Jake Dietz – Neenah – 2021: Dietz had a nice second half against Hortonville. A guy that’s capable of playing multiple positions because of his skillset. Looked strong at all three levels, finishing with finesse and power on the baseline, connecting on a mid-range shot off the glass, and getting shots off on the perimeter.
Jake Martin Jake Martin 6'11" | C Whitewater | 2022 WI – Whitewater – 2022 – (Center): Every year, he’s a guy that I liked to watch closely. The seven-footer, to my surprise, favored the mid-range shot in the first half on Tuesday. He also seemed lighter on his feet. He made some nimble moves towards the rim, too. He is averaging 17 points per game.
Jeremiah Burke Jeremiah Burke 6'5" | PF Saint Francis | 2021 State WI – Saint Francis – 2021: The 6’6” forward is averaging over 25 points per game this year. A player scouts need to look into. Great frame that’ll be an asset at the next level. An above-average athlete. He was stellar on the Prep Hoops Circuit two summers ago, and it’s clear he’s been improving.
Jalen Keago Jalen Keago 6'6" | SF Oshkosh North | 2021 State WI – Oshkosh North – 2021: So far its been breakout year for the forward, who’s looked stellar on the offensive end. Posted 30 points against Kaukauna on Friday. He’s growing more confident from the outside. He’s a smooth player all around and has a major impact, so college coaches should expect him to contribute all across the board.
J.J. Paider J.J. Paider 6'7" | PF Neenah | 2022 State WI – Neenah – 2022: Paider missed a few bunnies in the first half in his game against Hortonville. Still, he racked up a handful of strong rebounds that night and looked much-improved finishing through contact from his summer season.
