Few can impact a game in as many ways as he does.

His recruitment is still ongoing at this point in time.<br></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2317315' first='Preston' last='Fowler'] - The <em>Brewster Academy</em> wing has stood out with his willingness to fill whatever role is needed on any given night.

He'll head to <strong><em>Iowa State</em></strong> in the fall.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ol> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you haven't had a chance to check these prospects out yet, you really should, as each impacts the game in a unique way and has the potential to make an immediate impact at the high major level next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep an eye out this week as we continue to expand on our updated 2025 rankings, with thoughts on&nbsp;<em>newcomers</em>,&nbsp;<em>risers</em>, and more!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
