2027 Initial Rankings: Players Ranked 71-80

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(71) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2420805' first='Dylan' last='Schon'] | Kuemper Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schon is a long 6-1 wing who can score from all three levels both off the dribble and the catch. He contributes on the glass on both ends of the floor, and while he's certainly capable of scoring at the rim, it's his shooting that is his biggest strength right now, a common theme among Kuemper players, it seems.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(72) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419828' first='Hayden' last='Gage'] | Ankeny | [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Iowa' last='Barnstormers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long and athletic 6-5 wing who uses his length well on both ends of the floor, Gage covers a ton of ground as a defender, contests shots well, and can get to the bucket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(73) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2420801' first='Trey' last='Boettcher'] | Panorama | [program_tooltip program_id='2075269' first='All' last='Iowa Attack']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boettcher was extremely productive as a freshman for the Panthers, averaging 11.2 points and 5.7 rebounds a game on 40-38-71 shooting. He can shoot it at a high clip both off the dribble and the catch, and he's an active rebounder and all-around team defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(74) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2381206' first='Charlie' last='Reich'] | Gilbert | [program_tooltip program_id='2075269' first='All' last='Iowa Attack']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reich is tiny, listed at 5-5/5-6, but he makes up for it with his ability to finish around the rim creatively and create some space with good footwork and ball-handling to get his shot off. He's a quick on-ball defender who moves his feet well and has quick hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(75) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2114707' first='Karson' last='Rains'] | Linn-Mar | [program_tooltip program_id='2075572' first='Iowa' last='Prep']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rains is small, but he's a feisty, scrappy, high IQ guard who uses those traits to help make up for his (currently) diminutive stature. A pass-first guard (pictured) who uses his handles and quickness to get into the teeth of the defense, he sees the floor really well and loves to get his teammates involved. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(76) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2245611' first='Stratton' last='Range'] | Cedar Falls | [program_tooltip program_id='2075901' first='Team' last='Iowa']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Range is a talented 6-2 wing who can get to the rim both off the dribble and off of good off-ball movement, and he does a great job finishing through contact at the bucket. He's a good athlete and has some length, which allows him to provide some versatility on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(77) SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419756' first='Blayn' last='Robinson'] | Central DeWitt | [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Iowa' last='Barnstormers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long, rangy 6-5 wing who can defend a few different positions and create looks for his teammates, he uses his size effectively on both ends of the floor and figures to be an important piece for the Sabers for the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(78) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419830' first='Mason' last='Woltz'] | Cedar Falls</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cedar Falls keeps churning out long and skilled wings, and Woltz is another in the assembly line for the Tigers. He can attack off the bounce or shoot it off the catch, and he uses his length effectively on the defensive end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(79) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419848' first='Logan' last='Atherton'] | Norwalk | [program_tooltip program_id='2119712' first='Iowa' last='Suns']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Atherton does a good job using his long 6-0/6-1 frame to contest shots on the perimeter and get up into passing lanes. On the offensive end he can do a little bit of everything, knocking down shots off the catch, creating off the dribble, and finishing through contact at the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(80) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2419853' first='Ahvyance' last='Taylor'] | Johnston | [program_tooltip program_id='2075605' first='Kingdom' last='Hoops']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-1 combo guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, Taylor gets to the rim and finishes through contact and sees the floor well. He's a good athlete with some strength and he uses those attributes to defend multiple positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
