Brandin Podziemski Brandin Podziemski 6'6" | SG Saint John's Northwestern Academy | 2021 State #232 Nation WI — SG — 2021 — SJNMA
What else can you say about Podziemski? He was really good as a junior last season, but this year the shooting guard has become simply unstoppable. In a blowout win over the University School last night, Podziemski scored 40 points on 14-19 shooting from the field. If he keeps putting up huge numbers, there is no doubt in my mind that he should be in the conversation to earn Wisconsin’s Mr. Basketball award.
Jameer Barker Jameer Barker 6'2" | SG Racine St. Catherine's | 2021 State WI — SG — 2021 — Racine St. Catherine’s
Playing for the Wisconsin Sharks on the Prep Hoops Circuit this past summer, I thought that Barker did some really positive things. The shooting guard is a tough shot maker who can be really tough to slow down when he gets going. On Monday night, he led his team to a victory by tallying 27 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. College programs in search of a very good overall prospect should look no further than Barker.
Tre Valeriano Tre Valeriano 6'0" | PG Pius XI | 2021 State WI — PG — 2021 — Pius XI Catholic
Valeriano is one of the toughest players to guard in the entire state. He can use his speed and ball-handling ability to get buckets at all three levels. On Monday night, he delivered with yet another great performance. Valeriano scored 35 points, making four three-pointers. If he keeps improving, there is no doubt that the point guard has a future in college basketball.
Angelo Rizzo Angelo Rizzo 6'3" | SG Janesville Craig | 2021 State WI — SG — 2021 — Janesville Craig
Rizzo is a prospect that has quietly had an amazing junior season. The 2021 shooting guard is scoring 19.1 points per game. Last night, he put together one of his better performances, as he scored 22 points for his squad in a loss. As a prospect, he still has a lot of time to develop and grow. Look for him to have a big spring/summer on the AAU Circuit.
J.T. Seagreaves J.T. Seagreaves 6'6" | PF Monroe | 2022 State WI — PF — 2022 — Monroe
In my opinion, Seagreaves is one of the more underrated and underappreciated prospects in Wisconsin’s 2022 class. The Monroe power forward is a do it all player that can score in the paint and from beyond the arc. In a 91-53 win over Janesville Craig, the PF scored 21 points. Look for Seagreaves to start catching the eye of some college programs.
Greg Galloway Greg Galloway 6'2" | SF Oconomowoc | 2022 State WI — SF — 2022 — Oconomowoc
Galloway is not the most flashy or exciting prospects in the 2022 class, but he has now proven on multiple occasions that he is more than capable of getting the job done. On Monday night, the small forward had his best game of the season, scoring 25 points in a win for his team.
Quentin Bolton Quentin Bolton 6'5" | SF Shoreland Lutheran | 2021 State WI — SF — 2021 — Shoreland Lutheran
Even though Shoreland Lutheran has struggled to string together some wins, Bolton has been great. The small forward is a strong, athletic player that is very tough to slow down when he has the ball in his hands. Bolton scored 21 points last night in a loss to Racine St. Catherine’s.
