The top post in the entire state is Audi Crooks Audi Crooks 6'3" | C Bishop Garrigan | 2023 State #42 Nation IA . She holds the top spot among all players in the 2023 class in the overall rankings as well. Crooks has great footwork and skill and is a dominant back-to-basket player as she demonstrated this past year. Crooks is the best talent in the freshman class right now and she projects to be at or near the top in the four years to come.
Rounding out the top five are Ava Schubert Ava Schubert 6'1" | SF Assumption | 2023 State IA , Madison Hillman Madison Hillman 6'1" | PF Saint Ansgar | 2023 State IA , Sierra Moore Sierra Moore 6'1" | PF Waterloo West | 2023 State IA , and Riley Batta Riley Batta 5'10" | PF South Central Calhoun | 2023 State IA . All four of these players are forwards who can make plays with the ball in their hands whether that be getting to the rim or making plays for others. There are so many different types of options in this freshman class for forwards. You have players like Ava Meyer Ava Meyer 6'1" | SF Iowa City Liberty | 2023 State IA and Ellie Flanagan Ellie Flanagan 5'7" | SF North Linn | 2023 State IA who are more of a typical stretch four player and then players like Johnna Rotto Johnna Rotto 6'0" | C Gilbert | 2023 State IA and Gracie Schoonhoven Gracie Schoonhoven 5'11" | PF Unity Christian | 2023 State IA who are your more typical back-to-basket strength players. This is a very deep set of interior forwards and a lot fo them will likely end up bouncing and playing more on the outside when things are all said and done
Be on the lookout for further analysis of the posts later this week.
