Gomez was really good as a freshman for the Cougars, averaging 10.3 points on 46-45-74 shooting. He’s an elite shooter off both the dribble and the catch who is becoming more comfortable with the ball in his hands each time I see him. He’s a long, high IQ guard whose ability to shoot it is rivaled by few in the state.

An elite shooter, Gomez got shown love by the opposing coach after he knocked down some absurd shots from college range in the title game. Gomez has the confidence to fire away from well behind the 3-point line and his team ran nice actions to get him the ball off movement and free from the defense. Having an elite skill like shooting does so much for your team’s offense and Gomez hit clutch shot after clutch shot to take the victory.

Gomez was one of the most productive 2029s in the state last season, a reliable scorer and perimeter shooting threat for the Cougars as a freshman. He’s so smooth, a pure shooter with picturesque form, a quick release, and he moves really well without the ball in his hands. He’s starting to fill out a bit, which will only continue to help his all-around offensive game. If he can become a more consistent threat with the ball in his hands as a playmaker, he could be one of the best offensive threats in the class.

One of three Kennedy sophomores-to-be on this list, Gomez averaged 10.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game on 46-45-74 shooting splits as a freshman. He’s a long 6-0 guard who can really shoot it off both the dribble and the catch, and he got more comfortable attacking off the bounce as his freshman season progressed. He’s a big part of an absolutely loaded 2029 class at Kennedy.

Right behind Bean this season for Kennedy in scoring output — as a freshman, no less — was Kaden Gomez Kaden Gomez 6'3" | SG Cedar Rapids Kennedy | 2029 State IA . The 6-foot wing scored 10.3 points per game, while adding 3 rebounds per contest.

A shooter with an abundance of confidence, especially for his age, Gomez consistently gets his feet set before firing from deep, looking the exact same every time he launches the rock from three. Whether he’s got a hand in his face or not, Gomez is a knockdown shooter with heaps of potential going forward, assuming he continues to work on his jumper. Reminiscent of Tate Sage at Iowa this season, Gomez is an unflappable youngster that plays beyond his years in self-belief. His catch-and-shoot ability has to be amongst the best in his class, shooting just shy of 45% from three last season.
