Final Prep Hoops Player Rankings for 2025 class

A class that most definitely left a lasting imprint on the history of boys' high school basketball in the state. That's how many will remember the state's talented 2025 class.   Two of the players in the 2025 class -- Southern Door's [player_tooltip player_id='1418511' first='Drew' last='Daoust'] and Oshkosh North's [player_tooltip player_id='1282617' first='Xzavion' last='Mitchell'] -- moved into the top three on the all-time scoring list for Wisconsin. A total of 14 players, to date, have committed to NCAA Division I programs, a higher than usual number for the state. And another player from the 2025 class established two records while competing at the recently concluded WIAA State Tournament. Today, Prep Hoops Wisconsin released its final Player Rankings for the 2025 class. The list of 300 players can be found <a href="https://prephoops.com/wisconsin/rankings/2025-rankings/">here</a>. Mitchell, the 6-foot-7 forward who is headed to Iowa State, moved into the top spot in the 2025 class thanks to his sterling senior season. Presented with the prestigious Mr. Basketball award from the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association at last week's state tournament, Mitchell averaged 34.7 points and 9.4 rebounds while leading Oshkosh North to a 19-10 record and a spot in the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament. The skilled and versatile forward finished his prep career with 2,824 points to rank third on the state's all-time scoring list. Second-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1240336' first='Amari' last='Allen'] of Ashwaubenon, another 6-foot-7 forward, won the Gatorade Player of the Year award and is headed to Alabama to play college basketball. At his size and with his length and athleticism, Allen was a very difficult match-up for opponents as he often had the ball in his hands while initiating the Ashwaubenon offense. Allen averaged a robust 34.1 ppg to rank fourth in the state. He also contributed 11.5 rpg and 8.5 apg as Ashwaubenon went 19-7 under coach DeVante Blanks. Coming in at No. 3 is [player_tooltip player_id='1447228' first='Jamarion' last='Batemon'], the 6-foot-3 wing guard who led Milwaukee Academy of Science to the Division 3 state championship. A relentless defender and terrific shooter, Batemon joins Mitchell in the 2025 recruiting class at Iowa State. He averaged 25.6 points as a senior while helping the Novas to a 25-1 record. In the process, Batemon made 43 percent of his attempts from three-point range, sinking 106 of 248 tries from beyond the arc. [player_tooltip player_id='1351717' first='Zach' last='Kinziger'], also a 6-foot-3 guard, helped De Pere to a 26-2 mark and checks in as the No. 4-ranked player in the gifted 2025 class. The University of Wisconsin recruit had an incredible four-year run at De Pere, winning a remarkable 107 of 114 contests, including the 2023 WIAA Division 1 state title. Kinziger, a very good shooter who competes with excellent basketball instincts, averaged 24.4 ppg as a senior and finished his prep career with 1,883 points. He also shot 86 percent from the foul line over his four years on varsity, making 295 of 345 tries. Fifth-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1853648' first='Gavin' last='Gores'] of Cumberland might have been the most productive player across the board of any player in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-10 Wyoming recruit averaged 34.1 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocked shots while helping the Beavers to a 21-6 record and a spot in the Division 4 sectional finals where they lost to eventual state-champion Aquinas. Gores improved throughout his high school career and completed his four years of varsity competition with 2,360 points. The second five in the 2025 class is almost as impressive as the first five. Indeed, No. 6-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1447229' first='Will' last='Garlock'] of Middleton, No. 7-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1351718' first='Aaron' last='Womack'] of Dominican, No. 8-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1481176' first='Chris' last='Davis Jr.'] of Sun Prairie East, No. 9-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1390441' first='Devin' last='Brown'] of Milwaukee Academy of Science and No. 10-ranked [player_tooltip player_id='1412882' first='Luka' last='Momcilovic'] of Pewaukee could give the first five a run for their money in an All-Star game. Garlock, a 6-foot-11 forward and Wisconsin recruit, missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a foot injury. He came back to the Middleton lineup strong as he averaged 12.7 points and 6.8 rebounds. Womack, a 6-foot-6 forward headed to Syracuse, had a very strong four-year career for coach Steve Showalter at Dominican. He averaged 28.8 points and 11.1 rebounds as a senior and the lone returning starter from a year ago. A good shooter with tremendous length and a big upside as he continues to gain weight and add strength, Womack scored 2,240 career points. Davis, a 6-foot-5 wing guard who will play at Arkansas State, led Wisconsin in scoring the past two seasons. He averaged 40.8 ppg as a junior at Sun Prairie West and 35.1 ppg as a senior at Sun Prairie East. Davis finished his four-year high school career with 2,688 points. Brown, a teammate of Batemon's on Academy of Science's loaded squad, will play at Coastal Carolina next season. The 6-foot-7 forward can handle the ball away from the basket, score through contact in the post and snare rebounds with the best of them. He averaged 18.1 points and 10.8 rebounds in 2024-25. Momcilovic is a versatile 6-foot-8 forward who will play next season at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. He had a strong senior season for coach David Burkemper at Pewaukee, averaging 16.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg for the Pirates. Each of the players in the top 10 is scheduled to play college basketball next winter at the Division I level. Four additional Division I players in the state's 2025 class include: No. 11 [player_tooltip player_id='1289073' first='Keegan' last='Van Kauwenberg'] (6-3) of Kaukauna. He is headed to Green Bay and had a monster senior campaign while leading Kaukauna to the Fox Valley Association championship. Van Kauwenberg, who seems to improve by the week, averaged 24.6 points and 5.6 assists for the Ghosts. No. 12 Javantae Edwards (6-1) of Carmen Northwest. He will play next year at Canisius in Buffalo. A blur with the ball in his hands, Edwards relentlessly attacked the basket all season for Carmen Northwest and earned Player of the Year honors in the Gold Division of the Milwaukee City Conference. No. 14 [player_tooltip player_id='1289064' first='Elijah' last='Griffin'] (6-2) of Westosha Central. He will play in the Ivy League next season for Cornell. An athletic backcourt player who can play the point or off guard positions, Griffin averaged 21.7 points and 8.0 assists as Westosha Central went 17-10 under coach James Hyllberg. No. 20 [player_tooltip player_id='1598239' first='David' last='Bolden'] (6-0) of Nicolet. He will play at NJIT in the fall and hopes to bring his physical, tough-minded approach to a program that competes in the America East Conference. A few of the top players in the state remain uncommitted and could very well end up at scholarship-level programs. That list includes No. 13 [player_tooltip player_id='1481178' first='Cooper' last='Jesperson'] of Eau Claire Memorial, No. 15 [player_tooltip player_id='1300316' first='Myles' last='Herro'] of Whitnall, No. 22 [player_tooltip player_id='1240337' first='Jake' last='Hansen'] of Wauwatosa West, No. 23 [player_tooltip player_id='1390442' first='Agape' last='Keys Jr.'], of Academy of Science and No. 25 [player_tooltip player_id='1500914' first='Jaydon' last='Awe'] of Stevens Point. Going back to the stellar career of Daoust, the 6-foot-1 guard from Southern Door completed his career with 3,096 points to move into second place on the all-time scoring list. The UW-Stevens Point recruit comes in at No. 27 in the Prep Hoops Player Rankings and averaged 32.3 ppg as a senior. The impressive depth in the 2025 class shines through when you consider no less than 14 additional players have accepted scholarships from NCAA Division II programs. That grouping includes: No. 16 [player_tooltip player_id='1412881' first='AJ' last='Bender'] of Lake Mills to Minnesota State-Mankato. No. 17 [player_tooltip player_id='1244808' first='Brooks' last='Hinson'] of Marshfield to Northern Michigan. No. 18 [player_tooltip player_id='1156904' first='Drew' last='Murphy'] of Verona to Northern Michigan. No. 19 [player_tooltip player_id='1908410' first='Pryce' last='Gregoire'] of De Pere to Northern Michigan. No. 21 [player_tooltip player_id='1435902' first='Trevor' last='Polite'] of Homestead to Northern Michigan. No. 24 [player_tooltip player_id='1412884' first='Andrew' last='Rader'] of Notre Dame to Minnesota-Duluth. No. 26 [player_tooltip player_id='1432805' first='Zach' last='Behn'] of Kewaskum to Parkside. No. 29 [player_tooltip player_id='1598980' first='Matthew' last='Buckman'] of Cambridge to Hillsdale. No. 30 [player_tooltip player_id='1272671' first='Anthony' last='Rise'] of Brookfield Central to Hawaii-Hilo. No. 33 [player_tooltip player_id='1544731' first='Logan' last='Zahour'] of Cedarburg to Parkside. No. 37 [player_tooltip player_id='2111727' first='Jesse' last='Napgezek'] of Wausau East to University of Mary. No. 50 Liam Lubkeman of Westosha Central to Parkside. No. 52 [player_tooltip player_id='2224523' first='Logan' last='Sipple'] of Shawano to Bemidji State. No. 57 [player_tooltip player_id='2492746' first='Justin' last='Bleisner'] of Homestead to Michigan Tech. At the WIAA State Tournament, [player_tooltip player_id='1815635' first='Isaiah' last='Robinson'] of Racine Park proved he is a likely scholarship player with the incredible defense he played in the Panthers' two contests. He finished with eight steals in the D2-title game loss to Wauwatosa West to set a single-game tournament record and had 15 steals in two games to set another record. [player_tooltip player_id='1390441' first='Devin' last='Brown'] came close to setting at D3 record for most rebounds in a game as he had 19 to help Academy of Science past Freedom in the D3 title game. He likely could have gotten closer to the record of 24 set by Jeff Wolf in 1976 had he been able to finish the game. Brown went out of the game for good with an ankle injury with just under six minutes left.

A class that most definitely left a lasting imprint on the history of boys' high school basketball in the state.

That's how many will remember the state's talented 2025 class.
