10 Stock Boosters in 2027 class from April-May club season

A look at 10 players from the state's 2027 class who have elevated their status with collegiate programs through the first two months of the club season. The top 10 ranked players in the Prep Hoops Wisconsin 2027 Player Rankings are not considered due to their previous lofty status on the recruiting scene.    Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 18 Competing on one of the better 16U squads not only in Wisconsin but the entire country, Rogers might get a bit overlooked at times by talented teammates [player_tooltip player_id='2194315' first='Dooney' last='Johnson'], [player_tooltip player_id='2351190' first='Jack' last='Kohnen'], [player_tooltip player_id='1847792' first='Donovan' last='Davis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140949' first='Kager' last='Knueppel'], among others. But the highly skilled and intelligent point guard is a very strong player in his own right and he has proven his mettle while competing on the best circuit in the country, the Nike EYBL. Rogers is a shot maker, a table setter and a pesky defender for [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro']. He makes up for his lack of size with his skill, quickness and court savvy. NCAA Division I and II coaches have taken notice of Homestead's steady lead guard and it might be a matter of time before he picks up a scholarship offer.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 22 The top scorer on a [program_tooltip program_id='2076501' first='Chapman' last='Basketball Academy'] Puma 16 NXT Pro squad that is unbeaten in 16 games this season and owns a 29-game winning streak dating back to late season, Belot ranks as one of the elite shooting guards in the state's 2027 class. He is simply deadly from outside the arc. And he has the movement, strength and instincts to get himself open. In last weekend's Puma 16 event in Wichita, Beloit made 15-of-30 shots from outside the arc and averaged 21.0 ppg as CBA went 4-0. A backcourt of Rogers and Belot for Homestead coach Sean Crider figures to rank among the best in the state over the next two seasons.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 30 Davis finished the high school season at West Allis Central averaging 7.6 points and 4.1 rebounds as the Bulldogs went 21-6 under coach Dave Mlachnik. His value on the basketball court, however, runs far, far deeper than just his statistical output. An emerging collegiate prospect in the 2027 class due to his length, athleticism and versatility, Davis competes with good instincts while scoring off the bounce and from the mid range. He can step outside to hit some threes, and he competes on the glass on both ends of the court. [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] coach Scott Cook put it best when he says, "Davis is growing in all areas of the game. He chips away at stat lines over a whole game."     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 39 Most ranked players compete at a high level on the basketball court. Basich, though, takes it to another level. The feisty point guard for the stellar squad at [program_tooltip program_id='2440507' first='Davis' last='Brothers Elite'] is elite when it comes to competitiveness. He will stick his nose into any situation and usually come out on top. A capable scorer but a better assist-man, Basich runs the show for Davis Brothers, which has won 23 of 26 games this spring. His ability to locate [player_tooltip player_id='2140876' first='Austin' last='Luchetti'] or [player_tooltip player_id='2346694' first='Tyler' last='Wollin'] cutting to the basket or Logan Ramczky and [player_tooltip player_id='2140869' first='Alex' last='Krause'] on the perimeter for good looks from beyond the arc is a major reason the team has achieved so much success.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 52 Yet another point guard on this list of Stock Boosters, Geiger is a confident player with the ball in his hands. He loves to turn the corner and get to the basket to either finish or drop off a pass to teammate [player_tooltip player_id='2508476' first='Oliver' last='Evans'], an improving 6-foot-8 post player who competes with Geiger at both Fort Atkinson and with [program_tooltip program_id='2517147' first='Wisconsin' last='Breakaway']. Geiger is a good perimeter shooter, but is at his best probing the defense and finding angles to the basket. Defensively, he possesses very good lateral quickness and quick hands. Geiger figures to be among the elite point guards in the Badger Small Conference the next two seasons.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 80 A tough player to defend because of his bounce, shiftiness in the lane and size, Toepel is the top scorer for a [program_tooltip program_id='2496167' first='Pro' last='Lane'] -- Walz squad that has enjoyed a very solid showing on the club scene this spring. Toepel had a solid sophomore season for Arrowhead, averaging 10.5 points and 4.4 rebounds for the Warhawks. And he has carried over that strong play for [program_tooltip program_id='2496167' first='Pro' last='Lane'] as he is scoring and rebounding at a high level for his squad.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 123 The more you watch Bezares, the more you like him. A skilled combination guard, Bezares can get on a roll from the perimeter. In a recent win for his [program_tooltip program_id='2076033' first='Wisconsin' last='Playmakers'] Appleton Showcase squad over [program_tooltip program_id='2517147' first='Wisconsin' last='Breakaway'], Bezares went off for seven three-point baskets. He is a capable scorer from mid range and off the dribble as well. Bezares' strong performances this spring is a major reason why his club is 15-6 this spring.         This young man has the looks of earning his way onto an all-conference squad in the Fox River Classic Conference in the near future. A reserve for De Pere's loaded squad of a year ago, Krueger has performed well this spring, flashing size, versatility, skill and strong basketball smarts. He can play on the perimeter at 6-foot-4 or go inside and inflict some damage with his length and strength. He has been a key performer for the upstart [program_tooltip program_id='2512324' first='Wisconsin' last='Legends'] program, which has won 18 of 22 games. Look for Krueger to emerge as perhaps De Pere's best player in 2025-26.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 178 Sometimes, all it takes for a player to shine is playing time. Gogin has received plenty of PT for the MTXE Premier squad this spring, and the Wauwatosa West guard has responded with a big spring. A backup for Tosa West's WIAA Division 2 state-title team as a sophomore, Gogin figures to have a strong chance of cracking the Trojans' starting rotation next season. His competitive nature, shot-making ability and ball handling/passing skills are impressive. Teaming with another improved player in [player_tooltip player_id='2414753' first='Rigg' last='Waterman'] of Catholic Memorial in the MTXE backcourt, Gogin missed a few tournaments this spring with an injury, but has returned to the lineup and played well this spring.     Current Prep Hoops Wisconsin Ranking: 207 Visibility is one of the major benefits of club basketball. It's hard to be known without getting out there and competing against good competition each weekend. Wesley has done just that for [program_tooltip program_id='2225511' first='All-Wisconsin' last=''], and in the process, the Shorewood guard has emerged as perhaps the most underrated player in the state's 2027 class. An athletic slasher with length and the ability to convert turnovers into breakaway dunks, Wesley is a talented backcourt prospect for coach Chris Robinson at Shorewood. He figures to rank among the top players in the Woodland East Conference the next two seasons, and he is a player who will attract the attention of college coaches because of his size, length and athleticism.
