Blakey is a great athlete who can defend multiple positions, providing his team with a ton of versatility on that end of the floor. He’s an explosive leaper who can contribute on the glass on both ends of the floor, and he’s really good when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim.
(165) SG Tanner Berggren Tanner Berggren 6'3" | SF Bondurant-Farrar | 2024 State IA (Bondurant-Farrar)
A fluid three-level scorer who can play with or without the ball in his hands, Berggren figures to step into a much bigger role next year for the Bluejays. He’s a knockdown shooter off the catch who moves well without the ball, and he’s improving as a playmaker and defender.
(168) SG Owen Havlik (Linn-Mar)
A long, smart 6-2 wing, Havlik is at his best when he’s playing downhill and getting to the rim, but he’s a good enough perimeter shooting threat that it needs to be respected. He’s a solid secondary ball-handler and playmaker, and he uses his length effectively on the defensive end.
(201) SG Haiden Hardy Haiden Hardy 6'2" | SG Clear Creek Amana | 2024 State IA (Clear Creek Amana)
Hardy is coming off a strong junior season for the Clippers in which he led the team in scoring (12.6 points a game) and showed that he can contribute on the glass (5.1) and as a playmaker (2.7 assists). A 6-2 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, he’ll need to develop his perimeter stroke, but he’s a dangerous scorer when he’s attacking.
(204) SF Hunter Holmes Hunter Holmes 6'3" | SF Center Point Urbana | 2024 State IA (Center Point-Urbana)
A 6-3 wing who can really shoot it off the catch, Holmes averaged 8.2 points and knocked down nearly 41% of his 3-point attempts as a junior.
(222) SG Brady Schulz Brady Schulz 6'2" | SG North Polk | 2024 State IA (North Polk)
Schulz played sparingly for the state qualifying Comets last year, but should step into a much larger role as a senior. He’s played extremely well with Iowa Hoop Dreams to start the spring, showing that he can really shoot it at a high clip off the catch.
(225) SF Idris Thomas Idris Thomas 6'4" | SF Davenport West | 2024 State IA (Davenport West)
An athletic 6-4 wing with good size and length, Thomas can score in bunches when he’s attacking the bucket. He averaged 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds a game as a junior.
(228) SG Justin Guynn Justin Guynn 6'1" | SG Storm Lake | 2024 State IA (Storm Lake)
Guynn averaged 12.0 points and 2.3 assists a game as a junior for the Tornadoes. A 6-1 guard who has the ball in his hands a ton, he’s at his best when he’s using his quickness to attack the rim.
