Coming up just shy of my First-Team All-Expo, Blake Ritze Blake Ritze 6'8" | C/PF Linn-Mar | 2027 State IA was one of the best bigs in attendance in Des Moines. A forward that has grown two inches within the last year, Ritze has maintained a solid skill set that allows him to use his footwork and size near the paint, but he can also step out and shoot it.

A modern big, Ritze can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim, but he is also a spot-up shooter on the perimeter that forces defenses to spread out and account for him on the outside.

As a defender, he uses his length and court awareness to help when a teammate gets beat to the rim, and he can swat away shots.
