Keaton Frisch Keaton Frisch 6'7" | SF Waunakee | 2024 State WI — SF — Waunakee
Frisch exploded onto the scene last spring/summer. Now, the small forward is looking to solidify himself as one of the best prospects in the state. The Waunakee standout is able to impact the game positively on both ends of the court. On the defensive end of the court, Frisch uses his size and length to block shots and protect the paint at a high level. Offensively, Frisch is a budding talent who has shown plenty of promise. If he continues to improve, he could develop into a great player at the college level.
Dallas Wallin Dallas Wallin 6'3" | SF Prescott | 2024 State WI — SF — Prescott
I love how Wallin always seems to find ways to improve. The Prescott small forward was a good player last year. But this spring, he has taken his game to another level. Wallin is an awesome scorer and rebounder. He uses his positional size to bully opposing defenders in the paint. He also possesses great footwork in the paint. He uses pump fakes and pivots to get defenders off balance. Overall, I really love Wallin’s game and can’t wait to watch him this summer.
Jonathan O’Neill — PF — Kaukauna
O’Neill has shown plenty of promise recently. The Kaukauna power forward is capable of scoring with his back to the basket, but that isn’t what stands out the most when looking at O’Neill’s game. The PF is a dominant rebounder and excellent rim protector. He does a great job of using his 6-foot-9 frame to block shots and snag contested rebounds. College programs should keep an eye on O’Neill moving forward.
Logan Rindfleisch Logan Rindfleisch 6'5" | SF Wisconsin Lutheran | 2024 State WI — SF — Wisconsin Lutheran
Because Wisconsin Lutheran was loaded with plenty of high-end talent last winter, Rindfleisch didn’t have many opportunities to shine. But now that Lutheran has lost a couple of seniors due to graduation, Rindfleisch should be able to succeed on a very good team. The small forward is a versatile scorer and defender. He also rebounds well and is underrated as a passer. I expect the small forward to be a breakout prospect this winter.
Avery Houden Avery Houden 6'5" | SF Middleton | 2024 State WI — SF — Middleton
After watching Houden play in a couple of showcases and tournaments, I can’t believe that the small forward isn’t ranked higher. The 6-foot-5 small forward is athletic and skilled. He blocks shots, rebounds extremely well, and scores opportunistically. If Houden continues to improve his outside shot, I think he could be a scary good player. Houden’s frame and athleticism allow him to defend multiple positions while also impacting shots around the rim.
Theo Schofield Theo Schofield 6'5" | PF Waterloo | 2024 State WI — SF — Sun Prairie
Schofield is a really, really good basketball player. The Sun Prairie small forward stands at 6-foot-5 and is a physical force in the post. With his back to the basket, Schofield is a really tough matchup for defenders. Recently, the SF has also demonstrated improvement as a shooter. He has proven himself as an effective floor spacer. I think that Schofield has a ton of potential. If he continues to work on his game, the sky is the limit.
