State: Iowa
School: Columbus Catholic
Club: Drive Pro Select

Galloway is a lightning-quick guard who does a great job using his speed to his advantage on both ends of the floor. He'll have a chance to make an impact for the Wahawks as a sophomore and this showcase event could be a good start.

Evaluations are normally subscriber-only but when an athlete subscribes, theirs becomes free for all readers. Subscribing doesn't change who the Scout covers, it changes who gets to see it.

Strasburger was one of the standouts at the Freshman Showcase last season, and he could be one of the standouts at the Expo this year. He's your typical Kennedy guard - tough, physical, and disciplined. He can play with or without the ball in his hands, can defend multiple positions, and impacts the game on nearly every possession in some type of way.

Brown is a talented ball-handler and playmaker who puts constant pressure on opposing teams with his ability to create off the dribble. He's in complete control of the game when he has the ball in his hands and is equally adept as a scorer and a facilitator.

The most highly-touted player in attendance will be Wade, fresh off receiving offers from Drake and Northern Iowa. A rim-running big man who can protect the paint defensively, control the glass, and finish above the rim, he'll be looking to showcase his two-way impact throughout the event. His early offers speak to his sky-high potential.
