Cam Christie – 2023 – SG – Illinois Wolves
Christie had a game-high 18 points in a win over George Hill All-Indy on Sunday. The dynamic guard also had the game-winning layup just before time expired, getting to the cup on an isolation clear out. In a high-level matchup with a big time defender, Christie showed why he’s one of the country’s most dangerous scorers. A 6-foot-5 wing who can rise and fire, Christie has terrific elevation on his shot, knows how to set up his looks off the bounce, and just toys with defenders by getting them to drop their hips and protect against the drive or close out too hard to take away his jumper. A three-level scorer who can put the ball who’s not limited to scoring in one or two types of ways, Christie is currently a fringe top 100 prospect nationally, who’s had a big spring and whose stock should continue to climb.
Garwey Dual Garwey Dual 6'5" | PG Carmel | 2023 #113 Nation CA-S – 2023 – SF – George Hill All-Indy
Dual plays with a potential five-star prospect, but is one guy on this George Hill All-Indy squad that doesn’t come off the floor. A junkyard dog defensively, Dual just accepts every challenge that comes his way and can make life really difficult with his length, lateral quickness, and motor. Really impressive upsie on offense as well. Not a big shooter right now, but the 6-foot-6 wing bends and handles the ball very well for his build. He can take some athletes off the dribble by playing very low to the ground and has some explosive leaping ability when he gets near the rim. A ton of high major schools have been inquiring about the Texas native this spring. Think he’ll eventually play his way to that level.
Keaton Frisch Keaton Frisch 6'7" | SF Waunakee | 2024 State WI – 2024 – F – Wisconsin Playground Club
Starting to see this young prospect put the pieces together. Playing in the Under Armour Circuit has done wonders for Frisch, who’s coming into his own, developing confidence, and getting a lot tougher as well. Frisch had 15 points in a win over Young and Reckless, including some free throws in overtime to ice it. A plus-length, versatile , 6-foot-6 wing/forward, Frisch has a big upside. Not only can he handle the ball up the floor, attack the offensive glass, play with his back to the basket, but Frisch is a pretty impressive athlete that gets off the ground very quickly. When the next rankings come out in June, think Frisch is going to make a major move.
Jaquan Johnson Jaquan Johnson 5'10" | PG Pius XI | 2024 State WI – 2024 – PG – Wisconsin Playground Club
Johnson posted 19 points in a semifinal win over Young and Reckless. Can’t even be surprised about what Johnson is doing anymore. He’s run through some of the best programs in the country and proven why height should never define a prospect. The 5-foot-9 guard ate defenders alive on Sunday. Once he gets the ball in his hands and gets out in the open floor, Johnson can put on a show. Built like a running back, Johnson just wants to get downhill and test your defensive principles/willingness to get in front of him and stop him. Johnson was also outstanding defensively. Opponents have to really be wary of where he is on the floor and protect the ball, because Johnson is like a shark in the water and will fly around looking to create havoc.
Sean Ladwig Sean Ladwig 6'4" | SG Catholic Memorial | 2024 State WI – 2024 – SG – MTXE Premier
Liked what Ladwig did during Sunday’s loss to Young and Reckless. Thought he was very effective and getting into high percentage areas, especially in dribble handoff action. Ladwig has really good touch in that 8-10 foot range, shots that are a lot harder than they look especially when your momentum is going to the basket. Good looking frame and positional size as well at 6-foot-3. Ladwig fed off dribble penetration and was able to hunt some 3’s as well, not staying stagnant on the perimeter and relocating once his man turned his back.
Keelyn Tyler Keelyn Tyler 6'1" | PG Milwaukee Hamilton | 2025 WI – 2025 – PG – Team Haliburton
Haliburton was playing up in the 16U Division this weekend. Like the way Tyler is able to knife into gaps and get into high percentage areas. The Milwaukee Hamilton product has good positional size at 6-foot-1 and can handle the ball in traffic. Tyler is an unselfish guard that’s not overly ball dominant, but at the same time, can be aggressive when looking to manufacture offense.
Aaron Womack Aaron Womack 6'3" | SF Dominican | 2025 State #228 Nation WI – 2025 – SF – Team Haliburton
Good upside in this budding wing. Womack as a plus-length 6-foot-5 freshman with a lot of versatility. He can defend four different positions right now and does a great job of playing the passing lanes and effecting things at the rim. Good looking shooter as well. Womack can step into triples and knock it down at a high rate. Sometimes, he’ll just size a defender up and if a hand is down, Womack will let it fly and bury it. Needs to get stronger, but Womack can put it on the deck a bit and create some matchup problems. Think there are a lot of tools to work with here as a multi-dimensional, versatile prospect that can be quite the matchup concern for opposing teams.
