Class 3A: 5 2027-28 Players Who Could Break Out in 2025-26

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419850' first='David' last='William'] (Storm Lake)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A hyper-athlteic 6-2 wing who can defend all five positions at this level, William has the requisite length, lateral movement, and explosive second jump to impact the game on both ends of the floor. He averaged 6.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game on 56% shooting as a sophomore, and should play a bigger role on both ends of the floor as a junior for the Tornadoes. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2906415' first='Beckett' last='Boeset'] (Clear Creek Amana)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long, skilled three-level scorer, Boeset had some big scoring games throughout the spring and summer and looks primed to take over as the star scorer for the Clippers as a junior following the graduations of the top six scorers from last year's team. He shoots it well off the catch, can create plays off the dribble, and is an active defender on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2027 PF Wilson Riphin (Denison-Schleswig)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riphin is an athletic, physical 6-3 forward, Riphin is a dominant force as a rebounder, averaging 7.1 boards a game as a sophomore for the Monarchs, including 3 on the offensive end. He's an enforcer in the paint with soft hands, and he has a real nose for the ball. D-S will need players to step up as scorers this winter, and Riphin, with his penchant for hauling down offensive rebounds and getting second chance opportunities, could be one who takes a big jump.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 SG [player_tooltip player_id='2917300' first='Tate' last='Troster'] (ADM)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Troster is a sharp-shooting guard who can absolutely torch teams from behind the arc off the catch. He's an electric shooter who moves really well without the ball in his hands, has a quick release off the catch, and can also create some plays off the dribble for his teammates. With all of the attention that has to be paid to players like [player_tooltip player_id='1978130' first='Hudson' last='Lorensen'], [player_tooltip player_id='1978115' first='Trey' last='Bryte'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1978146' first='Hudson' last='Shull'], Troster could really emerge as a serious offensive threat with all the open looks he'll get. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2028 SF Evan Stanislav (Glenwood)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stanislav was productive in limited action for the Rams last season, averaging 3.2 points and 1.1 rebounds, but he could be in line for a major breakout this winter following the graduations of four of the top six scorers. At 6-4/6-5, he has great size on the wing, can knock down shots off the dribble or the catch, and he sees the floor well, looking over defenders to get his teammates involved. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
