A bouncy 6-5 forward with good hands, footwork, and soft touch around the rim, Amina was a force for the Knights despite facing constant double teams. He averaged 18.3 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks a game, shooting 61% from the floor. He has a good 15-footer and a really good second jump that he uses to help control the glass.
(133) PF Franz Reisz Franz Reisz 6'5" | PF Harlan | 2024 State IA (Harlan)
A 6-5 forward with a bit of a throwback game (no 3-point attempts), Reisz has soft hands and good feet that he uses to score efficiently around the rim. He averaged 12.3 points and 8.1 rebounds on nearly 56% shooting during his senior year.
(140) PG Uchan Harberts Uchan Harberts 6'0" | PG Western Christian | 2024 State IA (Western Christian)
A long, athletic 6-0 lead guard, Harberts made a major impact on both ends of the floor for the 2A state champion Wolfpack, averaging 6.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.5 steals a game. He moves his feet well and has the length to make life difficult on opposing ball-handlers.
(141) SF Aiden Lofstrom Aiden Lofstrom 6'3" | SF North Union | 2024 State IA (North Union)
A long, athletic 6-3 lefty who can create off the dribble and control the glass, Lofstrom provided the Warriors with some versatility on both ends of the floor, helping lead them to their first state tournament appearance. He averaged 11.3 points and 7.0 rebounds on 62% shooting as a senior.
(142) C Lance Arkfeld Lance Arkfeld 6'8" | C Denison-Schleswig | 2024 State IA (Denison-Schleswig)
Arkfeld is a long, lanky 6-8 big man who enjoyed a breakout senior year, averaging 15.0 points and 10.6 rebounds a game on 59% shooting. He’s a mobile big man who runs the floor well and rotates on the defensive end to block shots.
(144) PG Amos Poe Amos Poe 6'0" | PG Des Moines North | 2024 State IA (Des Moines North)
A quick 6-0 guard, Poe provided some veteran leadership for the Polar Bears as a senior, giving them a calming presence in the backcourt and a guard who can use his speed to his advantage on both ends of the floor. He’s a good finisher around the rim and a pest on the defensive end.
(148) PG Kyan Jones Kyan Jones 5'11" | PG North Union | 2024 State IA (North Union)
Another North Union Warrior on this list, Jones is a pass-first 6-0 point guard who sees the floor extremely well and has a great understanding of the game. He protects the ball and averaged 7.1 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.2 steals a game, while posting a 2.12 assist-to-turnover ratio.
(153) SF Cael Trudo Cael Trudo 6'5" | SF Van Meter | 2024 State IA (Van Meter)
A 6-5 power wing who uses his strength to his advantage, Trudo can play bully ball and get to the rim, but he also showed some range throughout his senior year, knocking down 37.7% of his 3-point attempts. He averaged 14.4 points and 7.1 rebounds on the year.
(154) SG Dominic D’Amico Dominic D’Amico 6'2" | SG Xavier | 2024 State IA (Xavier)
The 6-2 wing provided some senior leadership on a young Saints team, knocking down 37.8% of his 3s on the year. He’s a glue guy who does a little bit of everything, with the strength to battle bigger bodies on the defensive end, and the quickness and IQ to hold his own against quicker guards.
(156) PF Dylan Litzel Dylan Litzel 6'4" | PF Clear Lake | 2024 State IA (Clear Lake)
Litzel was extremely efficient as a senior for the Lions, shooting nearly 62% from the floor and averaging 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds. He’s an athletic, physical 6-4 forward who can defend a few different spots and finish around the rim.
(158) PG Rhylan Stine-Smith Rhylan Stine-Smith 5'11" | PG ADM | 2024 State IA (ADM)
A 5-11 lead guard who does a great job getting his teammates involved, Stine-Smith averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists a game as a senior, posting a 2.13 assist-to-turnover ratio. He handles it well and sees the floor at a high level.
(159) SG Truman Kruckenberg Truman Kruckenberg 6'0" | SG Gilbert | 2024 State IA (Gilbert)
After averaging just over 5 points a game as a junior, Kruckenberg, a 6-0 scoring guard, took his game to another level as a senior, putting up 16.2 points a game for the Tigers. He’s better when he’s attacking the rim or getting to the free-throw line, but he’s a good enough shooter that it at least needs to be respected.
