No. 6 Josh Manchester Josh Manchester 6'4" | PG Mount Horeb | 2026 State WI – G – Mount Horeb
Manchester was a big reason why Mount Horeb had such a surprising year and slayed as many top teams as they did. As a freshman, Manchester averaged 17 points per game and made 53 3-pointers. A sniper with in the gym range, Manchester can get hot and stay hot throughout the course of the game. He’s going to bring more to the table than just shooting as well. The 6-foot-2 guard can play either guard spot, puts his body on the line, and has showcased some sneaky athletic ability when he attacks the rim.
No. 7 Andrew Jensen Andrew Jensen 6'9" | C Kaukauna | 2026 State WI – F/C – Kaukauna
Still a long ways to go, but Jensen has No. 1 type potential over the next three years. A long, athletic forward with a huge ceiling, Jensen is extremely intriguing at 6-foot-9. The way Jensen runs the floor and makes impact plays above the rim will have Division 1 schools drooling. Think it’ll be a matter of, will Jensen’s skills, hands, and basketball IQ catch up to his physical abilities? As a freshman, Jensen gave the Ghosts four points and four rebounds per game last season.
No. 8 Chris Pohl Chris Pohl 6'6" | PF Marshfield | 2026 State WI – F – Marshfield
Pohl played up in 16U, and not only held his own, but shined at times. In store for a breakout sophomore season, Pohl has the skills, size, versatility, and strength on the block to make a big jump. As a freshman, Pohl posted 6.2 points per game. At 6-foot-7, Pohl can play inside out. He’s got solid post footwork inside and can step away and shoot it from 3-point range consistently. Pohl also plays with a lot of heart and hustle, able to go the extra mile for his teammates.
No. 9 Jakari Smith Jakari Smith 6'4" | SG Bradley Tech | 2026 State WI – SG – Milwaukee Bradley Tech
A long, intriguing guard who already holds a couple of Division 1 offers, Smith has a chance to blossom into a special player. Smith averaged eight points per game as a freshman for Bradley Tech. Perhaps even more impressively, Smith pulled down nearly 10 rebounds per contest. With his blend of athleticism, length, and versatility, Smith could/should end up as a top five player in this class.
No. 10 Rashaad Davis Rashaad Davis 5'10" | PG Nicolet | 2026 State WI – G – Nicolet
Don’t let the size fool you, Davis can hoop. The 5-foot-9 guard is electric and can take over games scoring the basketball. Even saw Davis play up in 17U in May and make a big impact for Wisconsin Playground Club in what was an impromptu performance. Part of a 24-5 squad that reached the Division 2 state tournament, Davis started as a freshman and averaged 11 points and three assists per game next to the state’s top junior.
