<p><strong>1.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="1158261" first="Peter" last="Moe"] (Iowa City West) - 21.9</strong></p>
<p>The son of former Hawkeye Jeff Moe, Peter burst onto the scene last year with a 41-point outburst against City High in his first Iowa high school game. A 6-8 forward who moved to Iowa City from Indianapolis, Moe can score inside and out at a high clip, posting 54-39-81 shooting splits. He has a silky smooth stroke from the arc, the ability to score at will on the block, and he can take bigger defenders off the dribble and get to the rim. His 8.1 free throw attempts per game last season led Class 4A.</p>

<p>A lefty with a smooth stroke off the dribble and a knack for creating his own shot, Miner accounted for nearly 36% of the Mohawks total points last season. While he's great at creating his own look, he's perhaps even better when he's able to play off the ball and make the defender chase him. He has a quick release and extended range off the catch. He has a smooth offensive game and the ability to create looks for others.</p>

<p>The newly appointed #1 player in the 2022 class, Dix, a 6-5 wing, holds offers from a handful of high-major programs, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Purdue. He's highly efficient, posting 55-38-73 shooting splits last year, and has the ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor with his high IQ and length. He knows when to take over games, and will be looking to lead the Lynx to their first state title this year.</p>

<p>One of the purest scorers in the state, Kingery is a 6-5/6-6 wing with great length and a silky stroke from behind the arc. He uses his size advantage to get his shot off whenever he wants, and he has really improved his ball-handling and shot-creating abilities over the last few years. He'll pace an Indianola offensive attack that could lead 4A in scoring this year. He currently holds an offer from North Dakota.</p>

<p><strong>5.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962490" first="Eli" last="Raridon"] (Valley) - 17.6</strong></p>
<p>It remains to be seen if Raridon will play basketball this winter, but if he does, he'll be a dynamic scorer for the Tigers once again. The Notre Dame football commit is a skilled 6-7 combo forward who can score inside and out with remarkable efficiency. He can take bigger defenders off the dribble and get to the rim, or he can bully smaller defenders on the block and score at will. An athletic, physical forward, Raridon is primed to have a massive senior season for Valley, if he plays.</p>

<p>One of two high-scoring Wolverines on this list, Hayes is an explosive athlete who is absolutely electric in transition. He's a good ball-handler who uses his long strides and quick first step to help him get into the paint and finish around the rim. His jumper is developing nicely, which will just make this 6-2 wing an even more dangerous scoring threat.</p>

<p><strong>7.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956876" first="Chase" last="Henderson"] (Hoover) - 17.4</strong></p>
<p>Henderson recently picked up his first Division I offer from South Dakota, and it's easy to see why he's garnering that type of attention. A 6-1 scoring guard, he gets to the rim at will and is a creative finisher who is becoming more efficient as he matures physically. He has limitless range on his jumper and can get his shot off whenever he wants to, using a quick first step and great footwork to create space for himself. He's also a talented passer who gets others involved.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Keeon-Hutton.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1260531" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/08/Keeon-Hutton-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a>8.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="962663" first="Keeon" last="Hutton"] (Sioux City West) - 16.7</strong></p>
<p>The other high-scoring Wolverine on this top 10, Hutton is a slightly better perimeter shooter than Hayes, and he has the ability to create looks for himself and others. He stuffs the stat sheet on both ends of the floor and is a very efficient finisher around the bucket. A long, athletic guard</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>9.) 2022 [player_tooltip player_id="682291" first="Armonniey" last="Thomas"] (Marshalltown) - 16.6</strong></p>
<p>Thomas is a 6-0 lead guard who holds an offer from Florida International. He's super long, and he uses that length to help him on both ends of the floor. An explosive athlete who competes on the glass on both ends, his length allows him to finish at a high level around the rim. If he can continue to improve his perimeter shooting, he could become one of the most dynamic scoring threats in the state. </p>

<p>The future Iowa State lead guard showed no ill effects of the ACL injury that caused him to miss his entire sophomore year, leading the Little Cyclones to the semifinals while posting 52-38-70 splits. A big, physical lead guard with a great first step, he gets to the rim at will and has a picturesque jumper off the dribble. A dynamic playmaker and two-way player, he's one of the best on-ball defenders in the state and will be an impact player for the Cyclones.</p>
