Bishop Heelan | 2024
State
IA
| SF | Heelan
The move: 8 to 5
An explosive wing scorer who is capable of dropping 30 on any given night, Noll is the ideal blend of size, length, athleticism, and three-level scoring that will have college coaches interested. He has a pure shooting stroke and has really improved his ability to create his own shot, which has opened up the rest of his offensive arsenal and made him a top-five player in this class.

Decorah | 2024

| PG | Decorah
The move: 24 to 14
A lightning-quick lead guard who was one of the best players for a very good Decorah team as a sophomore, McCain has the ability to break down a defender and get to the bucket where he’s a strong finisher with either hand. He does a good job playing with pace and changing speeds, and he has really improved his jumper over the last year, turning himself into a deadly shooting threat as well. He plays hard on both ends of the floor and has the length and athleticism to be a solid defender.

| SG | Kennedy
The move: 19 to 15
An explosive athlete who is also a standout on the gridiron, Courtney had a really good sophomore season for the Cougars on both ends of the floor, showcasing his ability to get to the bucket, create for others, knock down mid-range jumpers, and defend multiple positions at a high level. He’s oozing with potential as a wing defender and playmaker.
Cole Marsh

| SG | Waverly-Shell Rock
The move: 39 to 19
A big-bodied 6-4 wing who can score from all three levels, Marsh had a strong sophomore season with the Go-Hawks, averaging 14.4 points and 4.7 rebounds, and has played well with Martin Brothers this spring. He’s able to absorb contact and finish around the rim, and he has a strong jumper as well.
Grant Tigges

Waukee Northwest | 2024
State
IA
| SG | Waukee Northwest
The move: 31 to 22
A 6-4 wing with good size and outstanding range, Tigges was a good role player as a sophomore for one of 4A’s best teams, and he looks like he’s ready to take his game up another notch. He’s improved his ability to create his own shot and uses that to open up the rest of his offensive game. When he’s given an inch of space, he’s a knockdown shooter, and he shoots it at an extremely high level off the catch. He rebounds well on both ends of the floor and is a strong team defender.
Kyler Gerardy

Gerardy

North Scott | 2024
State
IA
| PG | North Scott
The move: 53 to 24
A typical North Scott guard, Gerardy is going to get after you on the defensive end and make opposing ball-handlers work hard just to bring the ball up. He’s tough and dgets to the rim where he’s a good finisher. He’s a good enough shooter that it needs to be respected, and he’s a reliable ball-handler and decision-maker who can get others involved.
Gage Kampman

Iowa City Liberty | 2024
State

| PF | Liberty
The move: 43 to 25
Kampman may have one of the highest upsides of any of the players in the 2024 class. A 6-7 rim-runner with a long wingspan, he can protect the paint and is a capable defender when switched onto smaller perimeter players. He’s raw offensively, but has good hands and touch around the bucket.
Brady Martin

West Burlington | 2024

| SG | West Burlington
The move: 37 to 29
A high IQ guard who moves well off the ball and is a knockdown shooter off the catch, Martin has played really well as a dynamic scorer and playmaker this spring for the Iowa Barnstormers.
Reid Burkle
Reid
Burkle
6'5" | PF
Prairie | 2024
State
IA
| SF | Prairie
The move: 48 to 37
A bouncy athlete who competes hard on the glass on both ends of the floor, Burkle is a bit more perimeter-oriented than his older brother Gabe, but plays with the same physicality and athleticism around the bucket when he’s in the painted area. He has the length and athleticism to be an impact defender across multiple positions.
Jesse Van Kalsbeek

| SG | MOC-Floyd Valley
The move: 59 to 45
A 6-0 off-ball guard, Van Kalsbeek put together a fantastic sophomore season as a scorer, averaging 16.2 points on 57-38-80 shooting splits. He moves well without the ball, has a quick release, and can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim for finishes. He does a good job contributing across the board as well, averaging 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 steals a game.
