In the article below I will be highlighting five players out of this 2025 Class, who compete at the Forward/Post position and we will discuss what their college recruitment looks at this point in time/moving forward.
Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!
Quinn Vice Quinn Vice 6’3″ | PF Pleasant Valley | 2025 State IA has recently committed to the University of Drake to play after her High School career comes to a close and I can’t wait to see what she can do on a college floor. The glimpses I’ve seen of Vice are impressive. She is a tall player that moves really well down the floor and understands that her discipline on the defensive end, can be a main factor as to why her perspective team wins a majority of the time. Having a player like Vice makes your team better as a whole because she has a complete all around game, that produces on both ends of the floor. It’s going to be fun to watch Vice and her Pleasant Valley High School team try to repeat this winter. They bring back a lot of quality pieces and a great team strategy. Will that be enough? Only time will tell..No matter what though, its going to be a fund season to watch.
Highlights
This winter is going to be very important for Sadie Cox Sadie Cox 5’11” | C Lenox | 2025 State IA , regarding her future on the basketball court. Cox is a big time producer at the high school level but I need to see more than that this winter to believe that she could be a major player at the collegiate level. This is another one of those classic situations where the competition level, doesn’t do Coxs justice in my opinion. If Cox were to go to a bigger school and put up the same numbers, would it be more impressive? Yes, but you can’t blame a player for dominating the schedule you put in front of them and for that reason, I think Cox does have a solid chance to play college ball, if given an opportunity. Like I said, she produces big numbers for her Lenox High School team and has a solid foundation, that a college coach could potentially build off of. No doubt about that.
The top ranked Power Forward out of this 2025 Class is Rebecca Aagard Rebecca Aagard 6’2″ | PF North Polk | 2025 State IA of North Polk. Aagard stands at 6’3 and moves REALLY well for her size. She demonstrates the ability to play inside-to-out, with the option to always move inside the paint and dominate her matchup. There aren’t many occasions when Aagard is facing an alike sized player but when she is, she is agile enough to spread out the floor and make her defender guard her outside of the paint, usually creating a mismatch in her favor. I’m going to venture to say that at this moment, Aagard is the STEAL of this Class and it’s not close. She isn’t talked about nearly as much by others and would produce almost immediately in college at the D2/D3/NAIA level. No doubt in my mind.
Jayden Kuper Jayden Kuper 5’11” | SF Monticello | 2025 State IA has put together two impressive seasons so far at Monticello High School and she is looking to build on that some more this winter. Kuper is a physical competitor out on the floor. Someone that can take contact and finish for an AND1 opportunity whenever she catches in the paint with her back to the basket. Kuper also displays the ability to move well and put the ball onto floor if need be. She is always strong in whatever move she is making and usually has a good amount of counter-moves to pull out, if need be. Moving forward, I would think that Kuper is going to be receiving some recruitment calls this winter, if she hasn’t already. It’s not every day that you see a player with this mix of size/skill on the high school floor and when you do, you go after them.
