Latrevion Fenderson Latrevion Fenderson 6'4" | SF The Prairie School | 2025 State WI – 2025 – SF – Wisconsin Playground Club
While he plays at the 15U level as a 2025 prospect, Fenderson is just 15 years old, which should make college programs excited. He’s a physical, but long and explosive athlete that’s started to really turn a corner this spring. Fenderson has also been used at the 17U level with PGC. A multi-dimensional prospect that’s almost positionless at 6-foot-5 and does a little bit of everything on the floor, Fenderson’s been one of the biggest risers in his class.
Henry Gruetzmacher Henry Gruetzmacher 6'8" | PF Brookfield Central | 2026 State WI – 2026 – F – 24:UP
A lot to like about this young forward/post prospect, who should make an impact for Brookfield Central in year two. Gruetzemacher might end up growing into a true power forward, but right now, appears to be a mismatch combo forward type. He can play inside or out, has some skills, footwork, and soft touch around the rim, and shows flashes out on the perimeter where he can blow by opposing forwards.
Micah Johnson – 2026 – G – Team 1848
Johnson was a contributor for Green Bay Southwest as a freshman. He appeared in 21 games, averaging 2.6 points per game. Made most of his noise as a perimeter catch-and-shoot threat. 17 of his 21 made field goals came from beyond the arc.
Josh Manchester Josh Manchester 6'4" | PG Mount Horeb | 2026 State WI – 2026 – SG – Wisconsin Playground Club
Manchester had a huge freshman season, averaging 17 points per game for a Mount Horeb squad that won 16 games last season. A deadly shooter with unlimited range, Manchester hit 53 triples. Manchester plays well beyond his years, doesn’t get rattled by pressure, and can really stay in a zone once he gets going offensively.
Isaiah Oliver Isaiah Oliver 6'0" | SG Middleton | 2026 State WI – 2026 – G – Wisconsin Playground Club
Solid all-around guard that can play the point or off the ball. Handles the ball really well against pressure and has that thing on a string. A little reserved as a scorer right now, but is finding his aggressiveness in time. Shows a lot of promise in the mid-range and is a little advanced physically right now to be able to brush off defenders and create space. The son of former Iowa star guard Dean Oliver, Isaiah played significant minutes for a very good Middleton squad as a freshman.
Andrew Jensen Andrew Jensen 6'9" | C Kaukauna | 2026 State WI – 2026 – F/C – All Wisconsin Ivory
Jensen has been making a name for himself on the prep hoops circuit. The 6-foot-8 big man has a nice all-around package in terms of his ability to shoot the ball from the outside, run the floor, and soft touch around the rim. Jensen will likely be a guy that just gets better and better with time and should push to be the top ranked forward prospect in this class if he’s not already.
J.J. Walters – 2026 – SG – Chapman Basketball Academy
Walters was one of our standouts at the Prep Hoops Freshman Showcase. He’s got good size at 6-foot-2 and shows a lot of promise with his blend of skill and outside shooting ability. Like his willingness to also take guys down into the paint, use that size, and score over the top.
