2023 Rankings New Additions: Power Forward

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1165697" first="Antallah" last="Sandlin’el"] - #12</strong></p> <p>The Lincoln North Star big will be one of the more complete offensive bigs in Nebraska this season. He can shoot it, create his own look off the dribble, and score with his back to the basket. He is also a nice roll option because of his terrific hands.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1165694" first="Justin" last="Bolis"] - #25</strong></p> <p>Bolis is a coaches dream. He is an athletic rim runner with solid hands and nice bounce. He brings energy to every possession by crashing the boards, playing versatile defense, and fitting in wherever he can have an impact. He had a very nice summer for Lincoln Supreme National 1, as one of their most consistent players game to game.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1236316" first="Nate" last="Schauer"] - #55</strong></p> <p>Even with the graduation of the Hoiberg twins, Pius X is returning loads of talent this year. Even so, Schauer will have an opportunity to expand his role from a season ago. He could make his way onto the second unit as a spot-scorer and rebounding option.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1236328" first="Eli" last="Robinson"] - #72</strong></p> <p>Robinson can do a little bit of everything down low. He scores well, has improved his bounce, and is a solid rebounder. He moves well for his size, and can handle it a bit. Those skills make him impactful by getting the transition break started immediately.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1236319" first="Ryan" last="Kudron"] - #74</strong></p> <p>We didn’t get to see a full summer from Kudron due to injury, but he showed solid perimeter shooting and playmaking through the first few months. He is not a high-volume option at this point, but he is efficient with shot attempts.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1267132" first="Carson" last="Ames"] - #78</strong></p> <p>Ames is a player who could make a big leap in these rankings after the high school season. He is a terrific athlete, possibly one of the more underrated in the state. He is a multi-sport athlete who excels in everything he does. It will be difficult to find consistent minutes for Bellevue West, but I wouldn’t rule out anything for this player.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1236343" first="Jackson" last="Block"] - #95</strong></p> <p>Nebraska Select relied on Block to clean up misses and play solid defense. He slides his feet well, can flip his hips, and stay on the hip of driving ball-handlers.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1236327" first="Sam" last="Neary"] - #116</strong></p> <p>Neary is a strong finisher through contact, and he has a knack for finding gaps between traffic. He is skilled off the dribble as well when operating in the midrange.</p>
