-Noll enjoyed an incredibly-productive second day as a stretch forward prospect that can really, really space the floor with his shooting. Noll knocked down several perimeter jumpers off the catch and really showed an understanding for when to use pump fakes or side steps to create jumpers in rhythm that usually found the bottom of the net. Want to see him become a more explosive athlete to take advantage of his positional size and add to his scoring bag around the rim to accentuate his offensive rebounding ability. But with the positional size, standstill play-making ability from the top of the key or as an outlet passer, shooting, and pretty advanced feel— he’s a really nice sleeper prospect to track in the 2029 class with 3 years to round out his game. 

One of the better long-term prospects in the state, regardless of class, Noll is a 6-9 forward who can stretch the floor, protect the rim, and create off the bounce. His length and mobility allow him to provide all sorts of versatility on the defensive end, and he’s a legitimately good shooter from distance, knocking down 39% of his 3-point attempts as a freshman for the Black Raiders. His size and skill set are really intriguing, and if he can continue to add some strength to his frame, and potentially grow a few more inches, he could turn into a nationally ranked prospect. He already holds a Division I offer from Washington State.

The most intriguing long-term prospect in the game, Noll has impressive perimeter skill for a prospect his size and age. While the offensive skill is what draws the most attention, I was also encouraged Noll grabbed some contested rebounds and think that’s an area he can dominate even more as he fills out his frame through the weight room in the off-season. In the championship victory Noll showed the ability to knock down shots off the catch and attack off the dribble in a straight line. Noll is a prospect college programs from the midwest and beyond will be tracking over the next three years as he already holds an offer from Washington State.

Noll will be one of a handful of players under consideration for the #1 spot in the 2029 class when the initial rankings are published later this summer. He has fantastic size on the wing at 6-9, can shoot it at a pretty high clip (39.1%), and is an impactful defender who contests shots at a really high level, averaging nearly two blocks per game as a freshman at a 4A school.

The tallest player at The Showcase, Liam Noll Liam Noll 6'9" | SF Sioux City East | 2029 State IA immediately grabbed attention from any and all eyes at the event. A slim, skilled big, Noll showed the ability to pass the ball and shoot the three, flashing the look of a high-major big in his future. Like McCollaugh, he’ll need to get into the weight room and stack on some pounds over the next few years, but with the gift of height and his skillset, Noll should be an impact player quickly for Sioux City East.

Noll is a young combo forward who is oozing with long-term potential. Standing 6-8 with the ball handling ability of a guard, he has a smooth stroke with range well beyond the high school line and he shoots it at a high clip off both the dribble and the catch. He has a wingspan that probably comes in around 6-10/6-11, and he uses that length effectively on the defensive end, getting into passing lanes and contesting shots. His ability to space the floor or take smaller defenders onto the block and score are his biggest attributes right now, but this is a young man who has some of the highest upside of any player in the state, regardless of class.
