Class 2A: Top 10 Returning Rebounders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1751187' first='Jack' last='Vanfossan'] (Underwood) - 12.5 rebounds per game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical forward with a non-stop motor, Vanfossan was dominant on the glass last season, pulling down over three offensive rebounds a game. He's also a skilled passer who tied for the team lead in assists per game as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1725069' first='Dayson' last='Leerhoff'] (Pleasantville) - 11.7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leerhoff was fantastic as a junior for the Trojans, accounting for over 41% of the team's scoring and 33% of their rebounding. He's a long, athletic 6-5 big man who controls the glass on both ends of the floor and put up huge numbers despite being the focal point of every opposing game plan last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476978' first='Camden' last='Davis'] (Hudson) - 10.6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis can do a little bit of everything and at 6-4/6-5, he's a matchup problem with his size and skill set on the wing for the Pirates. He's a good athlete with soft hands, and he does a great job both making strong contact on his boxouts and high-pointing the ball when he's rebounding. He's also a good enough ball-handler and passer that he can lead the break after pulling down a defensive rebound.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1945853' first='Austin' last='Taylor'] (Woodward-Granger) - 10.5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is the tallest player on this top ten at 6-6, and he uses that size to his advantage on both ends of the floor, pulling down four offensive rebounds a game and blocking 3.6 shots a night last season. He's a long, mobile defender and rim-runner who finishes at a high clip around the rim as well as stretch the floor (48.8 3P% on 82 attempts).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476994' first='Reese' last='Trepanier'] (West Branch) - 10.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The mulleted man is a man amongst boys when he's competing on the glass, pulling down over four offensive rebounds a game last season for the Bears. Despite being listed at just 6-0, undersized for a typical dominant rebounder, he makes up for that with his physicality, non-stop motor, and toughness. He'll pair with [player_tooltip player_id='1171662' first='Holden' last='Arnaman'] to give West Branch a really good one-two punch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171677' first='Preston' last='Ries'] (Monticello) - 10.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Also one of the top returning scorers in the class, Ries is a dominant athlete who controls the glass on both ends of the floor. He has big calves and explosive athleticism that he uses to sky above the rest of the players on the floor and pull down boards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1751230' first='Jacob' last='Wendt'] (PCM) - 10.1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A strong 6-2 forward who does a great job on the glass, Wendt is also a bit of a facilitator for the Mustangs, dishing out 2.7 assists a game last year while also leading the team in scoring (13.7) and rebounding.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8.) 2024 Logan Rosauer (Union) - 9.7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-5 big man, Rosauer wasn't a big scorer last season, averaging just 6.2 points a game, but he provided the Knights, a team with two big-time scoring guards, with some much needed size and physicality in the paint on both ends of the floor. And he took advantage of his scoring opportunities, shooting 60% from the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1951832' first='Cael' last='Reichter'] (North Fayette Valley) - 9.3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reichter is a long, agile 6-5 forward who runs the floor hard, pounds the glass on both ends of the floor, and protects the paint defensively. Following the graduation of older brother Blake, he may pull down double-digit rebounds this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='2398026' first='Conall' last='Sauser'] (Oelwein) - 9.1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sauser was excellent as a sophomore for the Huskies, leading the team in scoring (13.0) and rebounding while shooting nearly 51% from the floor. A 6-3 combo forward who can score inside and out, he plays with a non-stop motor, pounding the glass hard on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
