Daniel Bedaso Daniel Bedaso 6'5" | SG Madison La Follete | 2024 WI — SF — Wisconsin Academy
You won’t see many prospects more impactful than Bedaso is on both ends of the court. The small forward pairs athleticism and skill with a 6-foot-6 frame. I really like how physical Bedaso plays. The SF certainly isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body for the team. I really like the energy that the Wisconsin Academy prospect plays with. Regardless of the situation, Bedaso will play at 100 percent. Bedaso certainly embodies a GameChanger.
Fitz Freeman Fitz Freeman 6'6" | C Robbinsdale Armstrong | 2024 State MN — PF — Minnesota Chill
I don’t think it will be long until Freeman starts to attract attention from college programs. The 6-foot-5 power forward is capable of dominating in the paint. Using his size, Freeman does a really good job of imposing his will on opposing players. Helping lead Minnesota Chill to a 3-1 record in Appleton, Freeman did a lot to boost his stock. I look forward to watching him play in the future.
Will Brands Will Brands 6'4" | PF Totino-Grace | 2024 State MN — SF — Minnesota Rush
If Brands doesn’t qualify as a GameChanger, then I don’t know who would. A couple of times in Appleton, Brands was able to flip a switch and dominate. Using his positional size and athletic ability, Brands made many impressive plays. Minnesota Rush was able to walk away with a 4-0 record on the weekend. The play of Brand is a major reason why Rush found so much success.
Molley Komara — SF — Minnesota Chill
Attention college coaches: Minnesota Chill’s Komara is still on the board. The 6-foot-7 small forward had a great weekend in Appleton. When Komara is aggressive and trying to score, there aren’t many defenders that can slow him down. Using his rare combination of skill, size, and touch, the SF is able to score on the block with ease. At the college level, Komara can certainly help a team win games.
Sawyer Schipper Sawyer Schipper 6'1" | SG Stoughton | 2024 State WI — SG — Wisconsin Academy
Schipper showed flashes of greatness at Madness In The Midwest. The Wisconsin Academy shooting guard does many small things at a high level. He is a crafty passer, tough defender, and creative scorer. When Schipper attacks the rim, he is an effective slasher who can convert on some difficult layups. I really liked what Schipper was able to do this weekend.
Rocco Richie Rocco Richie 6'0" | SG Mt. Horeb | 2023 WI — SG — RIT Elite
Richie is an unsigned 2023 prospect who college coaches should have on their radar. The Rit Elite shooting guard is an efficient three level scorer and plus defender. He has good positional size, which he uses to find success on both ends of the court. As a role player at the college level, Richie could be excellent. He makes outside shots, plays great defense, and is a willing passer.
Alvin Jones Jr. — CG — Minnesota Chill
I love the effort and intensity that Jones plays with. When the Minnesota Chill combo guard laces up his shoes to play, he doesn’t waste opportunities. Jones — an unsigned senior — certainly turned heads in Appleton. He played both ends of the floor, helping his team to a very successful weekend.
