Berggren had a great showing in Hoop Dream’s win over the Wildcats, scoring 19 efficient points in a variety of ways. He pounds the offensive glass and gets putbacks. He can create shots off the dribble. He can post up smaller defenders and score around the rim, and he’s an exceptional shooter, especially off the catch. He has a high, smooth release and plenty of range. He’s also a strong secondary ball-handler and playmaker. This was an outstanding performance on both ends.
PF Evan Hammer Evan Hammer 6'4" | PF Carroll | 2024 State IA | Iowa Hoop Dreams | Carroll, IA
Hammer is a hyper efficient forward who does a great job finishing around the rim through contact with either hand. He’s a tremendous rebounder on both ends of the floor and plays with a non-stop motor. He does a great job shielding the ball from the defender on his finishes.
SG Brady Schulz Brady Schulz 6'2" | SG North Polk | 2024 State IA | Iowa Hoop Dreams | North Polk, IA
A tremendous shooter who moves really well without the ball in his hands, Schulz knocked down shot after shot off the catch, showing a quick release and a ton of range. He has his feet squared on the catch and does a great job using off-ball screens to free himself. He showed strong secondary ball-handling and playmaking ability as well.
SF DeAndre Holloway | West Central Wildcats | Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, MN
Holloway was outstanding in the Wildcats’ loss to Iowa Hoop Dreams, scoring from all three levels and showing a lot of long-term potential. A 6-7 wing who can stretch the floor, protect the rim, and control the glass, he impacts the game at a high level on both ends of the floor. He’s an explosive athlete with a great second leap.
SF Ty Pflughaupt Ty Pflughaupt 6'4" | SF North Linn | 2024 State IA | Iowa Prep Platinum | North Linn, IA
Pflughaupt is a high upside player with the ability to make a major impact on the game on both ends of the floor. He’s a versatile defender with great size and length at 6-6. He protects the rim at a high level and is a great team defender who blocks shots at an extremely high rate. He can score inside against smaller defenders and is great as a catch-and-shoot threat. He’s a great 3-and-D prospect that smaller schools need to be monitoring.
SF Matthew Darbouze Matthew Darbouze 6'4" | SF Linn-Mar | 2024 State IA | Iowa Prep Platinum | Linn-Mar, IA
Darbouze had a great second half in Prep’s win over Minnesota Rush, showing the ability to get to the rim routinely both off the dribble and in transition. He’s a high-flying athlete who loves to finish above the rim, and he uses his athleticism to compete on the glass on both ends of the floor.
PF Kanyon Bryte Kanyon Bryte 6'8" | C Western Dubuque | 2024 State IA | Iowa Prep Platinum | Western Dubuque, IA
Bryte has a bit of a throwback game, a strong back-to-the-basket scorer with exceptional footwork and touch around the rim. He has an array of moves and counter moves on his post touches. A mobile big who runs the floor well and can protect the paint defensively, he’s also great on the glass on both ends of the floor. He showed some court vision and playmaking out of the high post as well.
PF Patrick Shobe Patrick Shobe 6'6" | PF Monticello | 2024 State MN | Minnesota Rush | Monticello, MN
A 6-6 big man who can stretch the floor and finish around the bucket at a high clip on both ends of the floor, Shobe finished with 11 points in Rush’s loss to Iowa Prep.
SF Kyan Blomquist Kyan Blomquist 6'4" | SF Becker | 2024 State MN | Minnesota Rush | Becker, MN
Blomquist is a power wing who uses his strength to get to the bucket routinely for finishes through contact. He has a quick release off the catch and can score off the bounce or the catch.
