Best Available: 2020 Power Forwards

<p>It’s closing time in the 2020 recruiting cycle. With the 2019-20 season now complete, the pool of talent continues to dwindle as college programs work to put the finishing touches on their recruiting classes. </p> <p>Here’s an in-depth look an the top available power forwards still on the board in Wisconsin…</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="694793" first="Terrance" last="Thompson"] - La Crosse Central</p> <p>Thompson is down to Duquesne and UW-Green Bay.  There’s been some considerable buzz for the Phoenix over the last several months.</p> <p>As a senior, Thompson posted 14.3 points per game. While he’s always kind of been overshadowed at the high school and AAU levels, Thompson is a terrific mid-major prospect. A 6-foot-8 power forward who runs like a deer in the open floor, has explosive leaping ability, and can shoot the 3-ball consistently, Thompson has an extremely intriguing skillset. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="880972" first="Delaware" last="Hale"] - Sun Prairie</p> <p>A top 30 prospect, Hale is still just scratching the surface of his potential.  The 6-foot-7 forward is  a long, athletic forward who’s now starting to expand his skillset.  He’s a force around the rim on both ends of the floor and can also do some exciting things in transition.</p> <p>Hale may end up going the junior college route and taking another year or two to develop.  He recently listed Trinidad State and Kirkwood as two schools expressing strong interest.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/DelawareHale?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DelawareHale</a> with the flush. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/wisbb?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#wisbb</a> <a href="https://t.co/vyuJJjnRhR">pic.twitter.com/vyuJJjnRhR</a></p> — Prep Hoops Wisconsin (@PrepHoops_WI) <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepHoops_WI/status/1223065235336126464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 31, 2020</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="774481" first="Aiden" last="Flynn"] - Marquette</p> <p>Flynn had a breakout senior season for Marquette, averaging 22.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. A versatile lefty who can slash, attack the rim, and pull opposing bigs away from the basket, Flynn  is a lot to handle even at 6-foot-5. </p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">[player_tooltip player_id="774481" first="Aiden" last="Flynn"] having a monster senior season for Marquette.<br /> <br /> Senior forward had 29 points against Arrowhead on Saturday.<a href="https://twitter.com/WisRAPnation?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WisRAPnation</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MUHSBasketball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MUHSBasketball</a> <a href="https://t.co/3m4lUgYek7">pic.twitter.com/3m4lUgYek7</a></p> — Prep Hoops Wisconsin (@PrepHoops_WI) <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepHoops_WI/status/1231776367148175361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 24, 2020</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="553389" first="Jacob" last="Newhouse"] - Kaukauna</p> <p>Newhouse recently picked up a scholarship offer from Minnesota State-Mankato. There are a handful of other Division 2 and 3 programs also invested in Newhouse at this time.  A sweet-shooting big man who can excel in the pick n’ pop game, Newhouse averaged 17.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as a senior. </p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="935442" first="Eric" last="Radisevic"] - Brookfield Central</p> <p>A guy that’s going to move up into the top 40 of the next rankings update, Radisevic holds a pair of Division 2 scholarship offers from UW-Parkside and Hillsdale.</p> <p>On arguably the state’s most talented and deepest team, Radisevic averaged 13.4 points per game, good for second on the Lancers. An old school post prospect who excels with his back to the basket, Radisevic has terrific skill and touch on the block. A guy that barely played as a junior, Radisevic was the fastest-rising player in Wisconsin’s 2020 class.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">SLEEPER ALERT!<br /> <br /> 2020 power forward [player_tooltip player_id="935442" first="Eric" last="Radisevic"] turned heads at the <a href="https://twitter.com/BC_Hoops?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BC_Hoops</a> fall league.<a href="https://twitter.com/datwhippedcream?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@datwhippedcream</a> <a href="https://t.co/S2BSZ6q7eF">pic.twitter.com/S2BSZ6q7eF</a></p> — Prep Hoops Wisconsin (@PrepHoops_WI) <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepHoops_WI/status/1182015934690709504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2019</a></blockquote> <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="935426" first="Mason" last="Johnson"] - Golda Meir</p> <p>Johnson was one of the most dominant players in the state this season. Playing with an extremely high motor, Johnson posted 27.4 points and a ridiculous 18.7 rebounds per game as a senior.   It feels  like Johnson will probably end up going the junior college route.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="935420" first="Gabe" last="Krueger"] - Wausau East</p> <p>Krueger had one of the more overlooked senior seasons in the state.

Krueger had five 40-point games this season, including nine outings with 30 points or more.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
