Friday Night: 10 Prospects To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ten prospects to watch on Friday night:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1193234' first='Will' last='Hornseth'] -- PF -- De Pere</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hornseth has played excellent basketball this season. The De Pere power forward is a talented scorer, great rebounder, and above average defender. College programs should certainly make Hornseth a priority. De Pere travels to Ashwaubenon on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1289064' first='Elijah' last='Griffin'] -- PG -- Westosha Central</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really like the development that Griffin has made in his game recently. The point guard has shown a lot of improvements. He is a clever scorer and dangerous passer. With the ball in his hands, Griffin is capable of doing a lot of great things. Griffin will look to lead Westosha Central to another win on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1142523' first='Jaiye' last='Famakinwa'] -- PG -- Grafton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to see Famakinwa play a couple of time this past AAU season. I was very impressed with the point guard's play. Certainly not the biggest guy on the court, Famakinwa makes up for his lack of size with heart, hustle, and skill. He is a gritty defender and capable scorer. This season, he is averaging over ten points per game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1240335' first='Kai' last='Rogers'] -- C -- Wauwatosa West </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This season, Rogers is showing why he is ranked as the top prospect in Wisconsin's 2025 class. Averaging near a double-double, the center has played great basketball. I love how Rogers uses his size to dominate in the paint on both ends of the court. Already being heavily recruited by many top college programs, expect the center to gain some national attention in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maurice Gibbs -- G -- Pius XI</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pius XI is one of the better squads in the state. A big reason for Pius XI's success has been the play of Gibbs. The guard is scoring over ten points per game, proving himself to be a tough shot maker. Gibbs is often the x-factor for his team. If he plays well, Pius XI has a great chance at victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1435902' first='Trevor' last='Polite'] -- SF -- Homestead</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Polite's improvement continues to impress me. The Homestead small forward can step outside and drain shots, finish inside, and is also a very solid defender. Polite recently drained a deep three as time expired to help Homestead beat Milwaukee Academy of Science. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1487430' first='Jaden' last='Guyton'] -- PG -- Whitefish Bay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Guyton got off to a hot start early in this season and didn't look back. In terms of pure scorers, it doesn't get much better than Guyton at the high school level. He is averaging 25.1 points per game on 48 percent shooting. Whitefish Bay will play Nicolet on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1481178' first='Cooper' last='Jesperson'] -- SG -- Eau Claire Memorial </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ranked just outside of the top ten in Wisconsin's 2025 class, Jesperson has proven to be one of the better prospects in the state. The Eau Claire Memorial product is a tremendous shooter from deep. This season, he is shooting 35 percent from three-point range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1089684' first='Stevie' last='Clark'] -- SF -- Oshkosh North</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love everything about Clark's game. The Oshkosh North small forward is a dangerous scorer from all three levels. On Friday night, O-North will take on Neenah. The winner of this game will likely be in the driver's seat in the Fox Valley Association. Look for Clark to have a big game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1043750' first='Jamariea' last='Dalton'] -- SG -- Fon Du Lac</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A tremendous slasher and scorer, Dalton recently eclipsed 1,000 points in his high school career. Fon Du Lac has played great basketball this year led by Dalton. The SG will look to help his squad to another win on Friday night when the Cardinals take on Kaukauna. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
