Patrick Baldwin Jr. Patrick Baldwin Jr. 6'9" | SF Sussex Hamilton | 2021 State #2 Nation WI – Sussex Hamilton: Baldwin is likely not in the mix for any additional recruiting surge. Arguably the top prospect in the country has quietly narrowed his list, and with a variety of destinations competing for his services, it’ll surely be a popular decision across the nation.
Brandin Podziemski Brandin Podziemski 6'6" | SG Saint John's Northwestern Academy | 2021 State #232 Nation WI – SJNMA: Podziemski landed two blockbuster offers in Kentucky and Kansas this offseason. With many other schools offering the guard, he’ll be able to choose just about any destination come commitment time.
John Lovelace John Lovelace 6'4" | SF Brown Deer | 2021 State WI – Brown Deer: Lovelace embodies the profile of a four-year, division one recruit. Over his varsity career, he’s grown out of his wiry frame, looking more like a 6’7”, filled-out forward. From his sophomore grassroots season, Lovelace matured significantly. He’s now a downhill driver with a deep arsenal on moves to freeze his defender. He finishes comfortably above the rim, and is still a pinpoint shooter. I see him as a major asset for a mid-major D1 or higher.
Antuan Nesbitt Antuan Nesbitt 6'4" | SF Racine | 2021 State WI – The Prairie School: A banner fall period saw him post 40-point games, poster dunks, and more. He can dice up defenses at all three levels. He’s dangerous when he gets in the paint, but is just as big a threat when he has space on the perimeter. It’s easy to pigeonhole him as a scorer, but he’ll give you 10 rebounds a night and make noise across the whole stat sheet. He has division one potential, but I could also see him being a stud at the division two-level.
Jakobe Thompson Jakobe Thompson 6'1" | PG Racine Case | 2021 State WI – Racine Case: Thompson hasn’t gotten the attention he probably deserves. Maybe undersized from a height standpoint, but Thompson compensates with agile feet and strength. He’s checked most of the boxes at the high school level, leading Case to a one-seed in state and leading his roster in scoring for back-to-back seasons. Not sure why there aren’t serious offers on the table, especially from division two schools.
Grant Flory Grant Flory 6'5" | PF Wisconsin Rapids | 2021 State WI – Wisconsin Rapids: Flory might put up the best numbers of anyone in the state. He averaged nearly 30 points per game last year, and is only improving his skillset. He didn’t play a grassroots season, but that shouldn’t deter interested schools. At his core, he’s a physically dominant player, and his defensive prowess only adds more intrigue. A sleeper for schools to looking for an aggressive, versatile recruit.
Preston Ruedinger Preston Ruedinger 6'1" | PG Lourdes Academy | 2021 State WI – Lourdes Academy: A prototype point guard that’s solid across the board. He already nabbed division two offers, a testament to his potential as a pure point guard. He has the poise to take over at a school right away. He’s also a knockdown shooter, unfazed ball-handler, and electric playmaker.
