Attacks the hoops off the dribble with his size and strength while also possessing the ability to make shots from outside the arc. Played some varsity minutes as a sophomore at Neenah and figures to be a key contributor for the talented Rockets the next two seasons. Father, Jason, was an outstanding player at Oshkosh West and later for UW-Stout. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140959"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e53055"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking:</strong> Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking:</strong> 125<br><br>One of the better players for the [program_tooltip program_id='2127820' first='Racine' last='Truth'] 16U squad that had a very good season, Pratt-Hassan might be the most improved player in the Racine Lutheran program. And he's coming off a solid sophomore season where he averaged 6.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 steals while helping the Crusaders to a 24-3 record. Pratt-Hassan can play either guard position and has very good length. Look for him to be one of the primary forces behind Racine Lutheran's run to another Metro Classic Conference title in 2025-26.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2915503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e5309a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking: </strong>Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking:</strong> 180<br><br>A player who figures to continue moving up the Player Rankings as he adds weight and strength to his long frame. Had a productive second half of the 2024-25 high school season with St. John's Northwestern and then made steady progress against quality competition in the spring/summer with the talented [program_tooltip program_id='2480703' first='24:' last='UP'] Under Armour Rise squad. Runs the floor, blocks shots and can score at the rim. With additional strength and weight, N'diaye could develop into a scholarship-level player in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2835400"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e530d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking:</strong> Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking:</strong> 201<br><br>Schwabe uses his length to disrupt things on defense, and has improved his ability to get to the basket off the bounce. Needs to mature physically, but figures to play a key role for Marquette High after averaging 3.7 ppg and 2.6 rpg as a sophomore for the Hilltoppers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2404032"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e53115"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking: </strong>Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking: </strong>203<br><br>Wauwatosa East could be sneaky good next season and a big reason for the optimism with the Red Raiders is the presence of Clark in the lineup. He's as competitive as they come, makes the extra pass, defends with aggressiveness and is the first on the floor for a loose ball. Those winning traits figure to help Wauwatosa East move up from last year's eighth-place finish in the Greater Metro Conference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2397759"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e53153"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking:</strong> Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking:</strong> 223<br><br>Like others on this list, Hazel can be found working on his game on a daily basis in the gym at McDonell Central Catholic in Chippewa Falls. A gym rat to the nth degree, Hazel has improved at a rapid pace over the past 12 months. He averaged 6.3 points and 3.7 rebounds as a sophomore for the Macks and had a good spring/summer while playing up an age group with the CV Selection program. He has improved his strength and is a guy who can play and guard different positions, including some at point guard. Look for Hazel to emerge as one of the top players in the Western Cloverbelt this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2841010"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883e19e53190"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Previous Ranking: </strong>Unranked<br><strong>Current Ranking:</strong> 225<br><br>Lake Country Lutheran has such a solid program and has developed so many good players over the past decade. Duston definitely falls into that category as he figures to be a key frontline member of the Lightning squad this winter. He improved from April to July with the MTXE Premier program, running the floor well, scoring at the rim and putting up and making some shots from the perimeter. His length and shot blocking will be an asset for the Lake Country Lutheran defense near the basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
