Area Rankings: Top 10 2027 Prospects in Northeast Iowa

Following the graduations of two of the top three scorers, and the transfer of the other leader from last year, Akines should have ample opportunity with the ball in his hands this season, an area in which he thrives. He handles the ball really well, is a gifted passer, and has excellent footwork and the ability to absorb contact and finish around the rim. He's a tough lead guard who plays through contact and he can defend on the ball at a high level.     Riser is a talented shooter, especially off the catch, who moves really well without the ball in his hands. He has a quick release, extended range, and is capable of playing with the ball in his hands as a shot creator as well. He averaged 10.1 points per game as a sophomore and knocked down 41.3% of his 3-point attempts.     Wegmann had a growth spurt between his freshman and sophomore years, and he took full advantage of the added height, allowing him to score at a much more efficient clip from anywhere on the floor. He averaged 19.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game for the Blazers and posted 48-45-74 shooting splits. He has a great feel for the game and can play on or off the ball.     A guard with good size, McIntire impacts the game on both ends of the floor with his length. He averaged 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 steals per game on 50% shooting as a sophomore. He plays with pace and has a good feel for the game.     Wedewer isn't the biggest guard, but he's tough, scrappy, athletic, and quick. He's a tenacious competitor on both ends of the floor who loves to attack the rim and score or get to the free-throw line. He's a really good on-ball defender with great lateral movement and quick hands that he uses to make opposing ball-handlers uncomfortable. He's a winner who makes the right plays on both ends of the floor, can score from all three levels, and is a really skilled playmaker.     Hazell appeared in just one varsity game for the Tigers last season but could be a player who steps into a bigger role as a junior. He has great length on the wing, which he uses to impact the game on both ends of the floor. He moves his feet well, can contest shots, and uses his size to see over the defense on the offensive end and get his teammates involved. He has good body control and footwork around the rim.     Rainer wasn't on the varsity roster for the Rams last season, but he's the type of long, athletic wing who could make an impact this season for Senior. He sits in his stance on the defensive end and uses his length to make life difficult for opposing ball-handlers. He has a great second jump that he uses to compete on the glass on both ends of the floor.     A combo forward with good size, length, and athleticism, Robinson had a strong spring and summer with MidPro Academy and should become an impact player for the River Kings as a junior. He's a raw, athletic player who is oozing with potential, he just needs to put everything together.     Kreinbrink is coming off a really good sophomore year for the Rebels in which he averaged 12.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game on nearly 65% shooting. He's a bit undersized as a big man, but he has a non-stop motor, great hands, and really good footwork and touch around the bucket.     Tanny led Western Dubuque in scoring (9.8) and rebounding (5.0) last season and has transferred to play his junior year at Wahlert Catholic. A talented wing with good size and length at 6-5, he has the ability to score from all three levels and defend multiple positions. He should make a big impact with the Golden Eagles.
