Wisconsin Recruiting Notebook: Jan. 29

<p>The latest recruiting notes from around the state of Wisconsin...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Meyer Gives the Latest</strong></p> <p>Monroe 2021 forward <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cade-meyer/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cade-meyer/">Cade Meyer</a></a> is currently the second-ranked junior in the state and holds three scholarship offers after being virtually unknown heading into the spring.  </p> <p>Meyer said two of those offers are currently standing out.</p> <p>"I really like Green Bay and Valparaiso," Meyer told Prep Hoops Wisconsin. "They fit me  really well. They like versatile players who can play  in the post and on the perimeter."</p> <p>Meyer also has an offer from UW-Milwaukee. At this time, high major interest is coming in from  Wisconsin, Iowa, Marquette, and Iowa State.</p> <p>The 6-foot-8 forward doesn't have any unofficial visits set at this time, but  has a handful in mind.</p> <p>"I've been trying to visit South Dakota State and Southern Illinois," he said. "I'll visit Wisconsin more when I can and UW-Milwaukee. I also want to visit the schools who I have offers from."</p> <p>Meyer plans to play out July before making a decision.</p> <p>"Depending on my relationship, if I feel like I'm a fit at a mid-major, then I'll choose that," he said. "But I've always wanted to play at the highest level possible. High major is the number one goal."</p> <p>Meyer is currently averaging just shy of 20 ppg this season.</p> <p><strong>Fuhrmann Looking at Three</strong></p> <p>One of the state's top uncommitted class of 2020 guards, Reedsburg's <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/will-fuhrmann/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/will-fuhrmann/">Will Fuhrmann</a></a> has things pretty much narrowed down.</p> <p>The senior said the three schools he's still looking at are Cardinal Stritch,  UW-La Crosse, and UW-Platteville.</p> <p>One of the state's most productive and all-around prospects, Furhmann is averaging  16.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals per game for the Beavers, who are  12-3 and one game back of first place in the Badger North Conference.</p> <p><strong>Abel Getting D1 and D2 Looks</strong></p> <p>Beaver Dam 2021 guard <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/nate-abel/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/nate-abel/">Nate Abel</a></a> is currently in the midst of a breakout season. The junior is averaging 21.5 points per game for the Beavers in 2019-20.</p> <p>Abel said he's receiving Division 1 interest from North Dakota and  Navy.  He took an unofficial visit to Navy in October. Division 2's Michigan Tech and Winona State are showing substantial interest as well.</p> <p>Abel is currently the No. 38 ranked junior in Wisconsin's 2021 class.</p> <p><strong>Thomas Still Weighing His Options</strong></p> <p>Last season, <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/karter-thomas/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/karter-thomas/">Karter Thomas</a></a> appeared poised to play his way to a Division 2, perhaps even a Division 1 scholarship. However, a torn ACL sidelined his entire AAU season.</p> <p>As a senior, the Oshkosh West senior guard has come back strong. Thomas is putting up 21.9 points per game   in 2019-20, leading the Wildcats  to a 6-5 record in a very tough Fox Valley Association. </p> <p>Thomas listed North Dakota  State, Lipscomb, Minnesota State-Moorehead, UW-Oshkosh, and Loras as the schools in the mix for his services.  Thomas is also considering a Prep/JUCO stint next season and mentioned Bryant and Stratton as a potential destination as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
