Madison La Follette | 2024

– SF – 2024 – Madison La Follette
The 2024 class has an all-time feel already, and Lomack is one of the top prospects. With a sturdy, solid build, he’s at the same physical stage as seniors in high school. His playstyle feels like a modern point-forward. His mobility, slippery moves, and crisp handle make him unguardable in the open floor, and he has the vision to operate an offense and become a high-level playmaker.

– PF – 2023 – Milwaukee Bay View
No one else in the class dominates on the block like Murchison. A 6’8” lengthy player that finishes above the rim. He has advanced skill as a finisher considering his young age. Can jump well off two feet, making him a rebounding force and serious rim protector.

– PF – 2023 – The Prairie School
Plays loose and free for such a tall prospect. An effortless leaper that makes emphatic dunks look easy. He’s also an advanced perimeter presence. His smooth, high-release jumper and budding off-the-dribble shooting skills should also please scouts.

Already a proven shotblocker, Thomas puts up strong numbers defensively. He’s a spindly 6’9”, but has some filling out to do. Scouts should like the mold he’ll grow into. I also like the early flashes of isolation scoring on the block.

Nicolet | 2023
State
WI
– SF – 2023 – Nicolet
A solid player developing out of a great program. Someone who hasn’t produced a ton on his own, but catches your eye with his 6’5” frame and advanced defensive instinct. Excited to see him grow, and would bet on him making big strides in his next few seasons.
Nacir Beamon – SF – 2024 – Martin Luther
There may not be a better slashing forward in the class than Beamon. A natural athlete with striking power already. Love how he pursues the rim in the halfcourt and fastbreak. Uses a powerful hop step to push aside defenders. Has room to grow on the perimeter, too. No surprise he already has offers.
