that area.   7.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158450" first="Dallas" last="Kluender"] (Woodbury Central) - 10.3 A versatile scoring threat at 6-4, Kluender also found himself on the top returning scorers list after averaging 20.5 points a game last year. He can stretch the floor, finish around the rim, and take defenders off the dribble.   8.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167693" first="Koleson" last="Evans"] (West Harrison) - 9.8 The 6-5 junior is an intriguing player due to his size, rebounding, and ability to stretch the floor. He knocked down 44.7% of his 3-point attempts last year, and his length allows him to impact the game on the defensive end as well. Like Sage, Koleson is a monster on the offensive glass, pulling down 4.2 offensive rebounds a game.   9.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1167717" first="Lance" last="Berends"] (HMS) - 9.8 Berends is also a standout defensive lineman, a big, physical presence in the paint with great physicality, the ability to run the floor, and excellent hands. He's an efficient scorer in the paint, shooting 62% from the floor, and he crashes the glass hard on both ends of the floor.   <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Trey-Kriener-crop-2786x1829-1615315506-crop-498x327-1615315520.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1147267" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/03/Trey-Kriener-crop-2786x1829-1615315506-crop-498x327-1615315520-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>10.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158422" first="Trey" last="Kriener"] (South Winneshiek) - 9.6 A versatile 6-7 stretch-4, Kriener runs the floor well, establishing early post position and finishing effectively around the rim. He's a capable 3-point shooter who can also protect the rim. He crashes the glass hard on both ends of the floor, using his size and athleticism to outleap opposing players.
