Class of 2027: Biggest stock risers of the spring club season

Nearly a month and a half into the club season, here's a look at some of the players from Wisconsin who have improved their standing the most with college coaches. This list excludes players who had earned offers from high-major programs prior to the start of the club season since their stock already was extremely high.   CLASS OF 2027    Current Offers: Bethune-Cookman, Green Bay, La Salle, Northwestern State, Wyoming, Queens, Eastern Illinois, Northern Illinois. With eight NCAA Division I offers, Jones is hardly an unknown. But his play this spring with [program_tooltip program_id='2139004' first='Team' last='Haliburton'] has been impressive. His ability to shoot from the perimeter and well beyond the three-point line is his biggest strength. But he's also a player who competes with aggressiveness and athleticism and a winning attitude. He will need to get stronger and put on some muscle weight, but the future looks very promising for the latest in an extremely long line of stellar guard prospects to come out of Dominican.     Current Offers: Northern Illinois, Western Illinois, Menlo, Northern Michigan, Michigan Tech. Julien is somewhat similar to [player_tooltip player_id='2127267' first='Zeak' last='Jones'], his counterpart at the Catholic high school in Whitefish Bay. Both are long, skilled and competitive. Like Jones, Julien is a very good shooter from deep. But the starting wing from Whitefish Bay's WIAA Division 2 state-title team also has emerged as an outstanding defender and recent Division I offers from Northern Illinois and Western Illinois have put him on the map of mid-major programs in the Midwest. Julien is the best player on an extremely talented [program_tooltip program_id='2076501' first='Chapman' last='Basketball Academy'] team that competes on the Puma Pro16 circuit and his play for coach Joe Chapman's squad this spring has been outstanding.     Current Offers: Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech, Northern Michigan. Krueger definitely is a marked man for the [program_tooltip program_id='2512324' first='Wisconsin' last='Legends'] 17U squad and as such attracts plenty of defensive attention. However, the skilled, bouncy wing nonetheless has risen to the occasion for most of the spring for his squad. His feel for the game is outstanding as he takes and makes good shots, is a willing passer and competes on the defensive end and on the glass. With three offers from NCAA Division II programs now in hand, Krueger looks to add to his list of options with strong play during the May live period and then again in June and July. He is the returning Player of the Year in the Fox River Classic Conference.     Current Offers: Michigan Tech, Purdue-Northwest, South Dakota School of Mines, Northern Michigan, Parkside. The word is out on Stremlow, one of the more aggressive and relentless players in the state's super talented 2027 class. Stremlow is a scorer who comes full force at defenses from opening tip until final horn. He can hit perimeter shots, but his bread-and-butter is getting to the basket and finishing above the rim or through contact. A powerful player with the ball in his hands, Stremlow has been outstanding all spring for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078835' first='Wisconsin' last='Swing'] Bredesen team that plays on the RecruitLook circuit.     Current Offers: LaSalle, Milwaukee, Hawaii-Hilo, Western Illinois. A supremely confident player who has a penchant for making difficult shots, Rogers' spring showing for [program_tooltip program_id='2076501' first='Chapman' last='Basketball Academy'] has been extremely strong. The shifty, quick and skilled lead guard runs the show for CBA and is a dual threat thanks to his scoring and passing ability. Rogers has some good offers from Division I programs and looks to add to his list this spring and summer. Already a three-year varsity performer at Homestead, Rogers is one of the state's elite point-guard prospects.     Current Offers: Missouri S&T, Purdue-Northwest. One of the true stock boosters of the spring, Ploeckelman is a key performer for a very good ElevateUAA squad. His length, quickness off the floor, shot blocking and diversified scoring skills have not gone unnoticed as he has picked up NCAA Division II offers from both Missouri S&T and Purdue-Northwest. ElevateUAA director Mike Weinstein believes Ploeckelman is a D1 mid-major prospect and the Mukwonago forward will get the chance to prove his worth with coaches from that level this weekend on the Under Armour Association circuit.     Current Offers: Lindsey Wilson. One of the more enjoyable players in the state's 2027 class to watch because of his high energy and accurate long-range shooting touch, Cook has good size and strength to go along with his skills. He also can play both guard positions, though he is most lethal at the shooting-guard spot because of his three-point shooting skill. Cook owns an NAIA offer from Lindsey Wilson out of Kentucky, and figures to have scholarship schools watching closely the rest of the spring and into the summer. When you shoot the ball from outside the arc as well as Cook, that trait translates very well to the next level.     Current Offers: Eastern Illinois, Jacksonville. Fox gets things done as a talented point guard every time he steps onto the court. He runs a team exceptionally well, getting the ball to his teammates at the right time and on target. He can defend with his quickness and strength on the perimeter, rip down defensive rebounds and start the fast break with his speed and ball-handling skill. Fox owns a couple of NCAA Division I scholarship offers and is having a solid spring for a very good Midwest Renegade program out of the Chicago area.     Current Offers: None. Robert plays for the [program_tooltip program_id='2076033' first='Wisconsin' last='Playmakers'] National 17U squad, Robert is a defensive-minded power forward who affects the game most with his shot blocking and rebounding. But he's also a capable scorer as he averaged 18.1 points per game as a junior for a squad that went 19-9 at Menomonie. Robert is a good passer out of double teams, runs the floor well and is quick off his feet. He's a player NCAA Division II programs might want to check out this spring and summer as he continues to improve and impact games.     Current Offers: Arkansas Pine Bluff, Eastern Illinois. Deep and accurate from well beyond the three-point arc, White can light it up from deep. His quick release and aggressiveness with the ball are also positive traits. Though on the small side, White is very physical and operates well with the ball in his hands against pressure defense, both in the half court and full-court situations. White is the main scorer for [program_tooltip program_id='3581017' first='Dftp' last='Elite NXTPRO'], and he has turned in some specatcular games this spring, including a recent 40-point outing. The three-year varsity performer at Kenosha Bradford is trending upward as a collegiate prospect as he also plays with good court vision.
