Amari Allen Amari Allen 6'7" | SG IMG Academy | 2025 State #53 Nation FL – 2025 – SF – IMG Academy
Allen is a top 50 prospect nationally for a reason. The 6-foot-7 forward is a big, strong ball-dominant prospect and when he want to get to the rim, good luck keeping him off it. When Allen gets the rock in transition, in isolation, or in the pick n’ roll, good things usually happen. Could be more consistent as a jump shooter, but Allen will knock down his fair share. Love the touch in the lane as well. Allen can finish at top end speed and makes it look easy with how he’s able to just float the ball in offf-balance. Think he’s pretty comparable to a Jaemyn Brakefield as a big-bodied forward, who can play the point, and mix it up from the outside.
Stevie Clark Stevie Clark 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2024 State #322 Nation WI – 2024 – SF – Oshkosh North
I like Clark as a halfcourt scorer at the next level, but he’s always been a guy who can hang with the uptempo athletes. In an open floor setting on Thursday, Clark didn’t just sit back and watch the action — he made things happen. Whether it was transition 3’s or dunks, Clark scored at a high rate, including a few poster dunks that got the guys excited. A very strong mid-major prospect, Clark is a true three-level scorer who can create matchup problems even at 6-6. You can put him on the block, run him off screens, or let him go in isolation. Improving his value for the next level, Clark has clearly added some explosiveness over the last year. He nows plays above the rim with ease and has some added blow-by ability on the ball when he opts to slash. Pair that with his alpha mentality as a scorer, Clark has a chance to be “the guy” at the next level.
Highlights
Chris Davis Jr. – 2025 – W – Sun Prairie West
The 2025 class is very competitive. This is a guy that’s trending in the right direction and is one of the most improved players in that group. Davis is playing with supreme confidence and doing a lot of good things offensively. He’s got a good blend of strength and athleticism as a slasher, using a quick first step and power to finish at the rim. Davis’ outside shot has come such a long way as well. He has no problem letting it fly early in possessions or going isolation and creating with a step-back. There’s some sneaky athleticism here too. Saw Davis really attack the rim hard as an offensive rebounder and put home misses above the rim. He’s been on the rise for the past several months and I don’t think it’s done.
Jaleel Donley Jaleel Donley 6'1" | PG Benilde-St. Margaret's | 2025 State MN – 2025 – G – Benilde St. Margaret’s
Thought Donley helped himself a lot in front of Wisconsin’s staff on Thursday. He’s a guy they knew about going in, but Donley had arguably the best morning session out of any prospect on hand. The playmaking and electrifying handles really stand out for this 6-foot-3 guard. When Donley attacks, he can leave people in the dust and has a deadly fake dribble pick-up. Donley sees the floor at a very high level and makes passes you don’t expect. He was setting up his teammates for rhythm jumpers and easy layups throughout the day. Generally, camp settings are about players getting theirs. Thought Donley had the right mindset — win games and make the right basketball plays.
Latrevion Fenderson Latrevion Fenderson 6'4" | SF The Prairie School | 2025 State WI – 2025 – SF – The Prairie School
It’s all starting for Fenderson, who’s had a big AAU season thus far. Wisconsin offered the 16-year-old on Thursday and Fenderson plans to reclassify back to 2026. A strong, physical, and explosive wing, Fenderson was all over the rim at camp. The 6-foot-4 sophomore scored without using a ton of dribbles, just ripping and getting right to the rack. Fenderson shot it better than I recall him doing in the past as well. His pull-up game was on point throughout camp. With the way Fenderson was attacking, defenders starting giving him an extra step or two and he took advantage over the top.
Highlights
Cole Hansen Cole Hansen 6'4" | SG Legacy Early College | 2024 State SC – 2024 – SG – Legacy Early College
Saw some of the best spurts I’d ever seen from Hansen. He’s always been a quality shot maker that knows where his spots are on the fire. Have seen him shoot it consistently when he’s in rhythm, but not as much when defenders make him uncomfortable. On Thursday, Hansen was able to hit in the mid-range on a series of tough, off-balance, contested jumpers, where as a defender, you just tip your cap and head to the other end of the floor.
Dooney Johnson – 2027 – SF
Haven’t seen much of the 2027 class, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better player in Wisconsin right now than Johnson. Have seen a lot of talented, future NBA players come to this camp as incoming freshmen. Would venture to say that Johnson had as good of a day as any of them. The first thing that stood out — Johnson wanted all the smoke. Didn’t matter who he was going against…Johnson did not back down and his competitiveness got under a lot of guys skin. You look at Johnson and think he’s going to be very reliant on his athleticism. While he is very intriguing, Johnson’s got skill and shot making ability — and a lot of it. Was very impressed with how well he shot the ball and created space with a step back for such a young player.
Davis Kern Davis Kern 6'8" | PF Linn-Mar | 2025 State #244 Nation IA – 2025 – F – Linn-Mar
One of the top players in Iowa’s 2025 class, Kern brings a lot to the table. He’s a skilled, versatile post prospect that can score inside or out. Might not overwhelm you athletically, but Kern moves very well and has a high IQ on the floor. Like guys who know who they are and understand how they’re going to be successful. Kern isn’t overly flashy, he plays to his strengths, and finds the right play for whatever matchup is in front of him. Kern showed some really good stuff on the block, including fluid footwork and finishing with touch. He’s also going to make defenders uncomfortable and pull them away from the rim with his consistent 3-point stroke as well. There’s some intriguing defensive versatility here as well. Kern is a guy that can switch onto a guard and hold his own when they try and dance in isolation.
Zach Kinziger Zach Kinziger 6'3" | SG De Pere | 2025 State #127 Nation WI – 2025 – SG – De Pere
Kinziger picked up an offer from the Badgers after his performance. After a slow start, though the De Pere sniper really bounced back well and overcame some shooting woes. A prospect that just gets the game of basketball, Kinziger has a ton of tools to be a lethal scoring threat at the next level. He’s very cognizant of how he’s being defended. You put a hand down, you trail on a screen, you try and jump through a screen — whatever it is — Kinziger will immediately and seamlessly get to his counter. But Kinziger is so much more than a scorer. He’s got that blue collar mentality defensively. He’ll be the first on the floor for a loose ball and he takes pride in stopping his man on the defensive end.
Josh Manchester Josh Manchester 6'4" | PG Mount Horeb | 2026 State WI – 2026 – SG – Mount Horeb
Quietly, Manchester had one of the better days. His game isn’t overly loud, but Manchester is effective. The freshman guard shot the ball at a high level from 3-point range and knocked down some very extended looks as well. Manchester did turn some heads with his sneaky athleticism in transition. A good all-around athlete that plays mistake-free basketball and has some grit to him, Manchester is a top 10 prospect in Wisconsin’s 2026 class right now. He’s coming off a huge first season at Mount Horeb. Already around 6-3/6-4, Manchester has a chance to be a high value prospect.
Ross Robertson – 2025 – PF – South Beloit
Coming up from Illinois, Robertson definitely made an impact on his team. A skilled, mobile big man with excellent post footwork, Robertson flashed quite a bit on Thursday. At 6-foot-9, Robertson was very effective with his back to the basket. Thought he looked very refined when he got the ball 1-on-1 on the block. He was also consistent as a rebounder and rim protector defensively. Took some outside shots, but that’s probably not going to be a big part of his game at the next level. Robertson can handle the rock though and do a little bit in transition or away from the rim.
Highlights
T.J. Stuttley T.J. Stuttley 6'3" | SG Onalaska | 2025 #246 Nation MO – 2025 – G/W – Link Academy
The former Onlaska product was playing some of his best ball in quite a while. Suffering a broken arm prior to his sophomore season, Stuttley had lost quite a bit of momentum. Felt like he was back to his old self on Thursday. He’s a highly intriguing player because of his size and uniqueness as a 6-foot-5 point wing. Terrific pull-up game in the mid-range. Can post up smaller players and score through or over people. When Stuttley catches on the block, he’s going right through your chest more often than not and seeks out contact. He’s a guy who can live at the foul line. Defensively, he’s got a lot of versatility as well.
