Maximus Nelson Maximus Nelson 6'7" | PF Appleton North | 2022 State #236 Nation WI — 2022 — PF — Appleton North
Nelson is poised for a huge senior season, as he absolutely dominated in Appleton North’s first two games of the year. The 2022 power forward kicked off the season with a 25-point performance in a victory over Shawno. He then followed that up by dropping 34 points in a winning effort against Bay Port. Nelson is a tremendous shooter that can catch fire quickly from behind the arc.
Jack Daugherty Jack Daugherty 6'8" | PF Brookfield Central | 2024 State #311 Nation WI — 2024 — PF — Brookfield Central
Brookfield Central doesn’t rebuild. They simply reload. After losing a lot of production from last season, the Lancers have found another star in Daugherty. The 6-foot-7 forward tallied 30 points in an 86-68 win over Racine Case. He shot an efficient 12-18 from the field, including two made threes. Currently ranked inside the top ten in Wisconsin’s 2024 class, look for Daugherty to have a huge sophomore season.
Danilo Jovanovich Danilo Jovanovich 6'6" | PF Whitnall | 2022 State WI — 2022 — F — Whitnall
In two games, Jovanovich produced big-time numbers. He dropped 28 points in a blowout win over Denmark and put up 29 points in a close loss to Menomonee Falls. The Miami commit is an effective slasher that has become a matchup nightmare. Jovanovich’s first two games were not an aberration. Expect the forward to continue to record impressive stats
Christopher Morgan Christopher Morgan 6'1" | PG Kaukauna | 2022 State WI — 2022 — PG — Kaukauna
I have a feeling that Morgan is going to wake a lot of people up this season. The senior point guard has always been good, but now he is playing on another level. In Kaukauna’s first game, the Purdue Fort Wayne commit scored 28 points on 8-16 shooting from the field in a blowout win over Grafton. Look for Morgan to significantly raise his stock this winter.
Jordan Glenn Jordan Glenn 5'11" | PG Wisconsin Lutheran | 2022 State WI — 2022 — G — Wisconsin Lutheran
After experiencing a truly life-changing event last season, Glenn returned to action and looked great. The senior point guard led his squad with 20 points in a big win over a solid Fon Du Lac team. Glenn is a tremendous shooter from the mid-range and from behind the arc. He is also a really good defender that has no problem locking down the opposing team’s best player.
Steven Clay Steven Clay 6'5" | SG Menomonee Falls | 2022 State #193 Nation WI — 2022 — SF — Menomonee Falls
Seth Trimble Seth Trimble 6'3" | PG Menomonee Falls | 2022 State #50 Nation WI has earned the number one spot in Wisconsin’s 2022 rankings. But forgetting how good Clay is would be a major mistake. The senior small forward is an amazing isolation scorer that can get buckets from all three levels with ease. In a close contest against Whitnall, Clay paced his squad in scoring with 24 points.
Cody Schmitz Cody Schmitz 6'4" | SG Gale Ettrick-Trempeleau | 2024 State WI — 2024 — G/F — Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau
It is impossible to leave Schmitz off this list after the incredible performances that he had. Through two games the 2024 prospect is averaging 50 points per game! First, he dropped 61 points in a win over Sparta. He followed that up with an equally impressive 39-point performance in a win over C-FC. Schmitz’s greatness has been one of the biggest storylines early in the high school basketball season.
Mason Prey Mason Prey 6'4" | CG Newman Catholic | 2023 State WI — 2023 — G — Newman Catholic
Through three games, Newman Catholic’s Prey is scoring 24.3 points per game on 52 percent shooting from the field. Prey is an impressive scorer that uses his strength and skill very effectively. He is also extremely well rounded, as the guard doesn’t have any significant weakness in his game. Prey is definitely going to be a prospect to keep an eye on going forward.
