Analysis: Last year’s top rebounder, Nate Rawlins-Kibonge, would have been a shoo-in for another rebounding title had he not graduated early but there are a number of guys who could reach double-figures in average this year. Bryce Dyer Bryce Dyer 6'5" | PF North Medford | 2022 State OR (2022 North Medford) simply has a nose for the ball, especially on the offensive glass. He’s improved his offensive game over the off-season and could be a double-double guy. Nathan Meithof Nathan Meithof 6'5" | SG McNary | 2021 State OR (2021 McNary) is also a threat to average a double-double and could be this year’s version of the Big Dog, former Purdue standout Glenn Robinson.
Kavon Bradford Kavon Bradford 6'2" | CG Benson | 2023 State OR (2023 Benson) is an outstanding rebounder, especially for his 6-foot-2 size. He’s quick off his feet, particularly on the offensive glass. Also look for the rebounding average of Marquis Cook Marquis Cook 6'6" | SF AZ Compass Prep | 2023 State #6 Nation AZ (2023 Jefferson) to rise with Rawlins-Kibonge and Kam Robinson moving on. His length and athleticism will be hard to keep off the boards. Other guys that should see a rise with the rebounding average include Dallon Morgan Dallon Morgan 6'9" | PF Sprague | 2022 State OR (2022 Sprague), Luke Johnson Luke Johnson 6'8" | PF Central Catholic | 2022 WV (2022 Central Catholic), and football standout Holden Whipple Holden Whipple 6'5" | PF West Salem | 2021 State OR (2021 West Salem).
