Ian Gause Ian Gause 6'8" | PF Marion | 2028 State SC is one of the names to know in the Pee Dee. He has tons of potential based on his length alone, but he took a big step in production in 2025-26. Gause put up 10.5 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game, and 1.8 blocks per game, showing a solid all-around skillset for a big man. However, if he can put on a little bit of strength to dominate smaller matchups and hold up against bigger ones, he will see both a boost in numbers and college attention.

Ian was one of the most intriguing interior prospects at the 2026 King’s Klassic. Playing for the hosts, Gause flashed a little bit of what makes him one of the top youngsters in the Pee Dee area. He put up 13 points and 9 rebounds, including a buzzer-beater to send the game to overtime. He has really shown good progression with his jump shot this season and will always have the length to work the offensive glass and finish at the rim, but if he can add a little bit of strength to hold up defensively and work offensively from the dunker spot, he will be a very good player.
