Davion Hannah Davion Hannah 6'5" | SF Nicolet | 2025 State #33 Nation WI — SF — Nicolet
Recently awarded the top spot in Prep Hoops Wisconsin’s 2025 class rankings, Hannah has no doubt proven himself as the cream of the crop. The Nicolet small forward is an athletic, smart, and skilled prospect. He scores an a high level and is also capable of locking down ballhandlers on the perimeter. At the college level, Hannah will be a problem.
Xzavion Mitchell Xzavion Mitchell 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2025 State #119 Nation WI — SF — Oshkosh North
A physical, strong, and athletic prospect, Mitchell dominated the competition this winter. Using his 6-foot-6 frame to rebound and score, Mitchell is a true mismatch nightmare. He is too quick and athletic for bigger defenders on the perimeter, yet also too strong and powerful for smaller players around the hoop. Recently committed to Iowa State, I am expecting Mitchell to play this spring like he has a point to prove.
Aaron Womack Aaron Womack 6'3" | SF Dominican | 2025 State #228 Nation WI — SF — Dominican
Womack no doubt has one of the highest ceiling of any prospect on this list. The Dominican small forward possesses all of the tools you would want to see in a high major prospect. Womack is long, athletic, has three-point shooting ability, can create his own shot, and does an excellent job defensively. On the heels of a great high school season, Womack is a name that college coaches should be familiar with moving forward.
Latrevion Fenderson Latrevion Fenderson 6'4" | SF The Prairie School | 2025 State WI — SF — The Prairie School
One of the best pure scorers in the state, Fenderson is a nightmare for defenders. It seems like every time the small forward laces up his sneakers, he puts up impressive scoring numbers. Able to use his combination of size, skill, and determination, when Fenderson decides to go get a bucket, there are not many defenders who can stop him.
Trevor Polite Trevor Polite 6'6" | SF Homestead | 2025 State WI — SF — Homestead
One of my favorite players to watch in the state right now is Homestead’s Polite. The lanky small forward does so many things on the court that impact winning. He rebounds at a high level, defends the interior and perimeter, scores when asked to, and also has developed into a capable passer.
Andrew Rader Andrew Rader 6'10" | PF Notre Dame Academy | 2025 State WI — PF — Notre Dame Academy
I still don’t think that Rader has come anywhere near reaching his full potential as a prospect, which should be a very scary fact for opposing Wisconsin forwards. The 6-foot-10 prospect out of Notre Dame Academy is a fluid athlete who runs the floor really well. Rader does also possess several skills that you would typically only see in smaller prospects. He is an improving three-point shooter and capable ball handler.
Amare Jackson Amare Jackson 6'4" | SF Milwaukee Academy of Science | 2025 State WI — SF — Milwaukee Academy of Science
Jackson has next. The Milwaukee Academy of Science small forward is a gritty, tough, physical, and skilled prospect who just flat out gets the job done on the court. As he improves, I look for Jackson to become a hub for offense. He is a gifted passer and slick slasher. With the ball in his hands, Jackson makes the right decisions.
Ayden Phillips Ayden Phillips 6'7" | PF Almond-Bancroft | 2025 State WI — PF — Almond-Bancroft
A walking double-double on the court, Phillips almost always produces. Even when he isn’t playing his best basketball, the power forward still puts up big numbers and contributes to winning. I am really looking forward to watching Phillips compete this spring and believe in his potential.
