Class 3A: Top 10 Returning Rebounders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171692' first='Scott' last='Harr'] (Hampton-Dumont-CAL) - 13.1 rebounds per game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-4 Harr averaged well over a double-double last year for the Bulldogs, putting up 21.4 points and 13.1 rebounds a game. With his size, footwork, and touch around the rim, he's really tough for opposing players to slow down once he touches it on the block. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171696' first='Jack' last='Cooley'] (Clarke) - 10.0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cooley (pictured) is coming off a stellar junior year in which he led the Indians in scoring (20.0), rebounding, and steals (3.0), while finishing second in both assists (5.6) and blocks (1.4). He's a skilled 6-5 wing who can do a little bit of everything, and he uses that size combined with an explosive second jump to dominate on the glass. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.) 2025 [player_tooltip player_id='1484419' first='Alex' last='Manske'] (Algona) - 9.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physical and athletic 6-4 forward with great hands, Manske is also a highly coveted quarterback prospect. In addition to his work on the glass, he's a talented passer who can initiate the offense from anywhere and score from all three levels. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='2325354' first='Franz' last='Reisz'] (Harlan) - 9.1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-5 big man, Reisz may be the focal point of the offensive gameplan for the Cyclones this season after they lost their top two scorers to graduation. He's a highly efficient scorer who does all of his damage around the bucket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1256304' first='Ben' last='Bockman'] (Decorah) - 8.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Decorah needed Bockman to step up and put up huge numbers last season, and he did just that, averaging 22.4 points and 3.8 assists to go with his rebounding numbers. A long, mobile 6-4/6-5 wing who can really shoot it, he provides the Vikings with some needed size and length. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.) 2025 Brock Oxenreider (Chariton) - 8.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oxenreider is the smallest player on this top 10, listed last season at 5-11, but he has a non-stop motor and plays with a ton of physicality, which he uses to control the glass on both ends of the floor. He pulled down 3.3 offensive rebounds a game as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1171685' first='Derek' last='Weisskopf'] (Williamsburg) - 8.5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weisskopf is an elite athlete who will play linebacker at Iowa, and he uses that combination of strength, physicality, and athleticism to dominate on the hardwood as well. He has an explosive second jump that he uses to sky over other players for rebounds, and he has outstanding hands. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1476977' first='Evan' last='Hammer'] (Carroll) - 8.3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-5 big man who led the Tigers in scoring (13.5) and rebounding last season, Hammer is a throwback big man who does all of his damage inside the painted area. He has soft hands and does a great job making strong contact on his boxouts. With the next four scorers from last year's team graduated, Hammer will be asked to do a lot for Carroll this winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='2284843' first='Briar' last='Klaver'] (Webster City) - 8.3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klaver is a uniquely talented player with great size at 6-4 and the ability to control the game as a playmaker and rebounder. He's coming off a really good junior year in which he averaged 14.0 points and posted 58-39-60 shooting splits. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10.) 2024 [player_tooltip player_id='1376720' first='Payton' last='Hagans'] (Mount Pleasant) - 8.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hagans does everything for the Panthers, averaging 20.7 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.4 steals a game last season for the Panthers in addition to his great rebounding numbers out of his guard spot. He's a good athlete who is probably the best on this top 10 as a "rip and run" threat. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
