Class of 2013

Peter Jok has been touted by some as the next big thing to come out of Iowa. We are not sure if he will be that guy, but he is certainly a talented kid with a good skill-set and a very bright future. He has done very well against national competition and looked the past this winter at Roosevelt.

Right behind Jok is a number of very talented guys at a variety of positions. Josh Weeber put up some very impressive numbers and helped Dubuque Senior become a very solid team. Iowa City West has a couple of young guns who have a bright future and Austin Halls plays at a small school, but he he has big-time game.

It will be interesting to see who continues to improve, who grows and who does not. Keep an eye on this class as they have a lot of talent. That said, here's our first crack at ranking the Top 30 players in the Class of 2013. Let us know what you think.

Class of 2012

The Class of 2012 definitely has some talent and is led by none other than silky-smooth guard Marcus Paige of Linn-Mar. This young guard already has a handful of offers and is considered one of the top 25 players in the country. As good as Paige is, the talent doesn't stop there as Adam Woodbury, James Harrington and Casey Kasperbauer are also gunning for the #1 spot. This class still has a long way to go, but so far they have

Class of 2011

The top spot in the class is still being held onto by guard Josh Oglesby. He missed some time to start the season, but once in action he lived up to the hype as he helped guide his team to a surprise trip to the state tournament. He has a handful of scholarship offers and has many big time programs recruiting him. That said, the big mover in the rankings is forward Jarrod Uthoff. He has really seen his stock rise over the past two months. All of these guys on our list had nice seasons and have a lot of potential. The next few months will allow them to test their skills against top national competition and we will see who rises and who falls.
