<p class="text-gray-700">Ryan is one of those players who has not only kept improving each year since he was a freshman, but he has also seemed to grow an inch or two each season. Now listed at 6'5, he possesses the length and shooting touch that colleges like out on the wing. Ryan is active without the ball, and does a great job of quickly getting squared up to catch and shoot off the move. He's coming off of a junior season where he scored 8.6 points per game and could be in for even bigger numbers as a senior. This is the year that Prairie has been building towards with their talented 2027 class, and Ryan's shooting touch will be key if they want to compete for a D4 title.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kaukauna has to replace a 6'9 D1 commit in the paint, and Elijah is the prime candidate to step up. He showcased some impressive flashes over the summer with All Wisconsin, swatting shots in bunches and running the floor well at his size. Elijah knows who he is as a prospect, and he's a traditional big man who's going to battle for rebounds, protect the basket, and run rim-to-rim for transition opportunities. Good touch to finish the chances he gets inside, as he'll mostly score off put-backs or by stepping in from the dunker spot. He showed flashes all spring/summer, so we'll see if he can turn that into consistent production this winter. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jackson was an honorable mention all conference selection last season as a junior, and will look to make that a 1st team selection as a senior. At 6'7 he has a solid frame that makes him tough to move off the block, combined with shooting touch that extends out to the three point line where he shot 26-71 last winter. Nordin is a worker who runs the floor hard for transition opportunities and has the skill to face up and go to work out of the block/high-post areas. He averaged 17 points and 7 rebounds per game last winter. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Massimo wasn't able to play last season after transferring to Pius XI, so we're yet to see what he can do at the WIAA level. We have gotten to watch him with 24:Up these past couple of years, where he's looked like one of the best passers in the state. Massimo sees the floor incredibly well, and rarely misses the chance to set up an open teammate. He can make the simple pass by swinging it to a shooter, or wow you with a behind-the-back dime out in transition. Coming over from Spain, Massimo has some of that Ricky Rubio flair to his game that makes him so fun to watch when the ball is in his hands.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Headlined by Iowa State commit [player_tooltip player_id='1847792' first='Donovan' last='Davis'], Freedom will have some high profile matchups this winter. Cal will be the teams floor general, and will have chances to turn heads with his play in those games. He's so quick on the ball, and excels at navigating his way through tight spaces to get into the lane and create for his teammates. From there he can dump it off to his big for an easy finish, or locate an open shooter out on the perimeter. Defensively he's an absolute pest on the ball who has no problem picking up full-court on his own. His effort was fun to watch over the spring/summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2078394' first='Team' last='1848'], and now he'll look to close out his high school career with a bang this winter.</p>
