2027 Initial Rankings: Players Ranked 31-40

(31) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2164515' first='Jaxson' last='Bean'] | Kennedy | [program_tooltip program_id='2075901' first='Team' last='Iowa']   Bean (pictured) is built much like his older brother, a big, physical guard who can absorb contact around the rim and finish, create for his teammates off the dribble, and he sees the floor really well. He's able to flip the offense, taking smaller defenders onto the block and either bullying them for finishes or finding open teammates with his vision.   (32) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2297904' first='Gage' last='Chance'] | Albia | [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Iowa' last='Barnstormers']   Gage is the next talented Chance brother to come through Albia, following in Drew and Blake's footsteps. He's an athletic and physical 6-4 guard with good size that he uses to impact the game on both ends of the floor. He can absorb contact around the rim or stretch the floor with his jumper. He came off the bench to provide the Blue Demons with some scoring punch, averaging 9.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game as a freshman.   (33) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419753' first='Carson' last='Riser'] | Clear Lake | [program_tooltip program_id='2075605' first='Kingdom' last='Hoops']   Riser didn't get any varsity run with the Lions as a freshman, but he was a standout performer at our Freshman Showcase last August and figures to be a significant part of their future. He's a confident guard who can really shoot it from deep, getting the ball into his shooting pocket quickly off the dribble and showcasing a quick, smooth release off the catch. He's a competitive defender who moves his feet well.   (34) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419796' first='Jaxson' last='McIntire'] | Clear Lake   McIntire is a fantastic athlete who already holds a Division I football offer from Iowa State. He's a physically developed 6-2 wing who can create off the dribble and get to the rim, where he's a good finisher, and he can shoot it well from behind the arc off the catch. In limited time with the Lions varsity team, he averaged 6.0 points on 60-60-57 shooting.   (35) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419764' first='Oaklan' last='Jirak'] | Wilton | [program_tooltip program_id='2075269' first='All' last='Iowa Attack']   A 6-2 guard who thrives playing off the ball and using his constant movement to cut to the rim or get quality looks off the catch, Jirak averaged 12.2 points and 3.6 rebounds a game on 48% shooting as a freshman for Wilton.   (36) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419787' first='Jake' last='Wegmann'] | Beckman Catholic | [program_tooltip program_id='2148484' first='DCBA' last='']   Wegmann is a talented 6-1 guard who can shoot it well both off the dribble and the catch. He was asked to do quite a bit for an inexperienced Beckman team as a freshman and played well, averaging 8.9 points and 3.8 rebounds a game.   (37) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2419800' first='Tyce' last='Van Donge'] | Unity Christian   Van Donge was a key contributor for the Knights during their 2A state tournament run, coming off the bench to provide some scoring and rebounding. He's an active, athletic 6-2/6-3 forward with soft hands, good footwork, and great touch around the rim. He runs the floor hard, establishing early post position and sealing his defender. If he's able to add some consistent range to his game, and grows a few more inches, he could be an unstoppable force at the 2A level.   (38) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419808' first='George' last='Blake'] | Indianola   The Indians were extremely young this year, with three freshmen among the top four scorers, led by Blake, who averaged a team-high 10.2 points a game. He's a talented 6-2 wing with a solid frame and the ability to score from all three levels.   (39) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2381207' first='Dexter' last='Brunscheen'] | Linn-Mar | [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Iowa' last='Barnstormers']   A solid all-around player who sees the floor well and loves to get his teammates involved, Brunscheen can attack off the dribble, getting into the teeth of the defense and either finishing at the rim or finding open shooters. He's a creative finisher at the bucket and a really good shooter off the catch.   (40) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419825' first='Nic' last='Stone'] | Washington | [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Iowa' last='Barnstormers']   Stone is a true sharpshooter, with over 83% of his shot attempts as a freshman coming from behind the arc, converting them at a 38.1% clip. He shoots it well off the catch and moves well without the ball in his hands.
