No. 47 T.J. Adams T.J. Adams 6'2" | CG Marquette | 2024 State WI – Marquette
Previous: 57
Adams did what I thought he would do during his senior season — play solid basketball, hit big shots, and run the show offensively for Marquette. Part of a well-oiled machine for the Hilltoppers, Adams averaged 12 points and four assists per game. The 6-foot-1 guard shot 42.3 percent from 3-point range and had a combined 10 assists in Marquette’s two wins at the state tournament, including seven in the title game win over Arrowhead. Adams is headed to UW-La Crosse next season.
J.J. Douglas J.J. Douglas 6'6" | SF Janesville Parker | 2024 State WI – Janesville Parker
Previous: 64
A kid who would probably be ranked a lot higher if he wasn’t going to play football at Central Michigan, Douglas was one of the biggest forces in the Big Eight Conference this season. Putting together one of the biggest seasons nobody was talking about, Douglas put up 25 points and 16 rebounds per game as a senior. A strong, athletic, and high motor forward, Douglas has had two-straight seasons in which he’s averaged a double-double and three consecutive years in which he’s averaged 10 or more rebounds per game.
No. 55 Brandon Tilley Brandon Tilley 6'5" | SF Franklin | 2024 State WI – Franklin
Previous: 81
Tilley posted 17 points and seven rebounds per game for the Sabres this season. The UW-Stevens Point commit has some do-it-all and inside-out ability at 6-foot-5. Type of kid you can move around on the floor, ask to do different roles, and defend multiple positions.
Highlights
No. 68 Drew Tomaskeh – Ashwaubenon
Previous: 82
Thought Tomashek took some really good steps forward this season. Took him a while to grow into his body, and he probably still is, but now you’re seeing Tomashek be more comfortable as an attacker — not just a 3-point specialist. Leading the Jaguars to a 23-5 overall record, Tomashek averaged 19 points and five assists per game. The UW-La Crosse commit shot 47.6 percent from downtown, but as mentioned, looked a lot better inside the arc this season.
No. 75 Adam Loberger Adam Loberger 6'4" | SG Fox Valley Lutheran | 2024 State WI – Fox Valley Lutheran
Previous: 95
Loberger just kicks your butt and gets back on defense. A silent assassin, Loberger put up 23 points and eight rebounds per game as a senior, leading the Foxes to a 24-3 overall record. Loberger has good size and 6-foot-4. He displays a nice blend of strength and skill, able to beat defenders in a variety of ways. Type of prospect you can use to hunt shots off the ball or invert him in the offense and let him use his physicality near the rim. Shooting 52.4 percent from the field, Loberger knows how to generate a great look.
No. 85 Peton McKenna – Germantown
Previous: 106
McKenna helped engineer one of the biggest turnarounds in the state. Last season, Germantown was 10-15. This season? 19-8, which included a second place finish in the Greater Metro Conference. Mckenna averaged 10 points and three assists per game for a balanced lineup.
