<p>Walsh was really productive for the Golden Eagles as a junior, averaging 10.3 points and 4.4 rebounds on 50-48-63 shooting splits, but he could become a known name around the state as a senior. He's a fantastic shooter from distance with good size and a quick release, and following a ton of losses to graduation, Walsh will be the focal point of a Wahlert attack that could be one that surprises teams in Class 3A this winter. </p>

<p>Following the graduation of Zach Driscoll, the Vikings need someone in the backcourt to step up alongside star big man [player_tooltip player_id='2413531' first='Cael' last='LaFrentz']. That player could be Webb, who was solid in his role last season, averaging 4.7 points per game. He's a smart guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands, and he'll have ample opportunity to get shots up.</p>

<p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2887814' first='Cal' last='Kueter'] (Central DeWitt)</strong></p>

<p>Kueter has the type of size, length, and mobility at 6-6/6-7 that make him an intriguing player and prospect to monitor heading into his senior year for the Sabers. He was a role player last season, averaging 5.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, but he could be a player who takes a pretty significant leap as a senior. The Sabers lost 31.5 points with the graduation of their top two scorers from last season, so there will be plenty of opportunity for a player like Kueter to step up.</p>

<p>Porter is a bit undersized for a big man at 6-3, but he's productive and plays with a non-stop motor. He averaged 6.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game last season, and with more playing time as a senior, he could put up close to a double-double while controlling the middle of the Huskies' 2-3 zone. He can step out and space the floor with his jumper or finish around the rim. </p>

<p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2617522' first='Jesus' last='Villagomez'] (Charles City)</strong></p>

<p>Villagomez is another undersized, but athletic, forward who put up 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game as a junior for the Comets. He pounds the glass hard on the offensive end, pulling down 2.3 offensive boards a game last season, and following the transfer of their leading scorer, they'll need players to step up - that could be Villagomez. </p>
