Continue ReadingWe recently released updated rankings in the classes of 2024, 2025, and 2026. But what would the rankings look like if we took all of those classes and threw them together? This is our Iowa Top 50 Prospects, Regardless of Class. As is the case with all of our rankings, this is a ranking based on college projection and potential, not necessarily who the 50 “best” players in the state will be this season. We continue our countdown with a look at prospects 6 through 10. (A hat tip to Scott Burgess at Prep Hoops Illinois for the idea for this series of articles.)
(6) Xzavion Robinson Xzavion Robinson 6'1" | PG Valley | 2025 State #342 Nation IA | PG | Valley | 2025
As Robinson showed at the state tournament last season, he can be the best player on the floor every night. He’s a dynamic athlete who finishes above the rim with authority, despite being listed at 5-10 last season. His combination of speed, ball-handling, and physicality make him really difficult to slow down, and he has added a pretty consistent jumper to his repertoire, which makes him nearly impossible to defend at this level. He’s also a coveted receiver prospect, so he’ll have a big decision to make within the next year or so.
(7) Caden Wilkins Caden Wilkins 6'7" | SF Bettendorf | 2024 State #196 Nation IA | SF | Bettendorf | 2024
The top-ranked player in the 2024 class, Wilkins is a big wing who can score in bunches from anywhere on the court. He lets the game come to him, has a smooth stroke with range well beyond the arc, and is fantastic on the glass on both ends of the floor. He’s a solid team defender who rotates well and contests shots.
(8) Matthew Noll Matthew Noll 6'7" | PF Bishop Heelan | 2024 State IA | PF | Heelan | 2024
Noll is a big combo forward who can create off the dribble at a high level, using his size to score over smaller defenders, and his quickness to score against bigger ones. He’s excellent on the glass and is a good enough ball-handler and passer to lead the break after pulling down a defensive rebound. He recently committed to play his college ball at D2 Wayne State.
(9) Redek Born Redek Born 6'3" | PG Norwalk | 2024 State IA | PG | Norwalk | 2024
Born will play his college ball at Northern Iowa, where he’ll follow in older brother Bowen’s footsteps. He’s a tough, smart guard who scores with remarkable efficiency from all three levels, and he’s a good playmaker who sees the floor exceptionally well. He contributes on the glass and is a versatile, intelligent defender.
(10) Tevin Schultz Tevin Schultz 6'7" | PF Dubuque Senior | 2026 State IA | PF | Senior | 2026
Another high upside forward in the 2026 class, Schultz had a really productive freshman season at Senior, showcasing advanced footwork and touch around the rim with either hand. As he works to extend his range, his offensive game will only become more dynamic.
