Five Unranked “Board Monsters” Looking For Big Senior Seasons

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today's scouting report looks at five unraked athletes who crashed the boards for their prep teams last season. Each athlete is in the Kansas Class of 2025 and averaged at least seven rebounds during their junior seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1042525' first='Dallas' last='Sherman']</strong>, 5'6”, SF, Meade, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sherman made some impressive strides between her sophomore and junior seasons. She increased her season averages in almost every statistical category including rebounding. The Meade junior in 24 games grabbed an average of nine rebounds per game. The other eye-popping aspect of that number was that more than half of her boards were on the offensive glass. She scored 10.4 points per game and 2.5 steals per contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1042511' first='Karley' last='Ohl']</strong>, 5'7”, F, Southern Coffey County, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ohl was featured in a scouting report in January for her success as a free-throw shooter. She was also an accomplished glass cleaner for the Titans. She fell just short of averaging a double-double throughout 21 games during her junior season. She averaged 8.3 rebounds and 11.8 points per contest. The interesting aspect of her rebounding was the huge difference in offensive and defensive rebounds. Her ratio of rebounds was 7 to 1 defensive boards to offensive rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ashlyn Tillitson</strong>, 5'9”, PF, Ness City, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tillitson was the leading rebounder for the Ness City Eagles averaging 8.1 rebounds in 20 games. She is a three-sport prospect who plays volleyball and softball for Ness City. She scored 7.1 points and averaged 2.1 steals per game during her junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Grace Rohrer</strong>, 5'8”, PF, Wakefield, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rohrer saw a significant increase in playing time and total boards grabbed for the Wakefield Bombers. She averaged five more rebounds per season as a junior than as a sophomore. In 20 games played as a junior, she averaged 7.3 rebounds and 5.8 points per contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='918829' first='Lailah' last='Simmons']</strong>, 6'0”, PF, Olathe North, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simmons has the size and reach to be an intimidating athlete in the paint and on the glass. She averaged 7.1 rebounds for the Olathe Eagles in 22 games. She is not much of a scoring threat, however, she works hard and has the natural size to be considered a college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
