As we get underway with another exciting high school basketball season in Wisconsin, we have updated the Prep Hoops Player Rankings in the state. The <a href="https://prephoops.com/wisconsin/rankings/2025-rankings/">rankings released today for the class of 2025</a><a href="http://www.prephoops.com/wisconsin"> </a>are a good starting point for the players. Each player can now state their case to potentially move up in the revised Player Rankings in mid January. We have expanded the rankings from just over 200 players in 2025 to a Top 250. Each of those 250 players have accomplished plenty already on the hardwood, and each also looks forward to making another strong statement this winter. Several players made big jumps in the updated rankings. Below is a quick look at the eight players who made the biggest advancements among the top 100.    Previous Ranking: 46 New Ranking: 37 An exceptionally hard working player who never passes up the opportunity to improve, Napgezek is set for a big senior season for a very good Wausau East club. Coming off a strong club season with [program_tooltip program_id='2485560' first='G-Elite' last=''], the versatile wing prospect recently accepted a scholarship offer from the University of Mary, a NCAA Division II school. Napgezek's ability to get the ball in the basket, either from outside the three-point arc or off the dribble, will be major assets for the Lumberjacks as they battle stellar teams in the Wisconsin Valley Conference like Marshfield, Stevens Point and D.C. Everest.     Previous Ranking: 52 New Ranking: 40 A former homeschooled student, Henkel began attending Janesville Craig as a junior and has taken tremendous strides in his game over the past 12 months. He has great size, good strength and the ability to score near the basket, from the mid range and even out past the three-point line. Henkel had a good club season with the [program_tooltip program_id='2078835' first='Wisconsin' last='Swing'], and figures to be one of the top frontcourt players in the Big Eight this winter. Henkel owns scholarship offers from Mary (D2), Rockhurst (D2), Valley City State (NAIA), Jamestown (NAIA) and Southwest Minnesota State (D2).     Previous Ranking: 55 New Ranking: 46   Thompson is another player who rarely turns down an opportunity to compete. He loves the game, and is always working to improve his skills. At 6-foot-5, Thompson has good size for a backcourt prospect. He is very comfortable with the ball in his hands and can make plays form himself and his teammates. Thompson recently committed to NCAA Division III Eau Claire and is a key returning piece for a Kettle Moraine program hoping to make its third straight trip to the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament.     Previous Ranking: 57 New Ranking: 48 Steady improvement for a big man is not unusual as they tend to blossom a bit later than guards. Part of the reason for that is many haven't grown into their bodies during their early years of high school. Lubkeman fits into that mold as he has shown incremental advancement in his game during his three years of high school basketball at Westosha Central. He has increased his scoring, rebounding and blocked shot totals each season, and is coming off a junior campaign where he averaged 13.0 points and 7.2 rebounds. Lubkeman possesses a soft shooting touch and recently gave a commitment to Division 2 Parkside.     Previous Ranking: 96 New Ranking: 49 Basketball can be a finesse game, but it can also feature plenty of physicality. Bleisner can play either style, which makes him a valuable performer for the always-strong Homestead program. The Division 2 Michigan tech recruit has a nice shooting touch from the mid range, and he can also crash the boards and use his strength, athleticism and determination to score off of offensive rebounds. Bleisner is the consummate role player who embraces whatever is needed to help his team capture a victory.     Previous Ranking: 119 New Ranking: 52 Beesley's ability to play either guard spot of even the small forward position makes him an attractive prospect. His combination of size, strength and size are all major assets for a Waterford squad looking to challenge for the Southern Lakes Conference title. Beesley isn't a huge scorer, but he's a big impact player due to his toughness, passing and grit. He recently has earned scholarship offers from Bemidji State (D2), Hillsdale (D2), Wayne State in Michigan (D2) and Dakota State (NAIA).     Previous Ranking: 121 New Ranking: 78 College coaches always are on the hunt for big guys. After all, there's a limited number of good players with size. Cleary's strong play over the summer most definitely attracted the attention of collegiate coaches as he's become a recruiting focus for many of the state's better NCAA Division III programs. Cleary's length, skill and ability to run the court and battle for rebounds are all strengths. He is one of more improved players in the state's 2025 class and is a major reason why Lake Country Lutheran again is the team to beat in the Midwest Classic Conference.     Previous Ranking: 124 New Ranking: 86 A key returning player for a Verona team many expect to challenge for the top spot in the Big Eight Conference, Williams showed his dogged determination to play with vigor and purpose over the summer with the [program_tooltip program_id='2494181' first='Wisconsin' last='Dynasty'] program. His ability to put pressure on the ball in pressing situations often leads to turnovers and fast-break chances for his teammates. Williams averaged 14.0 points and 5.4 rebounds as a junior, and can play either guard position. His length and all-out hustle will be big assets for Verona this winter.
