<p>Five prospects who will make a big jump in the next class of 2021 player rankings...</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="880034" first="Selle" last="Dime"] - Forward - Golda Meir</strong></p>
<p>Still a long way to reach his ceiling, but Dime did some scary things during his junior season. An extremely long combo forward that’s starting to come into his body, Dime is a force both offensively and defensively. Dime really looked a lot more fluid in his movements and seems to be grasping the game at a better level. The 6-foot-7 junior has all the measurables you want, not just in a Division 1 prospect, but a high major and top 25 type talent. With more reps and repetition, Dime should continue to refine his game and continue to climb up this list.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="879993" first="Hayden" last="Doyle"] - Guard - Brookfield East</strong></p>
<p>He’s not a true point or a true shooting guard and at 5-foot-11, that can probably scare off some schools, but Doyle just continues to produce at a high level and should be rewarded for that. The Brookfield East product had a monster junior season on a very good team and his football background also has to be appealing to the Division 2 programs who have offered or are currently evaluating him. Doyle is a knockdown shooter from anywhere on the floor. Also one of the better defenders in the state, Doyle plays a physical brand of basketball and doesn’t shy away from a challenge.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="764106" first="Gavin" last="McGrath"] - Center - Onalaska</strong></p>
<p>Emerging big man that’s landed a couple of Division 1 offers as of late. McGrath has made big strides since his freshman season and only continues to get better. Two things you can rely on the 6-foot-10 center to do -- protect the rim and attack the offensive glass. Now that McGrath is starting to shoot the ball consistently from 3-point range, that’s opening up a lot of eyes. If McGrath can add muscle to his lean frame and improve his back-to-the-basket scoring ability, you could see his recruitment really take off.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="879995" first="Brock" last="Heffner"] - Forward - Grafton</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps the prospect I’m most eager to see again this summer. Heffner started to emerge last July and seems to have built on that momentum with an outstanding junior highlight tape. The 6-foot-7 junior can play the wing or the power forward position. He’s a unique blend of an old school big man who can back people down in the post and with his back to the basket or pull defenders away from the rim and create mismatch problems. A couple of Division 2 programs have jumped into Heffner’s recruitment during the dead period, while there’s plenty more, including at the Division 1 level, calling about him as well.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="879998" first="Brennan" last="Timm"] - Forward - SJNMA</strong></p>
<p>Timm is the silent assassin of this class. The 6-foot-4 junior doesn’t say a word on the floor, just does his job and kills teams with his motor. A rare talent that can not only survive, but feast on doing the dirty work. Despite being undersized, Timm has some of the best rebounding instincts in this class. He’s not a guy that you necessarily run anything for, but if teams forget about him, Timm will absolutely kill them. Timm had one of the bigger breakout junior seasons that people weren’t talking about last season, averaging 15.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game as the third-best college prospect on his own team. </p>
