2026 Rankings Update: Stock Risers From 51 to 125

SF [player_tooltip player_id='2204869' first='Giovanny' last='Quiles'] | Dowling Catholic The move: 67 to 55   A tough 6-3 wing who can get to the rim off the dribble and in transition, Quiles is also a strong 3-point shooting threat off the catch. He's averaging 11.4 points and 3.3 rebounds per game for the Maroons, one of the best teams in 4A this winter.   SG [player_tooltip player_id='2413561' first='Austin' last='Schulte'] | Pella The move: 77 to 56   Schulte's game has elevated to another level this season, averaging 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game on 52-31-77 shooting splits. He's a capable, but streaky, perimeter shooting threat who has really improved as a ball-handler and shot creator off the dribble.   SG [player_tooltip player_id='1978119' first='Ethan' last='Headings'] | Iowa City West The move: 110 to 70   After losing a lot of production to either graduation or not going out for basketball this season, West needed someone to step up and become a go-to scorer and it appears as though Headings has. The 6-3 wing is putting up 16.3 points per game on nearly 55% shooting.   SF [player_tooltip player_id='2731768' first='Christopher' last='Watkins'] | City High The move: 131 to 71   An athletic 6-5/6-6 wing with great length, Watkins may just be scratching the surface of his long-term potential. He's averaging 15.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, and with his combination of size, length, and athleticism, he's the type of player who could really blossom with some more work on his body.   SG [player_tooltip player_id='2731635' first='Malachi' last='Rice'] | Centerville The move: 126 to 72   Rice shoots 54 spots up the rankings on the strength of an absurd start to his senior year as a scorer. He's averaging 38.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 4.8 steals per game on 53% shooting. A 6-3 guard who can create quality looks off the dribble as well as knock down shots off the catch, he has been explosive so far this season.   SF [player_tooltip player_id='1978101' first='Quentin' last='Teeter'] | Urbandale The move: 124 to 76   Teeter has good size on the wing at 6-5, and he uses his size and length to his advantage on both ends of the floor. He's leading the J-Hawks in scoring (15.4) and steals (3.4), and is second in assists per game (2.6).   SF [player_tooltip player_id='1978133' first='Max' last='Town'] | Des Moines Christian The move: 140 to 80   A smooth operator from the mid-range, Town uses his 6-5 frame to shoot over defenders from 15-feet and in routinely. He's shooting over 50% from the floor while averaging 18.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game. He's really skilled in that mid-to-high-post area and can step out and stretch the floor as well.   SF [player_tooltip player_id='1765520' first='Cooper' last='Grimm'] | Center Point-Urbana The move: 102 to 89   A stat-sheet stuffing wing, Grimm is averaging 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per game on 54-38-57 shooting splits. With his size, he can see over the defense and get his teammates involved, and like Town he's really good in the mid-range area, scoring or creating.   SF [player_tooltip player_id='2413626' first='Landon' last='De Stigter'] | Western Christian The move: 107 to 95   De Stigter has stepped into a starring role for the Wolfpack this winter and thrived, averaging 20.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game on 50-40-83 shooting splits. With his size at 6-5, he shoots over his defender with a smooth stroke and range well beyond the high school line.   SG [player_tooltip player_id='1765525' first='Jack' last='Jensen-Fitzpatrick'] | Iowa City West The move: 224 to 108   The son of Iowa women's head coach Jan Jensen, Jack has been a pleasant surprise in his senior year for the Trojans, shooting over 35% from the 3-point line and averaging 11.5 points per game. He moves really well without the ball in his hands and knocks down shots from the 3-point line routinely off the catch.   SF [player_tooltip player_id='2517050' first='Carson' last='Bargfrede'] | St. Edmond The move: 130 to 114   Bargfrede is an athletic wing who seems to have really improved as a shooting threat this season, knocking down nearly 43% of his 3-point attempts early in his senior year. If that shooting is for real, watch out because the Gaels are going to be really, really tough to beat in Class 1A.   SG [player_tooltip player_id='2731820' first='Dallas' last='McDowell'] | Harlan The move: 141 to 124   An athletic scoring guard who can play downhill and attack, creates looks off the dribble, and defend multiple positions, McDowell is averaging 16.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 steals per game for the Cyclones.
