One of the most talented players in 2A, Lorenzen is coming off a huge sophomore season in which he averaged 22.5 points and 12.0 rebounds. A versatile forward who can score inside and out, he’ll put up video game numbers for the Pioneers this year.
2.) Beau Butler Beau Butler 6'3" | PF South Hardin | 2021 State IA (South Hardin, 2021) – 10.5 rebounds per game
Butler pulled down four offensive rebounds a game last year, which helped contribute to his 13.5 points a game, getting easy buckets by cleaning up misses.
3.) Caden Kirkman (Wilton, 2023) – 10.3 rebounds per game
Kirkman quietly had one of the best freshmen seasons in the state last year, averaging 14.3 points and 10.3 rebounds. He’ll continue to be a statistical monster for a Beavers team that should be improved.
4.) Jake Nichols (Colfax-Mingo, 2021) – 9.8 rebounds per game
Nichols, like Butler, did a lot of damage on the offensive glass, pulling down 3.8 offensive boards a game last season.
5.) Camden Schroeder Camden Schroeder 6'5" | SF East Sac County | 2021 State IA (East Sac County, 2021) – 9.4 rebounds per game
Schroeder was one of the best players in 2A last year, putting up 22.5 points and 9.4 rebounds a game, plus just under 3 assists and just over 2 blocks a game with 62-44-84 shooting splits.
6.) Adam McIlrath (Roland-Story, 2021) – 9.1 rebounds per game
A skilled forward who can also make plays for others, McIlrath averaged 2.4 assists a game for the Norsemen.
7.) Noah Zmolek (Davis County, 2021) – 9.0 rebounds per game
Zmolek also proved to be a solid rim protector at 6-3, blocking 1.4 shots a game last season for the Mustangs, who return nearly everyone this year and should be much improved.
8.) Josh Haan Josh Haan 6'6" | PF Aplington-Parkersburg | 2021 State IA (Aplington-Parkersburg, 2021) – 8.8 rebounds per game
A big, athletic forward, Haan was a key piece for a balanced Falcons team that will be one of the best in 2A this year.
9.) Drew Runner (East Marshall, 2021) – 8.7 rebounds per game
Runner was a standout for the Mustangs last year, leading the team in rebounding and finishing second in scoring while shooting 54.5% from the floor.
10.) Blake Hall (Underwood, 2021) – 8.3 rebounds per game
Hall was one of the few players around the state who averaged more rebounds than points last season. He’s also a solid playmaker, dishing out 4.4 assists a game.
