Class 4A: Top 10 Returning Rebounders

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2204081' first='Charlie' last='King'] (Roosevelt) -- 9.0 rebounds per game</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bouncy 6-6 wing who impacts the game in every way, King, committed to play his college ball at Northern Iowa, does a great job high pointing the ball and is the type of ball-handler and playmaker to pull down a defensive rebound and easily lead the break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2754694' first='Charles' last='Schaben'] (Lewis Central) -- 9.0</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schaben emerged as a really solid Robin to [player_tooltip player_id='2523891' first='Carter' last='Thielen']'s Bateman last season, averaging 15.1 points and 9.0 rebounds a game. A mobile 6-7 big man who runs the floor well, can defend multiple positions, and is relentless on the glass, he looks primed to have a huge senior year for a Titans team that could surprise some folks out west this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2309944' first='Josiah' last='Harrington'] (North Scott) -- 8.5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Iowa State commit has found himself on nearly all of these top returnee lists, which should come as no surprise. At 6-6/6-7 and with a huge wingspan and plus athleticism, he's a matchup nightmare on both ends of the floor who does a great job using his frame and hops to compete on the glass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2443978' first='Alfred' last='Kolee'] (Dowling Catholic) -- 8.5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kolee, committed to play his college ball at Northern Iowa, is a high-upside 6-8/6-9 big man with overwhelming length and athleticism, both of which he uses to dominate the glass and protect the rim. He pulled down an eye-popping 4.2 offensive rebounds per game last season for the Maroons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5.) 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='3650655' first='Oliver' last='Beckman'] (Waterloo West) -- 8.1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Beckman is a 6-3 forward with great hands, soft touch, and a non-stop motor. He's a big part of a strong young nucleus at West, with the Wahawks returning all but one player from last year's team. He put up 12.0 points and 8.1 rebounds (3.3 offensive) per game last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6.) 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2594655' first='Pete' last='Craig'] (Waukee) -- 7.9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Craig, one of the top 2028 prospects in the state, is a versatile two-way threat who can do a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor. He's a highly intelligent player who positions himself well, makes strong contact on his box outs, and uses his length to snatch rebounds out of nowhere.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7.) 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='3650657' first='Joshua' last='Charlotin'] (Southeast Polk) -- 7.5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlotin enjoyed a breakout sophomore season for the Rams, leading the team in scoring (11.9), rebounding, assists (3.6), and blocks (0.7), while ranking second in steals (2.0). He's a long, athletic wing who can pull down a defensive rebound and lead the break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2754686' first='Cayson' last='Neely'] (Davenport North) -- 7.2</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Neely is a highly athletic 6-7 big man who transferred from Pleasant Valley to play his senior year at North. Last season he put up 10.6 points and 7.2 rebounds a game for the Spartans, and he'll give the Wildcats a long, versatile player on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>9.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2754693' first='D'Mir' last='Coleman'] (Roosevelt) -- 7.1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coleman is raw, but oozing with potential. You don't see many 6-9 players with his length and athleticism in Iowa, and he's the type of projectable big man that college coaches should be salivating over. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>10.) 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2419810' first='Easton' last='McGraw'] (Indianola) -- 6.8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McGraw was sensational as a junior for the Indians, averaging 17.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game on 44-36-65 shooting splits. He's a 6-6 guard with a positional size advantage against just about anyone in the Little Hawkeye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
