Mr. Meier was a playmaker on the glass. Jyles was a beast on the boards. He gobbled up O-boards and second-chance opportunities all weekend long. Jyles is one tough bugger who plays with heart and muscle. He is big but moves well and has a nose for the ball. Meier is also an unselfish passer and a solid screener.

-Physical monster, tough, blue collar worker

-Good hands, he did not miss any with his big mits

-Gobbled up the offensive boards

-O-boards & shared the ball

-Unselfish to a fault, passed up shots to pass out to shooters

-How can you not like a big who moves the ball?

-PNR, roll, catch, score

-Wide body, hard to get around

-Backdown bully-ball on a mismatch, good awareness

-Very impressed with his talking on screen-n-roll, switched well

-Had a couple of patient scores, waited for the D to clear & finish

-Just scratching the surface of his potential

-Paint protector

-Big fan of this old school post

Jyles is a player to watch this weekend, especially for those who appreciate toughness and physicality in the paint. The Tornado big man immediately stands out with his size and strong build, and he uses it to his advantage on every possession. Meier is an absolute force on the glass, consistently battling for rebounds and controlling the interior. He plays with an edge, embraces contact, and sets the tone with his physical presence. Beyond that, his interior passing ability adds another layer to his game, showing he can make smart plays out of the post. Meier’s rebounding, toughness, and ability to dominate the paint make him a difference-maker and the kind of player who can change the flow of a game with his physicality alone.

“ Jyles Meier Jyles Meier 6'6" | C Oakes | 2027 State ND is a throwback, physical beast. Really nice post passer as well. He brings a ton of physicality to our team.“

-11.7 ppg, 10.5 rpg, 54.4 2FG%, Double-Double machine, space eater & creator

-Beast on the O-glass, paint protector, unselfish passer, great strength & feet

In jyles lone region tournament game he had 8 points 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. Meier is arguably the best big man in region one, he isnt relied on to score nearly as much or as often as is a couple of the other bigs in the region from Medina or Linton. Meier definitely makes the most of his touches and alot of his points come off of O Boards and just pure strength and great positioning. He definitely doesn’t get nearly the credit he should for how hard he works on both ends of the floor. For a very large guy he has good quick feet defensively on the perimeter, also does a very nice job of keeping a high hand and using his body in the post and not his hands. Meier was voted to All Region Team, look for Jyles to be the best big in the region next season and as of right now i dont see a close second.

-11 points

-Double double 11/10

-Seemed to always have atleast two defenders around him

-Dominant rebounder/keeps ball high when he does grab the board

-Excellent soft hands/catches everything close to him

-Had several strong finishes with guys all over him

-Excellent feet in the post

-Again showed great feel for the game when being doubled and found the right open teammate on time

-Big man can absolutely get up amd down the floor very well

-Caught the ball on a full sprint transition play no problem

-Elite Class B big man

-Changes game with size/length and strength

-Moves feet realy well guarding quicker guys on the perimeter

-Changed multiple shots in the paint just by being there

-Monster on boards/can literally dominate that aspect of the game on both ends when he wants to

-Excellent post passer with even better vision/hits guys in the hands and on time

-If he hadn’t gotten into foul trouble he would have had close to a 15 rebound game but had to sit for a quarter

-Great foot work on his post touches and uses back board nicely with soft touch

-Athletic big man that gets up and down the floor in a hurry for being that big

-One of the elite true BIGs in ND, old-school low post, but passes extremely well

-Runs floor well for size, moves feet well on D, great hands & footwork, beast

-He needs more touches, finishes through contact, creates space but also eats it up

In my opinion Jyles looked to be more fit then in the past and it showed on the court with better endurance/energy and effort. Was still the physical and dominant presence down low scoring when he wanted to and making the most of his opportunities, has great hands for a big and an excellent passer outnof the post. Dominate and relentless rebounder, had 12 points/9 boards couple blocks and a dunk 🔥!
