Continue ReadingWith recruitment winding down for the bulk of the senior class, Prep Hoops Wisconsin takes a look at the top unclaimed seniors, identifying their “strengths”, offers and predicted division.
Terrance Thompson – La Crosse Central
Strengths: Thompson could fit within any system, hence his extended offer list. He’s played on a successful Wisconsin Playground grassroots team, implementing his size and down-low scoring prowess, and with Central, his high-motor makes him an essential on the floor. He falls on this list because he will be an critical piece to the right program that wins his recruiting sweepstakes.
Offers: Toledo, Missouri State, Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Illinois Chicago, Grambling State, DePaul, UW Milwaukee, UW Green Bay, Bradley, and Duquesne.
Potential: Division One
Anthony Washington – Madison East
Strengths: Washington is still offerless, which is beyond baffling. He’s a division one caliber athlete and a slasher, but it’s likely that he morphs into “that guy” at the right division two school. Certainly, he’ll be a late gem for any program, the question is now what school will choose him (a few are actively showing interest).
Offers: None
Potential: Division One
Alex Antetokounmpo – Dominican
Strengths: There’s not much of a ceiling present for Antetokounmpo. He has division one written all over him. While some classify him as “a project,” it’s more likely that his length and skill makes lightning-quick improvements throughout his college career. His recruitment has been quiet, but, without much insider knowledge to base off of, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some late players take a shot at the forward.
Offers: UW Green Bay and Miami (OH)
Potential: Division One
Karter Thomas – Oshkosh West
Strengths: Thomas had JUCO and division two interest prior to the season, and amid a 20.6 points per game season, he has garnered interest from UWSL, Lipscomb, and NDSU. He has a vast offensive arsenal and could fit a spot-up shooter role at the division two level immediately. Thomas has the potential to be much more than that, though, likely finding the best fit at a high-profile division two school.
Offers: None
Potential: Division Two
Logan Jedwabny – Kaukauna
Strengths: Senior writer Evan Flood had plenty of praise for Jedwabny at the Wisconsin-Minnesota Border Battle. He deserves it, too, as the guard has the perfect game for the division two-level. He can shoot the lights out, either spotting up or as the main offensive playmaker, and he has ample size as a two-guard. If college programs are seeking a high-impact guard this spring, they could make a late push towards Jedwabny.
Offers: Northern Michigan
Potential: Division Two
Shilo Bowles – West Allis Central
Strengths: Bowles scooped up his Northern Michigan offer just recently, dipping his foot further into the division two field. His intangibles are clearly at the division two level, although he’s close to that mid-major division one conversation. His offer list would have grown larger if not for his late ascension to the college world, but he’s found a solid footing late in his senior season, as he has two visits planned following this season.
Offers: Northern Michigan, Bryant and Stratton, and Olney Central
Potential: Division Two
Gerald Gittens – SJNMA
Strengths: Gittens has long been a sleeper prospect, but after nabbing his first offer a little more than a month ago, he’s finding some more attention from schools. He’s built for the college game, as he’s a gifted passer and paint scorer with enough mettle to compete against anyone on the grassroots or high school level.
Offers: Minnesota-Crookston
Potential: Division Two
Delaware Hale – Sun Prairie
Strengths: Hale’s size and athleticism are division one caliber, as he could be a sneaky, high-potential player to come out of this class. His latest recruitment action has been JUCO (both Trinidad and Highland have been in contact), which may be a beneficial route for him to fine-tune his game and continue attracting colleges (possibly division ones).
Offers: Bryant and Stratton, Trinidad (JC)
Potential: Division Two
Colin Schaefer – Sun Prairie
Strengths: Schaefer is a perfect guard to orchestrate an offense, which was shown through Sun Prairie’s annual success with him at the helm. He’s currently averaging 17.3 points per game, pacing his roster. If he can make another run to State, a crucial platform for players in the past, then he could grab some late offers in the division two area.
Offers: Northern Michigan, Highland (CC)
Potential: Division Two
Reed Gunnink – Laconia
Strengths: Gunnink has seen some serious movement in his recruitment as of late. After turning down both of his division two offers, he has chosen to play at the division three level. UW Oshkosh, UW La Crosse, and Platteville are his final choices, each of them in the running for a major steal in the guard.
Offers: Minnesota Crookston and Bryant and Stratton
Potential: Division Two
