Class of 2023: The Show Goes On

<span style="font-weight: 400;">                                    After 42 articles, there is no question we are still producing solid ballers within all of these three (and four) classes. I am stoked to get down to the high-level talent we got going on in the 2025 class. With that being said, every single player (2021-2024) has caught my eye or has stood out to me in some kind of way up to this current time. We have tremendous basketball players growing rapidly in this state that will keep evolving and elevating. I am continuing to bust a move by finding and identifying high-level skillsets of each player in these three (2022-2024) classes. That has not been a problem, as I see a lot of potential and ability in all places on the rankings. When I say, “The Show Goes On” what I mean by that is the opportunities, glory, and praise continues for a long amount of time for these 16-year-olds; as they still have two full seasons of high school basketball, as well as one full AAU season remaining. These incoming juniors have that long window to prove their skills and talent and raise their stock. I am now back at it with analysis articles of five kids in the Class of 2023. Here's to Article #43. Wham!</span> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="127610" first="Madison" last="Brouwer"], 6’0, W, Sibley-Ocheyedan, 2023</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">A smooth, dynamic, crafty kid who has a pure understanding of this game. Displays a high IQ. Can honestly play any position on the court and would be effective. A player I see as a stretch 4 due to her talent on both the perimeter and inside in the paint. Can finish shots at a high percentage. Can shoot the 3 ball with a nice stroke and form. Can crash the boards with efficiency as she finished just below 10 a game this recent high school season. Shot blocking warning call heading across the state of Iowa to all opponents who play against Miss Brouwer. She will block the living daylights out of the ball in either transition or the half court set. Instinctual and athletic as well.</span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13792978/Madison-Brouwer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13792978/Madison-Brouwer</span></a> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="127628" first="Jenna" last="Stephens"], 6’0, W, Stanton, 2023</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">A tall, lanky, inside-out player that would also thrive as a stretch 4 player. Great wing span, and can do a lot on both ends of the floor with that kangaroo length. Talented and versatile. Lights out 3-point shooter and can really rack them up. Can block shot after shot. Nifty post moves in the paint. An animal on the boards. Has a good feel for the game. </span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13421431/Jenna-Stephens"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13421431/Jenna-Stephens</span></a> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="160559" first="Bria" last="Wasmund"], 5’5, PG, Sibley-Ocheyedan, 2023</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Completes a one-of-a-kind, “partner-in-crime”, dynamic duo with fellow high school teammate [player_tooltip player_id="127610" first="Madison" last="Brouwer"]. Talented scoring guard who can rack up the points. Can shoot the 3 ball. Utilize a crafty handle to finish at the rim. Quick, agile, and fast. A terrific athlete. Also is a phenomenal facilitator. Can make excellent passes. Gets into passing lanes to make her an elite defender as well. Another kid with a high IQ and a ton of savvy. </span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13792973/Bria-Wasmund"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13792973/Bria-Wasmund</span></a> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="160560" first="Kaitlyn" last="Mumm"], 6’0, W, Des Moines Christian, 2023</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Another lanky kid. Completes the trio of three 6’0 hoopers being covered in this article that have a versatile game going on. She brings some electric size to the perimeter who can do a lot out there because of her length and ability. Can spot up from 3 with a wonderful stroke. Runs the floor well to finish easy bunnies. Can get to the rim as well. Can do a lot down low and can score down there too. Her long arms create steals, rebounds, blocks, and deflections in an instant. Solid overall player. </span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14032572/Kaitlyn-Mumm"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.hudl.com/profile/14032572/Kaitlyn-Mumm</span></a> &nbsp; <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="160563" first="Kenley" last="Meis"], 5’9, SG, Bishop Heelan, 2023</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Quick, athletic, and fiery shooting guard. Has a pure stroke and can knock down the 3’s. Brings energy to the court. A great handle to finish in the open floor. Can also get to the rim and finish off the glass. A speedster with the capability to rack up the steals. Very talented. Can also rebound the ball too. Has decent size at 5’9. Outstanding feel for the game. </span> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/13915859/Kenley-Meis"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.hudl.com/profile/13915859/Kenley-Meis</span></a> &nbsp;
