More UNI offers and interests here than ISU, but I’d expect some of these become new ISU targets, given the new coaching staff. Wouldn’t you?

Here are the top 10. (* = ISU offer; ^ = UNI, SD, SDst, Iowa, etc, offer/interest. Only Dix is currently listed as “ISU interest.”)
1. Tamin Lipsey, PG, Ames* - Lipsey is an old-school, 6-foot-2 floor general who plays like a 15-year veteran but also has the agility and explosiveness to beat anyone one-on-one. He's a program-changing type of talent who can run any offense in the book. His 3-point shot has now become a strength, and that pushes him into elite territory.
2. Josh Dix, SG, Council Bluffs Lincoln^ - Dix has blossomed into an emerging high-major prospect with his length and shot-making ability, combined with his tight handle and excellent rebounding for his position. With speed and a 6-4 frame, he can guard any position on the perimeter. He scored 32 points against nationally ranked Millard North in January.
3. Ruot Bijiek, PF, West Des Moines Valley^ - Bijiek may have the highest upside on this list. Primarily a down-low post player his first two years of high school, Bijiek came back to Iowa after briefly committing to Hillcrest Prep in Arizona and showed off a rapidly developing stretch forward game. Translation: He's 6-9, getting more agile every day and shoots 39.5% from outside.
4. Pete Moe, PF, Iowa City West^ - Moe is sure to reel in his first offer soon. The son of former Hawkeye Jeff Moe, Pete is a well-built, 6-9 power forward who shot 38.9% from long range this year after moving from Indiana. He's as confident in his outside shot as he is muscling his way to a bucket down low, and that confidence can separate him from other 6-9 forwards his age.
5. Steven Kramer, SF, Johnston^ - The Register took a chance ranking Kramer No. 5 entering the season, and he proved us right with his breakout performance at the state tournament. Kramer is an athletic 6-6 wing who impressed with his consistently aggressive, fearless play and his length and versatility on defense. He's also an excellent passer for his position.
6. Trey Campbell, PG, Cedar Falls^ - On a team full of superstars, Campbell thrived as Cedar Falls' point guard this year and landed his first offer from Northern Iowa. His 6-4 length and Division I football-level athleticism make him stand out, but Campbell also wows with his court vision, which led to five assists per game and just 1.3 turnovers per game.
7. Tanner Te Slaa, PG, Boyden-Hull^ - Another long, 6-4 point guard, Te Slaa is a smart player who understands his strengths and rarely plays out of control. His jump shot, whether from long-range or mid-range, is among the prettiest in the state, and his passes are quick and precise.
8. Cole Glasgow, SG, Dallas Center-Grimes^ - Glasgow is a physical, 6-4 scorer who has a knack for putting the ball through the hoop. Whether he's posting up a smaller guard, slashing for lay-up or sizing up his man for a 3-pointer, the high-flying Glasgow is instant offense.
9. DaVares Whitaker, PG, Sioux City East - The ceiling is high for the 6-1 Whitaker, who transferred into Iowa from Arkansas this season. You won't find a guard in this state with more high-flying athleticism. His stock will only rise as his game becomes as technically refined as it is explosive. From low-major to high-major, Whitaker could realistically land anywhere.
10. Cameron Fens, C, Dubuque Hempstead^ - A 6-10 post with good footwork and size who can run the floor well, Fens is the top center in Iowa's 2022 class. The son of a former Division I center at Northern Illinois, Fens is a low-floor prospect with minimal risk who could wind up as a steal.
