He's a long and explosive athlete on the wing who can finish above the rim, or slash and score with touch off the glass. Doesn't shoot a ton of threes but is someone that has to be contested as he can connect when left open. Defensively he's a versatile piece who can switch onto most positions because of how well he moves at 6'5. Looking forward to seeing how he performs with the ball in his hands more this weekend.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"Eddie Vinson","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Racine St. Catherine's","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076404' first='Wisconsin' last='Elite']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Vinson saw the occasional varsity minutes for St. Cats as a freshman, which is an accomplishment for any player in such a storied program. That experience going up against talented players every time in practice could pay dividends now that he'll be back against his own age group. Running with [program_tooltip program_id='2076404' first='Wisconsin' last='Elite'], EJ is a shifty guard who can get to the rack and finish or extend his game to beyond the arc. Vinson has excellent body control around the rim with the ability to score through contact. Also brings that St. Cats toughness to the defensive end with his willingness to pressure the ball and pick up full court.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1598962"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Ethan is still a raw prospect, but with his size at 6'10, his development will be a story to watch. I saw him over the fall and he showed solid mobility at his size, as well as soft touch on his shot. Started to see some varsity minutes for a Neenah team that made state for D1 this past winter, but should see a lot more minutes running with All Wisconsin this spring. Looking forward to seeing what type of production he can bring to the floor in Appleton this weekend.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1142143"],"_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":"Prescott's versatile wing [player_tooltip player_id='1142143' first='Dallas' last='Wallin'] will be running with Northwest Elite, where he'll be able to showcase his all-around game. Seeing him this past winter he showed that he can do a bit of everything, as he's a major rebounding presence, can handle the ball in the open floor, facilitates from the perimeter and out of the block, and is a tough finisher inside. Has no problem stepping out and hitting threes either. Combine that all-around skillset with his size at 6'5, and he could have a very productive weekend.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1561925"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1561925' first='Andrew' last='Jensen'] has one of the highest ceilings in Wisconsin's 2026 class, as he's a mobile 6'9 big who's already a major shot blocking threat. He played good minutes as a freshman at Kaukauna, where he ran the floor hard for transition buckets and made an impact as a shot blocker and rebounder. After going up against talented size in both games and practices, Andrew could be set to dominate at the 15u level where most teams won't have the size to match up against him. Jensen could be in for a big weekend with All Wisconsin.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1203035"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1203035' first='Quinn' last='Burns'] is a big time shooter in the 2024 class. His role for Westosha Central only grew as the season went on, as he was a 40% shooter from 3P who could give his team an offensive spark in an instant. He's one of those players you can't afford to give an inch of space to, as he has a quick release and he's not afraid to let it fly from deep. Burns also does a nice job of attacking bad closeouts and finishing with a floater to get his shot up over size. Will be one of the go-to players for [program_tooltip program_id='2078838' first='World' last='Hoops Elite'] this spring/summer.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1561939"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"Ethan is a high potential prospect in the 2026 class who will be one to track over the next three years. He already played a key role on varsity for a strong Hortonville team, where he showcased his ability to get to the rim at 6'4-6'5. He has such a long frame, and is very crafty with how he finds ways to work his way to the rim and finish off of two feet. Joling has the ability to attack the basket from the wing, but can also catch out of the high post, face up, and get to the rim off one or two dribbles.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6423321e98541"} /-->
