Brandin Podziemski Brandin Podziemski 6'6" | SG Saint John's Northwestern Academy | 2021 State #232 Nation WI — 2021 — SJNMA
Seeing Podziemski evolve from good to great has been special to watch. It is clear that the SJNMA shooting guard has spent countless hours in the gym over the past couple of months. Through two games, Podziemski is averaging 36 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
Andrew Alia Andrew Alia 6'2" | SG Kenosha St. Joseph | 2022 State WI — 2022 — Kenosha St. Josephs
I thought that Alia did some really good things this summer while playing with Wisconsin Playground Club on the Prep Hoops Circuit. In Kenosha St. Josephs’ first game of the season, the 2022 shooting guard recorded 22 points on 8-13 shooting from the field. If he is able to keep on improving, then I believe that college programs will be all over Alia by the end of the season.
Luke Haertle Luke Haertle 6'2" | SG Lake Country Lutheran | 2022 State WI — 2022 — Lake Country Lutheran
Haertle has established himself as one of the most well-rounded prospects in the state. The Lake Country Lutheran shooting guard plays tough defense, scores the ball well, and is a great leader on the court. In his season debut, the SG dropped 23 points, including 11 made free throws.
Colin Hardrick Colin Hardrick 6'3" | CG Wauwatosa West | 2022 State WI — 2023 — Wauwatosa West
Hardrick’s terrific performances this week prove that he is an elite player in Wisconsin’s 2023 class. In three games, Hardrick tallied 88 points on 30 made shots from the field. Of course, Hardrick’s sophomore season is still very young. But, from what I have seen so far looks very impressive.
Jasin Sinani Jasin Sinani 6'3" | SG Oak Creek | 2021 State WI — 2021 — Oak Creek
Sinani is a prospect that just continues to look better and better. The shooting guard played really good basketball for Wisconsin Rap on the Prep Hoops Circuit. Now, he is helping his high school squad win games. In his first two games of the 2020-21 season, Sinani tallied 56 points. The UW-Milwaukee commit is a very dangerous scorer who is set up to find a lot of success as a senior.
Jackson Paveletzke Jackson Paveletzke 6'1" | CG Kimberly | 2022 State WI — 2022 — Kimberly
I really like Paveletzke’s game. The Kimberly shooting guard is a terrific shooter, passer, and scorer. In a blowout victory over Fon Du Lac, Paveletzke led his squad in scoring with 21 points. The SG holds an early scholarship offer from Toledo.
Andrew Rohde Andrew Rohde 6'6" | SG Brookfield Central | 2022 State WI — 2022 — Brookfield Central
I think Rohde is the perfect role player for a Brookfield Central team that is stacked with talent. The 2022 shooting guard is a knockdown shooter who can also use his long arms to defend multiple positions. In the 2020-21 season, I expect Rohde to be a big part of Brookfield Central’s success.
