<p>The Prep Hoops Wisconsin Top250 Expo returns to Appleton on Sunday. Here's a look at 10 under the radar wings that college coaches need to be aware of going into the event.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1036778" first="Evan" last="Bogard"] - 2022 - Waupaca</p>
<p>Seen a little bit of Bogard on film over the summer and he definitely shows a lot of good signs. Good-looking floor spacer. Excellent positional size at 6-foot-6. Averaged 6.4 points and knocked down 28 triples as a sophomore. Also does a good job slashing. Can lower his shoulder and power through contact en route to the rim. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1018019" first="Amillion" last="Buggs"] - 2022 - Wausau West</p>
<p>Not sure that many people are aware of Buggs yet. He really came on strong in the summer with ABC Young Lions and emerged as a top 30 prospect in the state. An athletic, high motor wing that scores in transition and makes highlight plays on both ends of the floor, Buggs is one of the best-kept secrets in the state right now.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="865862" first="Noah" last="Compan"] - 2022 - La Crosse Central</p>
<p>One of those young players for La Crosse Central who's been waiting their turn. Compan is a 6-foot-5 wing that can space the floor, slash to the bucket, and has positional versatility on both ends. The athletic tools are there for Compan. Will be interested to see if his skills catch up over the next two years. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="994427" first="Cade" last="Faber"] - 2022 - Abbotsford </p>
<p>One of the players we’re most interested to watch. Haven’t seen Faber live yet, but on film, he definitely impresses. Bouncy wing with above the rim ability. Anticipates and plays the passing lanes very well, able to turn defense into offense. Averaged 17 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game last season. Has coast-to-coast ability in the open floor.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1036734" first="Hunter" last="Hardyman"] - 2022 - Darlington</p>
<p>A utility player with good positional size and plenty of athleticism, Hardyman does a number of things well on the floor. The 6-foot-4 wing is a very well-rounded player and stands out defensively. As a sophomore, Hardyman averaged just shy of five points per game for a very good and deep Darlington squad.</p>
<p><strong>Ryan Nixon - 2021 - East Troy</strong></p>
<p>Nixon was a role player for the Trojans last season and quietly averaged 13.0 points per game for a very good ball club. A second-team All-Conference pick as a junior, Nixon is on the verge of being ranked in the next update.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="994505" first="Angelo" last="Rizzo"] - 2021 - Janesville Craig</p>
<p>Rizzo is a very good Division 3 prospect. He's a legit 6-foot-4, shoots it well from mid-range, and has lockdown defensive ability. Rizzo is coming off a breakout junior season with the Cougars. A competitive guard who can score, defend, and make hustle plays, Rizzo can not only be the focal point of a team, but a glue guy who does the little things as well. </p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="994424" first="Jacob" last="Walczak"] - 2021 - Chippewa Falls</p>
<p>Walczak averaged 13.0 points and 5.2 rebounds as a junior for Chippewa Falls, who featured two other strong college prospects. A good athlete who can space the floor from the outside, attack the rim, and also finish around multiple defenders, Walczak can play inside and out as well as be a threat in transition.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="994423" first="Austin" last="Weis"] - 2021 - Cameron</p>
<p>Weis was a first-team all-conference pick as a junior. He averaged 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game last season. Rarely stagnant on the floor, Weis does a great job of rebounding on both ends of the floor. He shoots the ball at a high level, knocking down 49 triples for Cameron in 2019-20.</p>
