<p class="text-gray-700">The left-handed shooting guard is a physically strong class of 2028 prospect who embraced big moments for the Lightning in their victories over Brookfield Central and Eau Claire Memorial. He made a bunch of three-point baskets, but was also able to use his strength and basketball instincts to score off cuts to the basket. Rosplochowski came off the bench to drill three triples in the victory over Brookfield Central, and followed that up with 19 points in a reserve role in the win over Eau Claire Memorial. Rosplochowski had three more triples against the Old Abes while also getting to the foul line.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A big forward who can score around the basket, Nfor earned varsity minutes in both of Brookfield Central's contests at the WBY Shootout. He had four points in the 78-63 loss to Appleton North, and also saw action in the Lancers' loss to Sheboygan North. Nfor is a physical presence and appears to have a bright future as he learns and understands coach Dan Wandrey's system. Nfor is one of three freshmen on the varsity roster along with [player_tooltip player_id='2570804' first='Kellan' last='Larkin'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2641638' first='Sam' last='Coraggio'].</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Henkel got plenty of run for a very good Freedom squad during the two games the Irish played at the WBY Shootout. He had seven points and drilled a three in a win over Catholic Memorial before scoring one field goal in a loss to Slinger. Henkel has played in every game for the 8-1 Irish, coming off the bench to averaged 3.4 ppg and 2.4 rpg as a key performer in the Freedom backcourt.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">With usual starter [player_tooltip player_id='2398517' first='Jonah' last='Roehrig'] missing two games at the WBY Shootout while in concussion protocol, coach Mike Schalow of Kaukauna called on Schwalbach to move into the starting lineup to replace Roehrig. Schwalbach responded with a very good outing in the Ghosts' win over Homestead, scoring four points while also handling and moving the ball well on offense. Schwalbach also performed with poise and skill in the 59-56 loss to Whitnall. He had a three-point basket and seven points in that contest. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Regarded as one of the top class of 2028 prospects in the state, Evans started and scored 12 points for Living Word Lutheran in its 80-63 victory over Milwaukee Reagan. A rangy lead guard with a good feel for the game and plenty of basketball experience already under his belt, Evans is particularly effective driving to the basket and finishing or earning trips to the foul line. Evans and 2028 teammate [player_tooltip player_id='2708437' first='Caleb' last='Roethel'] combine to give coach Jake Holton two key pieces for the Timberwolves' lineup the next three-plus seasons. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Collins is a long wing forward who will need to add weight and strength to his frame over the next three years. That is a likely scenario for the skilled prospect, who played key minutes for coach Aaron Spiering off the bench in both of Milwaukee Juneau's games at the WBY Shootout. Collins tossed in five points and a triple in the loss to Dominican, and then played but failed to score in a low-scoring setback to Marquette. On the season, Collins is averaging 3.0 ppg and 2.5 rpg for the Pioneers.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kohnen's game closely resembles that of his older brother, sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='2351190' first='Jack' last='Kohnen']. Although Joey is two inches shorter than Jack, Joey's skill level and feel for the game mirrors that of Jack. Joey was aggressive and productive in Slinger's win over Freedom, scoring 15 points and sinking three shots from outside the three-point arc. He also had five rebounds and two assists in the 71-49 victory. On the season, Joey is averaging 9.9 ppg and 4.7 rpg for the 8-1 Owls.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Not many players Wassil's age play with the poise, instincts and overall impact he displays on a nightly basis. Whether diving for a loose ball, making a big deflection on defense, or scoring with a nice move to the hoop, Wassil was impressive in The Prairie School's win over Kettle Moraine Lutheran. Wassil finished the contest with nine points, but it was his overall impact on the contest that was most impressive.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Kinston's game resembles that of his oldest brother, Kon, rather than that of his other older brother, Kager. Kon Knueppel, of course, won the Mr. Basketball award last year after leading Wisconsin Lutheran to a 30-0 record and the WIAA Division 2 state title. He now is playing at Duke. [player_tooltip player_id='2140949' first='Kager' last='Knueppel'] is a 6-foot-8 sophomore with length and deep shooting range. Kinston comes off the bench for Wisconsin Lutheran and provides steady ball handling and can score in different ways. He has good size, skill and physical maturity and will be a key player for the Vikings the next three-plus seasons.</p>
