Drew Daoust Drew Daoust 6'1" | PG Southern Door | 2025 State WI — PG — Wisconsin Crusaders
It seems as if Daoust gets better each time that he plays. I really love how versatile the Wisconsin Crusaders point guard is, particularly on the offensive end of the court. He is an efficient three-point shooter, solid in the midrange, effective at the rim, and excellent as a passer. In terms of skills on the offensive end, Daoust is the real deal. Expect college programs to take notice of Daoust’s talent this summer.
Quinn Burns Quinn Burns 5'9" | PG Westosha Central | 2024 State WI — PG — World Hoops Elite
So far this spring, Burns has proven himself as one of the best guards in Wisconsin. The point guard won’t wow with any of his physical attributes, Burns passes the eye test. He is an incredible shooter and passer. As a floor general, Burns is able to get his teammates involved while also scoring at a high level. He consistently makes smart basketball plays. Whatever the defense is giving, Burns is willing to take.
Cody Stapel Cody Stapel 6'4" | SG Howard Lake Waverly Winsted | 2025 State MN — SG — Minnesota Heat
Stapel proved that he was made for the big moment on Sunday morning. In a hard-fought victory for Minnesota Heat , Stapel hit big shot after big shot. With time winding down in overtime, Stapel hit a go-ahead three-pointer that eventually gave his team the win. With Stapel on the court, opposing defenders must be on their A-game. If not, the SG will tally buckets in a hurry.
Keegan Van Kauwenberg Keegan Van Kauwenberg 6'3" | CG Kaukauna | 2025 State WI — SG — Wisconsin Crusaders
If Van Kauwenberg continues to improve, the Wisconsin Crusaders shooting guard could develop into a great prospect at the college level. He is such an effective three-level scorer. He has good positional size, which he uses to elevate and score over smaller defenders. As a spot-up shooter, the SG is also very effective. He has a quick release and smooth form. I really liked what Van Kauwenberg was able to do this past weekend.
Mikail Harmison Mikail Harmison 6'0" | SF Appleton West | 2023 State WI — SG — Team 1848
While he is currently listed as a small forward. at the college level, I see Harmison as more of a two-guard. The Team 1848 prospect had a very productive weekend in Minnesota. He scored and defended at a very high level. If he finds himself in the right situation, I see Harmison being very impactful at the college level.
Michael Cooper Michael Cooper 6'6" | PF Robbinsdale Cooper | 2023 State MN — SG — Team Teague
Man, Cooper was really, really good this weekend. I knew that The Team Teague shooting guard was a very talented scorer. But I didn’t know that he was this good. It didn’t matter who attempted to guard Cooper in Minnesota, chances were the shooting guard was going to get a bucket. He scores so effortlessly from all three levels.
