State
#126
Nation
WI
– Pewaukee:
On maybe the best team in the state, Janowski will be splitting touches with high-level college talent. But make no mistake, this is a future high-major player with an offensive niche. The lefty can tear up a defense on the perimeter. He’s got a smooth stroke, even on pull-up looks. He’s perimeter-oriented but can use IQ and pump-fakes to create for himself against bigger players.

WI
– Waunakee:
Fernholz ran with Wisconsin Academy this summer, making several appearances on the PHCircuit. Our scouts watched his team dozens of times, and he remained consistent and unfazed every game. His jumper lit a fire around the region, as he torched teams with the three-ball. Inside the arc, much of his game consists of getting teammates involved and keeping the offense flowing, but when he’s in a scoring trance, he makes the game look easy with skilled finishes and high efficiency. Against Meanstreets, one of the region’s top teams across all ages, Fernholz had some of his best moments, proving he can dominate against elite competition.

WI
– Sun Prairie:
Not one to play passive, Schofield showed his active scoring style and high potential this summer with Wisconsin Academy. At 6’5”, he’s already developed a nice frame for the forward spot, his most effective position. What I liked most was his raw, diverse scoring style. It’s not often that power forwards can comfortably take and make mid-range fadeaways, but that is one of his better moves. And at his best, he could drive and score in isolation off the dribble.

Dominican | 2024
State
WI
– Dominican:
As a freshman debuting in a consistently high-caliber conference, Johnson averaged 11.2 points per game, the second-most on the team. The shooting guard was incredibly active from deep, shooting 154 triples at a 36 percent clip. He had some inconsistent scoring stretches on the stat sheet, but that’s common for young guards. The better news is that he finished strong, averaging 15.5 points per game in his final six games.
Pierce Arenz

Kiel | 2024
State
WI
– Kiel:
A crafty lefty with a year of varsity experience in the books. Arenz averaged 13.2 points a night with a balanced barrage of threes and takes to the rim. He’s young but looked ahead of his peers from a talent and polish perspective. Can finish well around the hoop, using his touch and IQ. He’s got a solid three-point jumper with a high release, and he was comfortable enough to take 172 attempts from downtown.

6'3" | CG
West Salem | 2024
State
WI
– Sparta:
A primarily two-way player due to his frame, defensive instinct, and ability to close gaps. But he still deserves props for his offensive game, which is subtle but effective. He is a natural transition player, able to outlet quickly and finish contested, difficult looks. At 6’3”, he poses serious attacking threats as a wing, where he can outsize his defender. His entire prospect portfolio is very strong at this stage, and his paint scoring is one of his strong suits.
