The long awaited first step of producing a 2026 class ranking for the state of Wisconsin is now published. Below is the top thirty on the watch list, in all just over 50 players have been added. The class, at least in the early stages, is loaded with very solid talent with both bigs and high performing guards. Of course, like most early class list, it is the guards that make the first impression when you walk into a gym, but this group has a good balance between guards and bigs. Where the talent will end up no one can predict development but the below is a start in that direction.
When creating lists of this nature, or a rankings list for that matter, you the reader should know, especially early on, that these lists should be considered almost like a living breathing document that will change often. What is needed to nail these down further is time and play of the prospects. It’s a process not a destination to get on.
How the Watch List was determined = 1) current production 2) varsity minutes 3) college projection 4) size, maturity, athleticism. (When ranks are published 5) grades 6) outside influence, will be added to consideration)
I have personally viewed most of the prospects but also relied on scouts, evaluators, coaches from across the state and organizations. If you want to be under consideration for your name or player to be added please send updates to Twitter DMs.
