The 5-9 lead guard is an active defender who moves his feet well and competes against bigger bodies on that end of the floor. He handles it well and is a skilled passer who sees the floor. He showed some ability to shoot it both off the dribble and the catch, and he uses a quick first step to get by defenders and into the teeth of the defense.
SF Mason Woltz (Cedar Falls)
A 6-1 wing who can attack off the dribble or shoot it off the catch, Woltz had a solid day on both ends of the floor, using his length to get into passing lanes and he moves his feet well when defending on the ball. He showed good court vision and passing skills when playing with the ball in his hands.
SF Reese Montgomery Reese Montgomery 6'4" | SF Red Oak | 2027 IA (Red Oak)
Montgomery is a 6-3 wing who showed some versatility on both ends of the floor, pounding the glass on both sides and showcasing good hands and soft touch around the rim. He has the size, length, and athleticism to defend multiple positions, and he has good footwork around the bucket.
SG Ayden Moersfelder Ayden Moersfelder 6'0" | PG Cedar Falls | 2027 IA (Cedar Falls)
One of several talented sophomores-to-be from Cedar Falls, Moersfelder is a 6-0 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands. He can shoot it off the catch or create plays off the dribble for his teammates. He plays hard on both ends of the floor and does a great job looking to push the tempo when the opportunity presents.
SG Liam Steege (Sumner-Fredericksburg)
A 5-11 shooter, Steege moves well without the ball in his hands and has good form on his jumper. He needs to continue to work on speeding up his release, but when he has a little bit of space, he’s a dangerous shooter with range well beyond the high school line.
PG Jonny Kading (ACGC)
Kading is a 5-10 guard who does a good job initiating the offense for his team and setting up his teammates. He sees the floor well, handles it fairly well, and keeps the ball moving on the offensive end of the floor. He showed the ability to shoot it both off the dribble and the catch, and he has quick hands on defense.
SG Boden Kane (Center Point-Urbana)
Kane is a physical 5-10/5-11 guard who showed a willingness to take smaller defenders onto the block and score, using good footwork and a few different moves to score down low. He also handles it well and can get his teammates involved, showing impressive court vision.
PG Dexter Brunscheen (Linn-Mar)
Brunscheen is small, listed at 5-7, but he’s a ball player. He uses his speed to his advantage on both ends of the floor, showing good timing and instincts as a defender, jumping passing lanes and turning defense into offense. He’s a good shooter off the dribble, sees the floor really well, and can set his teammates up by getting the defense to collapse and then finding open shooters.
PG Tramaine Horton Tramaine Horton 6'0" | PG Hampton Dumont Cal | 2027 IA (Hampton-Dumont-CAL)
A quick 6-0 guard who loves to push the tempo, Horton sees the floor well and isn’t afraid to hit his teammates with a push-ahead pass. He handles the ball fairly well and has good footwork on his drives, showing a solid Euro step for a few different finishes.
SF Stratton Range Stratton Range 6'2" | SG Cedar Falls | 2027 State IA (Cedar Falls)
A physical 6-1/6-2 wing who shoots it well off the catch and embraces contact around the rim, Range has the frame to continue to add more strength, which will allow him to become a versatile defender for the Tigers. He has good length and athleticism, and he competes hard on the glass on both ends of the floor.
SG Drake Gersema (Marshalltown)
Gersema was impressive as a shooter, moving without the ball in his hands and routinely knocking down shots off the catch when he had his feet set. He gets great rotation on his jumper and has really good form. He does a good job utilizing off-ball screens to help free himself up.
PG Jamison Niehouse (Marshalltown)
A 5-11 guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, Niehouse does a great job using his quick first step to get by defenders, getting the defense to collapse, and finding open shooters. He’s a solid on-ball defender when he’s engaged, and he competes on the glass on both ends.
