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.
2.) 2023 Pryce Sandfort Pryce Sandfort 6'7" | SF Waukee Northwest | 2023 State #123 Nation IA (Waukee Northwest) – 10.3
The future Hawkeye is the top returning scorer in the class, and he averaged a double-double last year from his wing position. 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.
3.) 2023 Drew Kingery Drew Kingery 6'4" | SF Indianola | 2023 State IA (Indianola) – 7.4
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.
4.) 2023 Braeden Carlson Braeden Carlson 6'4" | SF Norwalk | 2023 State IA (Norwalk) – 7.3
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.
5.) 2023 Kadyn Proctor Kadyn Proctor 6'6" | PF Southeast Polk | 2023 IA (Southeast Polk) – 7.3
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.
6.) 2023 Paul Henry (Muscatine) – 7.2
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).
7.) 2023 David Caulker David Caulker 6'5" | PF Des Moines North | 2023 State IA (Des Moines North) – 7.1
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.
8.) 2024 David Gorsline David Gorsline 6'2" | SG Pleasant Valley | 2024 State IA (Pleasant Valley) – 7.0
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.
9.) 2023 Jameel Montgomery Jameel Montgomery 6'3" | SF Waterloo East | 2023 State IA (Waterloo East) – 6.9
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.
10.) 2023 Lucas Weiner Lucas Weiner 6'8" | PF Clinton | 2023 State IA (Clinton) – 6.9
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.
