2026's With Something To Prove This Winter

In this piece we briefly cover four players out of the 2026 Class in Iowa with something to prove this Winter to everyone watching. Each of these hoopers has produced up to this point in their careers and if they finish it off on a high note, who knows where they might end up at the next level.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='534428' first='Aubrey' last='Kroymann'] is going to be a nice piece at the next level with her mixture of length, skill, coordination, and touch on the basketball. Kroymann would be considered a 6'0 Center on the high school floor with the ability to move to the Forward spot if need be. That's going to be crucial at the next level. With Kroymann's size and skill, she will have to move to the 4 spot in most situations at the next level but that all depends on the system. She is sound in her movements on both offense and defense, while usually not making too many mistakes throughout the duration of a contest. If she builds on what her skill set is now and she finds a system that plays to her advantages, watch out.     There is a lot of intrigue in [player_tooltip player_id='560335' first='Jordyn' last='Crosman']'s play-style. Crosman is a smaller guard that is good with pace of play and situational awareness. She is someone your team would look up too, to set up their team's system. It could be in the half court or off of a rebound and in transition - it doesn't really matter. She isn't one to get too sped up or pressured in big moments. Instead, she stays calm and makes productive plays. All you really want from a coaching perspective. All in all, if I'm a college coach around Iowa, I'm looking at Ogden at that D3 level. She has promise and she is locked in mentally whenever I see her so I'm sure she is ready to work.     [player_tooltip player_id='1190190' first='Karlyn' last='Kovarna'] was a crucial piece to her team's 2A State Championship last winter for the 2024-2025 season. Kovarna, a 5'11 SF/CG, stood out as a versatile producer. She didn't lead her team in any category necessarily but she was always there to chip in and make meaningful plays down the stretch of big contests. Last Winter Hinton High School went 26-0. They ran the table and they will have another chance of that over these next eight months. They return most if not all starters from a year ago and they get back Creighton Volleyball commit, [player_tooltip player_id='582808' first='Bailey' last='Boeve'], from injury. If she comes correct, this group could make another special run for the 2025-2026 seasons.     I've said it a few times this AAU season but Forest City is going to have a group to know over the next few years at the high school level. The prospects they return are solid and their younger players coming up can really hoop. Someone that comes to mind for this upcoming Winter, who will be a Senior for FC is [player_tooltip player_id='1222006' first='Cadence' last='Sletten']. Sletten is a Forward who does a great job playing defense on and off of the ball. She knows where she needs to be in space and when she needs to react. She also isn't afraid to bruise down-low or mix it up with anyone who might be bigger than her in height. If you are looking for someone that plays the game the right way and who always gives it her all, look no further than Sletten.
