Nordin continued his strong finish, to 2026, where he averaged 24 ppg and 8 rpg, over his last 7 games, with a solid summer for the Wisconsin Blaze and looks primed to be one of the state’s top players this fall. Solid in the post with good length and great bounce, Nordin has a nice bag of post moves and is one of the more active rebounders that I have seen over the course of the summer. With Shawano returning their top three scorers, I expect Nordin will be on the forefront of a resurgent season for the Hawks.

An emerging player in the 2027 class, Nording turned in a very strong junior season at Shawano. He averaged 17.0 points and 7.1 rebounds for a Shawano squad that finished 9-16. Nordin received honorable mention all-league honors in the Bay Conference. Older sister, Leah Nordin, accepted a scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin and will be freshman in the Badgers’ program in the fall.

Jackson was one of the top Post players that I saw at The Champion Center. Skilled at establishing strong position, he was tough to stop with his variety of moves drawing tons of fouls in the process. Jackson also was a handful, on the glass, impressing me as one of the best rebounders, I saw, pulling down several offensive rebounds in each game.

Jackson put his name on the map with a strong performance at The Expo. Matched up against one of the better 2027 prospects in the state in a 3v3 game, Jackson was going to work in the mid-range while finishing through contact at the rim. He has some mobility at 6’7, can face up and score off one or two dribbles, or can simply bully his way to the basket to finish. Jackson was listed at 6’3 last season while averaging 3 ppg for Shawano, but now he looks like a player ready to breakout as a junior.
