Still working his way to varsity at Cedar Rapids Xavier, Sam Evans Sam Evans 6'6" | SG Xavier | 2028 State IA appears just on the cusp of being an impact player for the Saints, who lose a lot going into next season. A self-identified shooting guard, despite standing at 6-foot-6, Evans was one of, if not the tallest player in attendance over the weekend, and played a more traditional front court role for the Splash Bros.

Bouncier than one might think, given his position and slight frame, Evans was threat to throw down a dunk or get an easy layup at any given moment, while also displaying an ability to shoot it from the outside. Not a high-level on-ball creator, he’ll need to work on his handle more, but he could add some shooting and size to next year’s Xavier roster.

Tony Roe

Prep Hoops Lead Scout

A long, athletic forward, Evans is one of the better rim-runners in the class at this point. He’s a mobile, switchable defender with great length that he uses to contest shots and hold his own against smaller players. He rebounds well on both ends and can lead the break after pulling down a defensive board.
