1. Demarion Burch Demarion Burch 6'3" | SG Milwaukee Hamilton | 2023 State WI – Milwaukee Hamilton
North Carolina A&T, Robert Morris, Nebraska-Omaha, Valparaiso, Bradley, and Milwaukee have all offered Burch. Since his junior year, Burch has taken off like a rocket ship. An explosive, relentless attacker, Burch averaged 30 points, seven rebounds, and five per game last season. One of the best creators in the state, Burch has shake-and-bake handles and pairs it with a mean pull-up game when he can’t get to the rim. Burch thrives in transition, but has steadily improved his halfcourt scoring as well.
2. Tyran Cook Tyran Cook 6'1" | SG Waukesha South | 2023 State WI – Waukesha South
Murray State, Milwaukee, South Dakota, St.Thomas,Green Bay, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, UC-Davis, Cornell, and Western Illinois are all in touch with Cook going into his senior season. The lefty has a good combination of size, strength, and athleticism. He’s a smooth mid-range scorer that plays fast, but is never in a hurry. Able to keep defenders guessing, Cook is a threat from all three levels, utilizes head fakes, change of direction, and change of pace. Coming off a breakout junior season, Cook posted 23 points and eight rebounds per game, leading Waukesha South to an improbable Classic Eight title.
3. Emmett Lawton Emmett Lawton 6'2" | SG Notre Dame Academy | 2023 State WI – Notre Dame
The biggest stock booster in July, Lawton put on some absolute shows and is primed for a huge senior year. Last season, Lawton averaged 14 points per game. A dangerous sniper, sneaky athlete, and gritty defender, Lawton has emerged as a strong Division 2 prospect. Lawton owns a scholarship offer from Northern Michigan. Hillsdale and Washington University in St. Louis are a couple other D2’s showing interest as well.
Highlights
4. Jamariea Dalton Jamariea Dalton 6'3" | SG Fond Du Lac | 2023 State WI – Fond Du Lac
Rockhurst is currently in contact with Dalton going into his senior season. An explosive leaper that can play above the rim with ease, Dalton is one of the best jumpers in this class. Averaging 16 points and three assists per game as a junior, Dalton shot an impressive 45 percent from the field, despite not having a ton of talent around him and getting ganged up on by loaded rosters in the Fox Valley Association.
5. Bennett McCormick Bennett McCormick 6'3" | SG Catholic Memorial | 2023 State WI – Catholic Memorial
An athletic slasher who stars in multiple sports, McCormick really knows how to knife through and carve up a defense. The 6-foot-3 wing has one of the best rip-and-go techniques in the state. Once he gets by a defender, McCormick has great feet in traffic. As a junior, McCormick averaged 14 points and six rebounds per game for a very balanced Catholic Memorial squad.
6. J.R. Lukenbill J.R. Lukenbill 6'4" | SG Burlington | 2023 State WI – Burlington
Lukenbill holds a scholarship offer from Concordia St. Paul. He will visit Northern Michigan this weekend. A steady riser in the rankings, Lukenbill had a terrific junior season, averaging 17 points, eight rebounds, and three assists leading Burlington to a surprising 17-9 record. Really good measurables here. Lukenbill is a legit 6-foot-4 with bounce, strength, and three-level scoring ability.
