Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Bradley sounds tantalizing. 6'3 freshmen with 'true' PG skills.. can score and dish equally well.

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Those lists are nowhere near accurate. Chimankinda Kadima has several D1 scholarship offers. Cerroni has more than UW-Green Bay & UW-Milwaukee. Ben Mills (6-10, BF, Hartland Arrowhead) will play D1 basketball. I also believe that T.J. Bray will play D1 basketball as well.
In 2011, there is not one player that at this point in time, projects to be the type of player at the next level that Coach Ryan and the UW staff would go after. Trevor Jorgenson is the most complete player at this point in time in that class. Obviously, the gentlemen who did have the time to look up some of these players, listed several players. Keep an eye on Darell Longstreet (6-0, PG, Kenosha Tremper). |

That way I can update the list, which I never said was accurate or complete. All I did was take Miller's top 50/25 lists and combined it with the Scout (who is notoriously inaccurate, which I alluded to) and Recruiting Planet profiles, then posted whoever's names where near the top of each class. As far as the 2011 class goes I listed Miller's top 6 directly because no one has complete enough rankings out for that class yet. Longstreet came in as his #11 in 2011, so he got left off. Mills was his #17 in 2010 and doesn't have a Scout profile yet, so I saw no reason to list him. If you've got some schools that are interested in them I'll put their names on there. As far as me saying that UW should go after Bradley, he's the top player in the state (again, per Miller) who has good size and "true point guard skills." Low and behold, the Badgers need a point guard in that class. Win-win. I said Bo should go after Harris as well because he's the #3 player in the class right now and the Badgers will be looking to bring in a SF in the 2011 class. He's the right size for the position and it looks like he's talented enough. I left out Jorgensen because while the Badgers will be looking for a center for the 2011 class, 6'6" is a bit too short. Like 5" short. ps. I would love it if TJ Bray end up playing DI ball. His dad was one of my coaches at Holy Apostles in 7th and 8th grade.

Very good list komacki, but I thought of a couple things that may come into play in regards to who the staff will be after for the 2001 class. They will have 4 schollies that year if all players stay on track. They'll need a power forward (would only have Bruiser and maybe Bergren on roster for that position at that time and both would be upperclassmen), possibly a center (they'd lose two in JP and possibly Nankivil but would still have Markolff, Bergrenn, Anderson), a 2/3 (Evans, Taylor, Wilson are only ones left unless Bruiser plays some 3), and then either a shooting guard or point guard depending on how Blue progresses or projects. They could go Bradly (or another point) and slide Blue to the 2 with some time at the 1 or they could go with a two guard and slide Blue to the 1 mostly. So if Jorgensen is 6'7'' or ends up there at least I think he would project as a power forward and definetly be an option for UW depending of course on his continued development. |

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Kyle Kelm (Soph) of Randolph also has an offer from Northern Iowa. Josh Gasser (Soph) from Port Washington has an offer from North Dakota State as well as the UWM offer. Chip Rank (Soph) of Cedarburg has offers from UWM, UWGB, and North Dakota State. One of the other schools Ben Averkamp (JR) has an offer from is UWM.

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Rank has been added. I've heard that he might be a player Bo would keep tabs on in case a current Badger left the program. I added David Anderson for completion's sake as well. Now all of Miller's top 10 in 2010 are on there.

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Update: Removed the opinion parts from the list and added the two offers that Maymon has. That 2010 class is really good. As in really, really good. I would definitely pay money (or at least drive to see) a game of, say,...
Blue, Kadima, Davis, DAnderson, and Kelm
-vs.-
Gasser, Cerroni, Rank, Mason, and EAnderson
... or some other variation. It would be awesome if they held it in the Fieldhouse so I could finally see a game there. It really is too bad that the Badgers only have 2 scholarships to use for that class.
@pistol: That's pretty much what my thinking of what the Badgers will look like/need in 2011. I'm pretty sure I've posted this elsewhere as well: Players lost to graduation: Jarmusz, Leuer, Nankivil, Gavinski (scholarships); Valentyn (walk-on) Returning players PG: Jordan Taylor (senior) SG: Robert Wilson (senior), Diamond Taylor (sophomore), Vander Blue (combo guard, sophomore) SF: Ryan Evans (possible combo forward, junior), Mike Bruesewitz (combo forward, junior) PF: Jared Berggren (senior) C: Ian Markolf (junior), Evan Anderson (sophomore) The fact that I have Evans, Markolf, and DTaylor redshirting doesn't really matter. The way I look at it, there is a need for a true PG, a wing-type SF, a PF, and a PF/C. After browsing through Miller's list and illinoishsbasketball.com, here's who I wouldn't mind filling those positions, depending on how they grow (I'm adding about 2 inches over the next few years) and progress the next couple years: PG: Bradley, Tracey Abrams (#2 PG, #5 prospect in Illinois), Darell Longstreet SF: Wayne Blackshear (top SG, #2 prospect in Illinois), Quevyn Winters PF: Darnell Harris (looks like he might already be up to 6'7"), Trevor Jorgenson, Cinmeon Bowers C: Mike Shaw (6'8" PF, top prospect in Illinois), David Condon I can't wait to see who Bo starts targeting. I think it'll go back to a mix of in-state and out-of-state recruits, unlike these next two years. I'm still wondering how no Wisconsin prospect was signed out of 5 available scholarships. There's definitely a dip in the quality of in-state talent in next year's class. Lucious will be good. But I retract that statement if he helps lure Wilson to MSU. In that case he's terrible for Wisconsin basketball.

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
One notable player Komacki failed to mention from 2010 was 6'7" Milwaukee Custer power forward Calvin Godfrey. Here was a short write-up from NY2LASports on GodfreyHe only averaged 8 points per game on the season, but is strong on defense and the boards. NY2LA just called Gasser the best shooter in the midwest. Trevor Hass was named as a sleeper to watch in 2010. 6'4" Elgin Cook was yet another freshman who made an impact this season for Milwaukee Bay View. NY2LA has him rated as the 25th best player in the midwest for 2011, but said he has the potential to be the best player in Wisconsin when it's all said and done. He was on the all tournament team at the Swish and Dish. Going beyond 2011 is a little absurd, because we're talking about middle schoolers then, but here are Hoop Scoop's national rankings just for fun: 2012: #57, F Jean Pierre Tokoto, 6'4", Menomonie Falls #117, C Julius Wanyoike, 6'4", Milwaukee #191, F Arroyo Edwards, 6'4", Milwaukee 2013: #29, G Jarvis Garrett, 5', Milwaukee #31, G Duane Wilson, 5'7", Milwaukee #87, F Deonte Burton, 5'10", Milwaukee #124, F Jordan Bradley, 6', Milwaukee |

#87, F Deonte Burton, 5'10", Milwaukee
#124, F Jordan Bradley, 6', Milwaukee Discussed on a previous thread, but you might want to add Albert Lamomba, 6'5" WF from Madison to your 2012 list. This service has him in their top 25 for 2012 |

All right, let's open this thing up and supersize it.
edit: Updated. Also, Scout has Clayton Heuer as part of the 2008 class, but Miller has him in 2009. Another shining example of Scout's high quality.

David Anderson looked like a stud in the tournament. I hope he gets a long look from the state schools.

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
- Jacob Koch is going to Northern Iowa with his brother.
- Benkoske: Loyola
- Gollen: Mercer
- Devron Bostick: Minnesota by way of JUCO
- James Haarsma: Evansville by way of Prep
- Jason Jensen: Texas Pan American by way of JUCO
- Trey McKinney-Jones: Missouri-Kansas City
- Andy Smith: Mercer
- Jacolby Hardiman: Central Michigan by way of JUCO
- Tone Boyle: UW-Milwaukee by way of JUCO
Dwight Buycks tore it up at JUCO, after not qualifying to receive his scholarship from Bradley. He was re-classified as a 2009 recruit, and is receiving interest from Iowa St. and Bradley.
Heuer committed to UW-Green Bay.
Anybody hear what happened to former Marquette commit Anthony Green, from Beloit?

The analyst for Illinois' rivals site said Bradley reminded him of former Illini player Frank Williams. He also said that Harris is an athletic and long big man prospect. I am guessing they will both be getting big time interest pretty soon. |

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
Kids from Bay View have a history of not being qualifiers out of high school. Maybe Harris can break that mold.
After that one, Izzo wept openly in MSU's locker room and said he wanted it to "hurt every bit as much as it does so I can remember every frickin' minute." |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the offer from Marquette was a Crean blanket offer. |

Am I the only one that feels we shouldn't be discussing and certainly not naming kids that are still in middle school? I, for one, am in favor of not discussing players until they step foot on a high school basketball court.

But the fact is that they're already being evaluated and ranked by various services. So on here, I figure that as long as the person that brings up a name has a source for it I'm not doing any more harm by adding them to the list at the top. |

Re: Wisconsin's Top in-state players
I guess Rivals is reporting that Tennessee has offered Maymon.
Looks like the top seven in '08 are off the board. Anyone want to wager who will be the first of the top 3 in '09 will to be off the board? I think the order will be Lacy, Maymon, Wilson.
