<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> After watching four games last week a number of players that shined and their performances jumped out at me. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["981005"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eDanny Staskunas | 6'2u0022 | G | 2023u003c/strongu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eWith his future college coaches in attendance the prospect battled and displayed leadership throughout the contest. During the first frame he tallied 13 of his 15 points and the opponent was battling to stay close. He appears to be a volume shooter and was controlling the game in the first half, right when his team needed it. When watching this player, year in year out, you can expect a player that plays hard and makes very few mistakes. It will be fun watching him and his team for the rest of the season.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["980996"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='980996' first='Robert' last='Peters'] | 6'8u0022 | Wing | 2023 u003c/strongu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eThis prospect has his team preforming well and are enjoying a winning season in the early going this year. The improvement of the [player_tooltip player_id='980996' first='Robert' last='Peters'] really started to come out last year but has continued into this season. He has been displaying ball handling and shooting from outside occasionally. During the game I viewed it started out rough with Roberts scoring 6 points and collecting 3 early fouls. When it came crunch time, though, during the second half, the prospect posted up and dictated stretches of the game with 8 plus points. He finished with 17 points and the game went down to the final seconds. As the rest of his senior campaign unfolds his combination of inside and outside play will keep his competitors of balance and his team in most games.u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"Leondre Hays ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"Nathan Hale | West Allis ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"N/A ","_player_evaluations_2_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_2_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_2_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cbu003eLeondre Hays | 6'0u0022 | 2024u003c/bu003ernrnu003cspan style=u0022font-weight: 400u0022u003eDuring the highly competitive game that was Hale vs Tosa West, Hale needed a next man up mentality. It was Leondre Hays' turn to be that and he made the most of his opportunity. During the first half he hit a single 3-pointer but during the second half, when the game was going back u0026amp; forth, he hit three straight jumpers. This kept the opponent battling, his team on the edge of victory, and not until the closing moments was the game decided. If he can build on this performance and the confidence it must have given him, he might be a senior to know next season. u003c/spanu003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1240335"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003e[player_tooltip player_id='1240335' first='Kai' last='Rogers'] | 6'10u0022 | Wauwatosa Westu003c/strongu003ernrnMentioning [player_tooltip player_id='1240335' first='Kai' last='Rogers'] performances is becoming a regular thing each week. The growth is evident through an exciting dunk, improved footwork, rim protection, or maybe the jump shot. He played twice this week and posted very solid numbers. The first game, against Nathan Hale, saw Rogers hit the last second game winner with a stat line of 14 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks. The second game was a dominant team win for Wauwatosa West and his stat line of 19 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists. One of the most impressive things that jump out at me this season, besides all of the other improvements, is the prospect's excellence passing ability and wiliness to do so. It is just one of the remarkable things that make this player number one in the class of 2025.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"JT Kaul ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024 ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Beaver Dam ","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eJT Kaul | 6'0u0022 | G | 2024 | Beaver Damu003c/strongu003ernrnIn his team's game against Waunakee the junior guard came out firing on all cylinders. The Golden Beavers jumped on the opponent by hitting three 3-pointers, a pull up jumper, then back to the parameter to nail a timely 3 pointer. This was all in the first frame of the game and they went to the break with a very solid lead. After the explosion of 14 points in the first half the number of shots was cooled in the second, but he did post another 3-pointer for a total five for the game and finished with 19. What was unique in the game, for this performance, was he brought the activity on both ends of the floor. With this type of shooting display, we should all check back often to view any of the ongoing development of this prospect.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1240337"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eJake Hansen | 6'1u0022 | Wauwatosa Westu003c/strongu003ernrnThis prospect is rising up the rankings list fast, maybe faster than any other prospect in the class of 2025. With performances of the likes of what he had this past week it is easy to see why. With his team winning both games he posted stats lines of 13 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, in the first game. In the second game he posted 19 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals. It looks as though this prospect has gotten his shot going this season and has added several layers to his game too. I have seen a pull up jumper to the baseline, a strong ability to go towards the hoop, and as the numbers suggest more activity in assist u0026amp; rebounding.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63bbc15f2d25f"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Quick Hitters of Under Classmen</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Laquan Beeks 5'8" G 2026 of Menomonee Falls tallied 16pts</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robert Green 5'6" G 2026 of Menomonee Falls tallied 17 points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Corey Johnson 5'11" G 2025 of Menomonee Falls had a sweet looking jumper and posted 23 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
