<p>** <strong>Tyler Treder </strong>from California Lutheran Academy to Wisconsin Lutheran. The 6-foot-8 junior forward moved to Wisconsin after both of his parents accepted teaching positions at Lutheran schools in the Milwaukee area. He was one of California's most prolific scorers a year ago, averaging more than 40 points per game for a small school in the Southern Section of the state. He set a school record as a sophomore with 63 points in one game. So far with Wisconsin Lutheran, Treder has played in two summer events, the Marquette team camp and June Jam. He figures to contend for a starting role for a program that has won 88 of 90 games and three straight state championships.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2450160' first='Lavonte' last='Johnson'] from Madison Memorial to Marshall. Johnson stated 19 games for Madison Memorial as a freshman and ranks as one of the better class of 2029 prospects in the state. He averaged 7.2 points and 4.0 rebounds while helping Madison Memorial to a 27-3 record and a second-place finish in the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament. He joins a Marshall program that went 15-11 a year ago and competes at the Division 4 level. The Cardinals figure to boast one of the better one-two scoring punches in the state with Johnson joining Marshall senior [player_tooltip player_id='2423549' first='Jaylen' last='Miggins']. <br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='3680557' first='Corey' last='Yateman'] from Maricopa High School in Arizona to Milwaukee Messmer. A sophomore point guard who previously lived in Milwaukee before a move to Arizona, Yateman returns to Wisconsin and has enrolled at Messmer. He played for the Bishops in the Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook Summer Tournament in Burlington and performed well in all four games. Yateman has good size at 6-foot-2 and is equally effective scoring the ball and passing to his teammates. A big addition for an already strong Messmer program.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2511690' first='Massimo' last='Ruz'] from DME Academy to Pius XI Catholic. Ruz actually enrolled at Pius XI a year ago and spent a portion of last season playing on the JV1 squad for the Popes. He was unable to play varsity due to WIAA transfer rules, but has the green light to play in 2026-27 and that figures to be a big boost for a team already pegged as one of better teams in the Woodland West Conference. At 6-foot-3 and with excellent scoring and passing skills, Ruz joins a loaded backcourt that also includes [player_tooltip player_id='2552505' first='Justin' last='Jones'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140976' first='Preston' last='Kirchoff'], among others. Ruz is a native of Spain and played two years ago for the DME Academy program in Delafield. <br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2369880' first='Bennett' last='Risler'] from Regis to Eau Claire Memorial. Risler helped Regis to the WIAA State Tournament in Division 4 last winter, averaging 11.8 points and 4.6 rebounds as a freshman starter for the Ramblers. His older brother, Blake Risler, graduated in May after becoming the third all-time leading scorer is Regis history with 1,873 points. [player_tooltip player_id='2369880' first='Bennett' last='Risler'] has good size (6-foot-3) and length, and a strong basketball IQ. He figures to make an immediate impact for a very young Eau Claire Memorial squad.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2519158' first='Gabe' last='Whited'] from Onalaska to Monarch Academy. Whited, an athletic 6-foot-6 forward, plans to spend his junior season playing for Monarch Academy, a new prep school in Kansas City. Whited averaged 6.1 points and 4.1 rebounds for Onalaska as a sophomore and played for the Howard Pulley club program in the spring.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2814373' first='Cornell' last='Clark'] from Wisconsin Lutheran to Kingdom Prep Lutheran. Clark, a 5-foot-6 dynamo with elite speed and plenty of defensive toughness, and his brother, [player_tooltip player_id='2814401' first='Cameron' last='Clark'], a 5-foot-11 guard, have both enrolled at Kingdom Prep Lutheran after spending their first two years of high school at Wisconsin Lutheran. The deep talent at Wisconsin Lutheran may have been a contributing factor to the transfer of the Clark boys, both talented players who figure need to get clearance from the WIAA before suiting up for the varsity squad at Kingdom Prep Lutheran.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2385187' first='Greyson' last='Rathbun'] from Altoona to Regis. A muscular 6-foot-0 sophomore guard Rathbun played in 16 varsity contests for Altoona as a freshman. He transferred to Regis prior to the end of the 2025-26 school year and figures to be a key player for the Ramblers for the next three seasons.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='3241055' first='Connor' last='Wilson'] from Sussex Hamilton to Catholic Memorial. Wilson, a lanky 6-foot-9 sophomore, started his high school career at Kettle Moraine Lutheran but transferred to Sussex Hamilton last fall. He played in six varsity games for the Chargers and has since enrolled at Catholic Memorial. Wilson has a bright future ahead of him as he adds weight and strength to his long frame.<br><br>** [player_tooltip player_id='2885035' first='Tyler' last='Seidl'] from Appleton East to Appleton North. A 6-foot-1 sophomore guard who averaged 5.1 points and 2.2 rebounds for the varsity squad at Appleton East last winter, Seidl opted to move across town to attend Appleton North, which qualified for the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament last March.</p>
