There’s no shortage of basketball firepower on the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Iowa boys teams.
Big-time scorers Joe Wieskamp (Muscatine) and Joe Smoldt (Gladbrook-Reinbeck) highlight the ALL-USA Iowa teams, which also feature several Division I recruits in Iowa City West’s Connor McCaffery (Iowa) and Waverly-Shell Rock’s Austin Phyfe (Northern Iowa).
