Prep Hoops Circuit: Top Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which prospects separated themselves from the pack during the spring evaluation period? </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>John Clemmons -- SG -- NEBC Basketball</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clemmons has put up monster numbers this spring. In a game at Prep Hoops Live at the end of April, the shooting guard put up 37 points on great shooting numbers! The NEBC Basketball standout stands at 6-foot-5 and is a true scoring machine. He combines positional size with pure skill and talent. He can catch fire from beyond the arc in a hurry and is more than capable of getting downhill and getting buckets at the cup. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dallas Wallin -- SF -- Northwest Elite </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I really like Wallin as a college prospect and I believe it is only a matter of time until top schools begin to reach out. The Northwest Elite small forward is a two-way prospect. Offensively, he can score on the block or from the perimeter. He does a nice job of putting the ball on the floor and then scoring. On the defensive end, Wallin has great size and strength. He uses these physical attributes to his advantage. Wallin's ability to impact the game on both ends makes him a standout prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Andre' Austin -- PG -- Pack </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Austin is one of the best prospects from the Dakotas. The point guard has been dominating on the Prep Hoops Circuit for a couple of years now. The point guard's ability to make the right basketball play is very underrated. When Austin has the ball in his hands, good things often happen for his team. He passes, scores, and defends at a high level. I really think that the Pack PG could develop into a star at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keegan Van Kauweberg -- SG -- Wisconsin Crusaders </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Van Kauwenberg is one of the more intriguing and interesting prospects in Wisconsin's 2025 class. The Wisconsin Crusaders shooting guard is a pure scorer and shooter. Regardless of who is defending him, the SG is capable of getting buckets. He has a quick pull-up jumper, which allows him to get his shot off before his defender can contest. I thought that the SG also showed improvements as a slasher. He takes contact much better around the rim and is able to effectively collapse the opposing team's defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1760312' first='Riley' last='Johnson'] -- SG -- Northstar Titans </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson was no doubt one of the best shooters playing on the Prep Hoops Circuit this spring. The Northstar Titans standout is very consistent, too. Some shooters let poor shooting performances negatively impact their game. With Johnson, this could not be further from the truth. He always has his fingerprints on the game. He can pass well and is capable of locking down on defense if necessary. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1595734' first='JJ' last='Semanko'] -- SF -- Minnesota Lockdown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Semank has proven himself to be the real deal. I don't think that there is anything that the Minnesota Lockdown small forward isn't capable of doing on the basketball court. He scores well from all three levels, passes to open teammates, and is a great defender. Semanko had a couple of awesome performances this spring and I look forward to seeing how he plays in the summer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
