Class 4A Leading Returning Rebounders

<strong>1.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1171694" first="Tyron" last="Wright"] (Des Moines East) - 12.7 rebounds per game</strong> Wright has established himself as one of the state's elite rebounders in his first two high school seasons, averaging 10.9 boards a game as a freshman and 12.7 as a sophomore. He's a mobile, athletic 6-6 big man with great hands and a relentless motor on the glass. He pulled down 5.4 offensive rebounds a game last season, which helped contribute to his 13.7 points a night.

He's long, athletic, and tough, and he uses his length to effectively control the glass on both ends of the floor. Also a talented playmaker, he is more than capable of pulling down a defensive rebound and leading the break. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Drew-Kingery-crop-3106x2040-1624124696.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1219183" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/Drew-Kingery-crop-3106x2040-1624124696-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a>3.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="956873" first="Drew" last="Kingery"] (Indianola) - 7.4</strong> A highly skilled scorer and playmaker, Kingery became a reliable rebounder last year as well for the Indians, particularly on the defensive end, pulling down 6 defensive boards a game. He uses his length and athleticism to his advantage, skying over opposing players to snag errant shots. <strong>4.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1239874" first="Braeden" last="Carlson"] (Norwalk) - 7.3</strong> Carlson shined in his first year as a starter, averaging 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds for a young Warriors team that should be among the most improved in 4A this season. <strong>5.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1367393" first="Kadyn" last="Proctor"] (Southeast Polk) - 7.3</strong> One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the country, many of the same attributes (good hands, quick feet, big frame) that make him an elite lineman also make him a dominant rebounder on the hardwood. <strong>6.) 2023 Paul Henry (Muscatine) - 7.2</strong> Henry's stat line from last year looks like a Dennis Rodman throwback, averaging twice as many rebounds as points as a junior (3.6). <strong>7.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1367458" first="David" last="Caulker"] (Des Moines North) - 7.1</strong> Another future Iowa football player, Caulker is an athletic forward who uses his quick second jump to control the glass, particularly on the offensive end, where he averaged over 4 offensive boards a night for the Polar Bears. <strong>8.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id="1256301" first="David" last="Gorsline"] (Pleasant Valley) - 7.0</strong> Gorsline is an undersized forward at 6-2, but he plays with a non-stop motor and is a great athlete with excellent hands. He's the ultimate glue guy for the Spartans, defending multiple positions, scoring when the opportunity presents itself, and dominating the glass. <strong>9.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id="1469837" first="Jameel" last="Montgomery"] (Waterloo East) - 6.9</strong> An athletic 6-3 wing, Montgomery did a great job rebounding from his perimeter spot last season, finishing second on the Trojans in boards. His work on the offensive glass helped contribute to a sterling 53.1 FG% as well. <strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8495-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1425631" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8495-225x300.jpg" alt="[player_tooltip player_id='1240100' first='Lucas' last='Weiner'] | The Traveling Hoopers" width="225" height="300" /></a>10.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1240100' first='Lucas' last='Weiner'] (Clinton) - 6.9</strong> A late bloomer and intriguing prospect, Weiner is a 6-8 big man who is coming off a productive summer with the Barnstormers. Following the graduations of a number of major scorers from last year's River Kings roster, he'll be asked to take another step up as a senior.
