A huge body in the paint, Krogh looks like an offensive tackle. He has good feet and runs the floor fairly well. He’s a limited offensive threat, but is efficient around the rim. He does a good job not leaving his feet on the defensive end, rather letting his pure size and length do the work. He blocked 53 shots on the season.
Christian Haugstad Christian Haugstad 6'7" | C Aplington-Parkersburg | 2022 State IA | C | Aplington-Parkersburg
A young big man with good size and great hands, Haugstad is an efficient finisher around the rim and a solid rebounder as well. He needs to continue developing his post moves and adding some range to his game, but is a 73% free throw shooter, so some face-up game possibilities are there.
Luth Dak Luth Dak 6'8" | PF Storm Lake | 2022 State IA | PF | Storm Lake
Dak is a long, athletic forward who can protect the rim and runs the floor really well. His offensive game is still a work in progress, and he needs to add weight and strength to his frame, but he has the type of length that few in Iowa possess.
Craig Mills Craig Mills 6'5" | PF Kennedy | 2022 State IA | PF | Kennedy
Mills didn’t get much varsity run this year for Kennedy, but was a solid contributor on their sophomore team. He’s a raw, big body in the paint who can run the floor and rebound well on both ends of the floor.
Will McLaughlin Will McLaughlin 6'3" | PF Harlan | 2022 State IA | PF | Harlan
A physical interior presence, McLaughlin is an efficient scorer around the bucket who also blocked a team-high 27 shots for the Cyclones.
Kole Becker Kole Becker 6'3" | PF Lisbon | 2022 State IA | PF | Lisbon
Combo forward with good size and length. He handles the ball fairly well and is capable of knocking down an occasional 3. He needs to continue to develop his low-post game and a more consistent jumper.
Angel Jose Angel Jose 6'4" | PF Central Springs | 2022 State IA | PF | Central Springs
An active big man, Jose was a bright spot for a bad Central Springs team, averaging 13.8 points on 48% shooting. He’s agile, has good hands and wants to keep improving.
Ben DeMeulenaere Ben DeMeulenaere 6'3" | PF Belle Plaine | 2022 State IA | PF | Belle Plaine
An undersized 4, DeMeulenaere does a great job against 1A competition establishing early post position and finishing around the rim. He’ll need to add some range to his game if he wants to play at the next level.
