Holiday Break Check-In: Top 10 4A Rebounders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.) 2023 Omaha Biliew (Waukee) - 11.0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Biliew is the best player in the state, so it should come as no surprise that he finds himself on this list in addition to being on the top scorers countdown. He's 6-8, long, incredibly athletic, and remarkably skilled. It's easy to see why he's a top-10 national prospect, and people around the state need to get out and see him - he's the type of long-term prospect that our state hasn't seen since Harrison Barnes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1381403' first='Creighton' last='Bracker'] (Council Bluffs Lincoln) - 10.9 rebounds per game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of two Lynx on this top 10, Bracker is a physical 6-6 forward with great hands. He's a mobile big man who can protect the painted area, finish around the rim, occasionally step out and stretch the floor, and he's a talented enough passer that the offense can flow through him as well. He's having a really strong sophomore season for CBAL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='956868' first='Pryce' last='Sandfort'] (Waukee Northwest) - 10.3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The future Hawkeye wing has been stellar on the glass again this season, using his long 6-7 frame to snatch rebounds away from the opposition. He's a really good ball-handler and decision-maker who leads the break after pulling down a defensive rebound as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171682' first='Caden' last='Wilkins'] (Bettendorf) - 9.6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical 6-6 wing who uses his strength to his advantage on both ends of the floor, Wilkins is the top-ranked player in the 2024 class and has been really good so far this season for the Bulldogs, averaging 21.9 points and 3.3 assists a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1239874' first='Braeden' last='Carlson'] (Norwalk) - 9.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-4 Carlson has been really good for the Warriors during the pre-break portion of the schedule, averaging 15.7 points a game on 57% shooting. He's a high IQ player who understands angles, makes contact on his box outs, and does a good job high-pointing the ball on rebounds. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476939' first='Dalen' last='Huston'] (Marshalltown) - 9.0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huston is a fantastic athlete (if you need evidence, check out Pure Prep's Twitter page, they'll routinely post videos of his dunks) who is enjoying a breakout year for the Bobcats, averaging 14.1 points a game and shooting over 50% from the field. A bouncy 6-4/6-5 combo forward who can handle it a bit, he uses that stellar athleticism and good size to control the glass on both ends of the floor. He's a player who could be on the radar of small schools around the Midwest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1469775' first='Nolan' last='Mosier'] (Davenport North) - 8.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-5 forward who is enjoying a breakout senior year for the Wildcats, Mosier is putting up 16.1 points and has more than twice as many rebounds as any other player on the roster. He has good size and is a physical player with great hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1256295' first='Kavon' last='Phillips'] (North Scott) - 8.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Phillips is one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2024 class, an athletic and long 6-7 wing who has always had potential and is really starting to put it all together now, averaging 15.6 points and 2.4 assists to go with his rebounding. He's a bouncy wing who can put the ball on the floor and get to the bucket, and he's been really strong on the glass for the Lancers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9.) 2023 Mathok Mathok (Council Bluffs Lincoln) - 8.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A transfer into CBAL from Omaha South, Mathok is an intriguing 6-6/6-7 forward who is drawing interest from JuCos because of his blend of size, athleticism, and length. He's averaging a team-high 17.0 points to go with his prowess on the glass on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10.) 2023 [player_tooltip player_id='1469837' first='Jameel' last='Montgomery'] (Waterloo East) - 8.7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-4 forward, Montgomery has provided the Trojans with a lot of value on both ends of the floor so far this season, averaging 10.4 points and blocking nearly 2 shots a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
