The Transfer List 1.0

It's that time of year again. High school basketball players are on the move throughout Wisconsin. Some are leaving the high school ranks, some are moving into the state and some are switching schools within the state. It's nowhere near the transfer portal you see in college basketball these days, but it's still significant. Here's a quick look at some transfers we've been made aware of at this point.   [player_tooltip player_id='2371700' first='Deuce' last='McDuffie'], 6-6, Jr., F to Nicolet (From Milwaukee King) Easily the biggest name involved in moving to a new school, McDuffie is one of the state's premier juniors. He picked up a scholarship offer over the summer from Wisconsin, and played very well for the outstanding [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro'] 16U squad on its way to a semifinal showing at the Peach Jam Tournament last month. Ranked No. 6 among class of 2027 prospects in Wisconsin, McDuffie averaged 19.7 points and 6.3 rebounds for King last season and earned first team all-Milwaukee City Gold Division laurels. Central Florida, Green Bay and Grambling State have extended offers to McDuffie in addition to Wisconsin. He is expected to gain eligibility from the WIAA due to a change within his family. [player_tooltip player_id='2140983' first='Tref' last='Rademaker'], 6-9, Jr., F, to DME Academy (From West DePere) Rademaker is joining the prep school program at DME Academy, which is located and a part of the educational program at St. John's Northwestern Academies in Delafield. The loss of his scoring (18.8 ppg) and rebounding (9.0 rpg) from a year ago will be difficult for West DePere to replace. Rademaker had a strong off season with the [program_tooltip program_id='2076433' first='Kevon' last='Looney Power 5'] program and owns NCAA Division I scholarship offers from Alabama A&M, Georgia Southern, Green Bay and Manhattan. TJ Ivy, 6-2, Sr., G, to Bay Port (From Romeoville, Ill.) Ivy is a shooting guard from Romeoville, Illinois, who plans to enroll at Bay Port for his senior season. Ranked among the top 300 players in the 2026 class in Illinois, Ivy competed with the [program_tooltip program_id='2139004' first='Team' last='Haliburton'] squad on the club circuit this past spring and summer. He figures to provide the Pirates with some strong leadership and shooting for the 2025-26 season. [player_tooltip player_id='2824735' first='JT' last='Meyer'], 6-8, Jr., F, to Bay Port (From Monroe) JJ Meyer, 6-10, Sr., F, to Bay Port (From Monroe) In addition to Ivy, Bay Port also welcomes a pair of frontline transfers as JT and JJ Meyer move with their family from Monroe to the Green Bay area. [player_tooltip player_id='2824735' first='JT' last='Meyer'] picked up first-team all-Rock Valley (Valley Division) honors as a sophomore when he averaged 13.0 points and 6.6 rebounds while helping the Cheesemakers to a 17-9 record. JJ Meyer also played a big role on last year's Monroe squad as he contributed 10.0 ppg and 4.8 rpg. [player_tooltip player_id='1963527' first='Matthew' last='Burkhart'], 6-1, Sr., G, to Burlington (From Union Grove) [player_tooltip player_id='2618911' first='Nathan' last='Burkhart'], 6-0, Soph., G, to Burlington (From Union Grove) Like the Meyer brothers, the Burkhart brothers are on the move and have transferred from Union Grove to Southern Lakes Conference rival Burlington. [player_tooltip player_id='1963527' first='Matthew' last='Burkhart'] averaged 8.6 ppg for Union Grove and started about half the games for the Broncos last winter. Nathan did not play on the varsity squad, but might get that chance in his new surroundings this winter. [player_tooltip player_id='2304321' first='Emmett' last='Munson'], 6-3, Soph., G/F, to Burlington (From Pius XI Catholic) Munson played some varsity minutes at Pius XI Catholic as a freshman, but did not finish the school year at the Woodland Conference school and has enrolled at his hometown school, Burlington. Over the summer, Munson showed his athleticism and strength on the glass and on defense and could emerge as a key player for the Demons and coach Kyle Scott in 2025-26. [player_tooltip player_id='2494354' first='Amillian' last='Hatchett'], 6-0, Soph., PG, to Racine Case (From Racine Lutheran) Hatchett played primarily on the JV1 squad at Lutheran last winter, although he did get some run with the Crusaders' talented varsity squad. He moves over to Case and joins a program loaded with talented 2028 prospects. Hatchett will contend for playing time on a very good Case squad this winter along with sophomore classmates [player_tooltip player_id='2821769' first='Mehki' last='Collins'] (6-6), [player_tooltip player_id='2415735' first='Charlie' last='Kwapil'] (6-2), [player_tooltip player_id='2364910' first='Anthony' last='Wheeler'] (6-1) and Jayden Searcy (5-11). [player_tooltip player_id='2231583' first='Timmy' last='West'], 6-1, Jr., G, to SFA Academy in Dover, Florida (From Edgewood) [player_tooltip player_id='2369866' first='AJ' last='Gnewuch'], 6-3, Soph., G, to IMG Academy in Florida (From Edgewood) Edgewood took one on the chin in July as two of its better players opted to attend prep schools in Florida. West had played major minutes for Edgewood the past two seasons. He plans to reclassify to the 2028 class at SFA Academy. Gnewuch showed plenty of promise while playing for the Edgewood varsity club last winter. He is joining his older sister, Zhana, at DME Academy. [player_tooltip player_id='2487653' first='Vinnie' last='Walker'], 5-8, Soph., G, to Brookfield Central (From Pius XI Catholic) Walker started a handful of games and averaged 7.7 points and 2.1 rebounds as a freshman at Pius XI Catholic. He joins a very strong Brookfield Central program and will contend for a spot on the Lancers' varsity roster this winter. Geddy Barnstable, 6-1, Jr., G, to Plymouth (From Howards Grove) Barnstable played some significant minutes as a sophomore at Howards Grove, averaging 5.6 ppg and 3.3 rpg. The younger brother of former Sheboygan Lutheran star Delvin Barnstable and ex-Howards Grove standout Miles Barnstable, Geddy Barnstable joins an experienced Plymouth roster.
