1. Tyrese Hunter Tyrese Hunter 5'11" | PG Racine St. Catherine's | 2021 State #63 Nation WI – Racine St. Catherine’s – 2021:
The Iowa State commit is an all-around talent. He wears many hats: he can facilitate an offense, is an underrated two-way threat, and a high-flyer in transition. He’s a hard-nosed, tough opponent and will cause issues at the high-major level.
2. Kobe Johnson Kobe Johnson 6'5" | PG Nicolet | 2021 State #240 Nation WI – Nicolet – 2021:
Johnson is a guard with intriguing physical upside. We could see him blossom defending positions 1-5 and putting up serious numbers across the stat sheet. He just released his final five schools which includes USC, Kansas State, and Cal.
3. Tayshawn Bridges – Brookfield East – 2024:
Bridges is an off-the-charts athlete with a powerful first step, amazing body control, and accuracy at the rim. He’s possibly an inch or two short for some scouts, as he stands at roughly 6’2” now, but four years gives him plenty of time to grow.
4. Kamari Mcgee Kamari Mcgee 6'0" | PG Racine St. Catherine's | 2021 State WI – Racine St. Catherine’s – 2021:
This summer McGee ran an AAU offense like a seasoned college team. He has great instinct and can support a team wherever it’s needed, whether that’s a burst of scoring, tough one-on-one defense, or sparking transition.
5. Seth Trimble Seth Trimble 6'3" | PG Menomonee Falls | 2022 State #50 Nation WI – Menomonee Falls – 2022:
A major athlete with an improving offensive skill set. Trimble puts up big numbers and is one of the top two-way guards in the class.
6. Ben Nau Ben Nau 6'1" | PG Brookfield Central | 2021 State WI – Brookfield Central – 2021:
Nau is a pure point guard in a traditional sense. He can run an offense well, is selfless, and makes high IQ plays. When needed he can make big shots from behind the arc, and shouldn’t be forgotten as a scorer.
7. JaKobe Thompson – Racine Case – 2021:
Thompson consistently falls under the radar, but the guard is a big-time scorer. As a natural slasher, he is slippery around defenders and poised against pressure. He stands out jumping gaps on defense and can easily turn sloppy passes into fastbreaks.
8. Armani Jones Armani Jones 5'8" | PG Brown Deer | 2022 State WI – Brown Deer – 2022:
Although he’s not the tallest, Jones could be the most naturally skilled prospect in his class. He can shoot, has a crafty handle, and is an effective driver with his low center of gravity and touch on runners.
9. Dustin Beauprey Dustin Beauprey 6'3" | PG Mt Top Christian | 2021 State WI – Mountain Top Christian – 2021:
Beauprey burst onto the scene this summer. He’s a strong-bodied, physical guard that can play a variety of roles in an offense. He’s an ultra-efficient shooter and can score in volume within the flow of an offense.
10. Jack Campion Jack Campion 5'10" | PG Milton | 2022 State WI – Milton – 2022:
Campion has more speed than any guard on this list. He’s a shifty, agile facilitator that looks like a blur in transition. He can score well at close range and is improving from mid-range, but he’s at his best when he’s using his speed to initiate offense.
