1. Jack Daugherty Jack Daugherty 6'8" | PF Brookfield Central | 2024 State #311 Nation WI (Brookfield Central)
Daugherty is weighing offers from Lehigh, Penn, Illinois State, Indiana State, Milwaukee, Richmond, St. Thomas, and more. The 6-foot-8 forward has not set any official visits at this point. Coming off a breakout junior season, Daugherty posted 18 points and eight rebounds per game. A skilled, versatile forward that can score inside and out and cause matchup problems, Daugherty is one of the best mid-major prospects regionally, if not nationally.
2. M.J. Stackhouse M.J. Stackhouse 6'7" | PF Kenosha Indian Trail | 2024 State WI (Kenosha Indiana Trail)
Leading KIT to a 20-7 record last season, Stackhouse put up 22 points and nine rebounds per game as a junior. The long, athletic forward is one of the best leapers and shot blockers in Wisconsin’s 2024 class. Stackhouse also features a budding face-up game where he can size defenders up and go to work from the 12-18 foot range.
3. Sam Mickelson Sam Mickelson 6'7" | PF Madison Memorial | 2024 State WI (Madison Memorial)
Mickelson averaged 15 points per game while playing alongside a Division 1 guard recruit. A good blend of versatility, floor spacing, and strength on the interior, Mickelson can get the job done with power or finesse. The 6-foot-7 forward said Southwest Minnesota State, Kentucky Wesleyan, UW-Lacrosse, and UW-Stevens Point were all involved with his recruitment.
4. Grant Warren Grant Warren 6'9" | PF Marathon | 2024 State WI (Marathon)
Warren listed Michigan Tech, UW-Stout UW-Oshkosh, UW-Parkside, UW-River Falls, and MSOE as the schools showing interest right now. A late bloomer with a big upside, Warren had a terrific summer. At 6-foot-8 with some added length and a versatile game, Warren has mismatch nightmare potential written all over him.
5. Jonathan O’Neill (Kaukauna)
O’Neill is one of the biggest upside recruits at the D2/D3 level. A long, athletic forward who can really move and be a disruptor on the defensive end, O’Neill is one of the state’s premier shot blockers. The 6-foot-9 senior is also adding to his skillset and starting to show promise as a 3-point shooter. Putting up 13 points and 12 rebounds per game last season, O’Neill is a true junkyard dog that can make his living with effort plays at both ends.
