The Prep Hoops Wisconsin Top250 Expo returns to Appleton on Sunday. Here’s a look at five under the radar post prospects that college coaches need to be keeping tabs on...   [player_tooltip player_id="1035872" first="Jackson" last="Dudek"] - 2021 - Kimberly Dudek might be one of the biggest sleepers in the state right now. Northern Michigan recently extended an offer to the Kimberly standout. Dudek began showing more consistent flashes over the summer. A blue collar worker that competes in all areas, Dudek was a role player for the Papermakers last season, but very well could be an x-factor that pushes them to another deep run in March. Jayden Fitch - 2021 - Fall Creek Fitch put up 13 points and eight rebounds last season. Although he’s a little undersized at 6-foot-5, Fitch is wiry and aggressive around the rim. He’s an efficent scorer near the basket, able to finish with either hand and power through contact. Fitch can also pull bigs away from the paint and space the floor on occasion. Cole Kalander - 2021 - Holmen Caught Kalander late in the summer and he showed some nice things. A 6-foot-7 forward with athleticism and bounce, Kalander could be a late bloomer after averaging under three points per game last season. There’s a lot to like about the makeup of Kalander, who is a fluid athlete that can handle the ball, attack the rim, and play in transition. Dawson Nordgaard - 2021 - West De Pere Nordgaard is a legit 6-8/6-9. He averaged about 12 points per game as a junior for a West De Pere ball club that won 18 games last season. A plus-length, raw forward who’s going to continue to grow into his body, Nordgaard’s best days are likely still ahead of him. [player_tooltip player_id="804948" first="Reece" last="Sproul"] - 2021 - Stoughton Sproul has is a mobile big with a strong frame. He’s been overshadowed a bit by some of the talent the Vikings have had over the past two years, but certainly is a good-looking prospect in his own right. The 6-foot-7 forward is a solid post presence who can protect the paint and score around the rim and will catch opponents by surprise with the way he gets up and down the floor.
