If you go through junior high and high school in Iowa, you qualify. My question. My rules.
Oh, then Jon Lickliter qualifies.

Jordan Egleseder probably deserves to be on this list.
Russ Millard as well.
Kevin Kunnert, interestingly, played very little in high school. He hit his growth spurt between junior and senior year, miss time due to mono, and had other nagging ailments.
Dubuque Wahlert also had some powerhouse teams in those days, many of their players coming in from Dickeyville and Hazel Green Wisconsin or from East Dubuque.
Cuba City's Jerry Petitgoue, still going strong after fifty years on the Cuba bench, had to compete against the Wahlert pipeline for players from his own territory for the first two decades of his career. The players that Petitgoue lost to Wahlert probably cost him at least two state championships.

And Xavier Foster. The McCafferys.
15,000 points is quite a career!

I believe the McCafferys were born out-of-state. What's the framework for this? Native Iowans or just guys who played their high school ball in Iowa?
Hot take alert: If Glen Worley had gone to any of his other final college choices, he would have been an All-American and had a 10+ year NBA career.
One of several players who legitimately got worse under Alford's tutelage.

I think this is a little bit of a stretch, but, he was a good player.

Steve Waite. A really good Hawk and led Iowa City West to its only State championship from its opening in 68 until West finally got rid of all the City high graduate realtors and they built up the corridor.
