A 6-1 wing who excels when he’s playing downhill and attacking the rim, Haverback averaged 10.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists a game for the Mustangs as a sophomore. The next step in his development will be adding some consistency to his jumper.

The 6-1 guard came off the bench to provide CCA with some scoring and playmaking in the backcourt, averaging 5.6 points a game and showing the ability to create looks for himself and his teammates off the dribble.
(96) SG Kyle Smith Kyle Smith 6'3" | SG Marshalltown | 2026 State IA (Marshalltown)
A 6-3 wing who thrives as a catch-and-shoot weapon, 82.5% of Smith’s shot attempts as a sophomore came from behind the arc. He shot 36.3% from deep and averaged a team-high 13.5 points and 6.3 rebounds a game for the Bobcats.

A 6-2 wing who can score from all three levels, McLaren provided some solid secondary scoring for the Trojans as a sophomore, averaging 12.8 points and 6.8 rebounds a game. He can create looks off the dribble and moves well without the ball in his hands.
(103) PF KeShawn DeShaw KeShawn DeShaw 6'5" | PF Bellevue | 2026 State IA (Bellevue)
A mobile, bouncy 6-5 big man who runs the floor hard and crashes the glass on both ends of the floor, DeShaw averaged 11.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game (3.0 offensive) on nearly 53% shooting as a sophomore for the Comets. His offensive game is still a bit raw, but his athleticism, bounce, and size allow him to make a difference on both ends.
(106) SG Judd Jirovsky Judd Jirovsky 5'11" | SG Grundy Center | 2026 State IA (Grundy Center)
The 5-11 guard came off the bench to provide a major scoring spark on a number of occasions for the Spartans, averaging 6.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.1 assists a game on 51-41-80 shooting. He gets the ball into his shooting pocket quickly off the dribble, moves well without the ball in his hands, and can create quality looks for himself and his teammates off the dribble.
(109) SF Spencer Abbott Spencer Abbott 6'2" | SF Bellevue | 2026 State IA (Bellevue)
Abbott is a versatile 6-1 forward who can score inside and out, flashing a silky mid-range game with a high, clean release on his jumper. He averaged 10.9 points and 5.7 rebounds a game on 44-32-65 shooting splits for the Comets.
