2025 Rankings: Stock Risers

This stock risers piece will be brief due to the size of the rankings quadrupling. I want to take five of the kids in particular and highlight them today and touch on loads of 2025s tomorrow.

Makena Christian Makena Christian 6'0" | PF Hartford | 2025 State WI

The Hartford native can do everything on the floor. She’s a six-foot wing/forward who shoots the ball at a high level, attacks off the dribble and rebounds, and can defend multiple positions with her mobility, size, and strength. She has shown what she’s capable of against some good competition playing with 23s for Wisconsin Lakers. She is one of the best talents in Wisconsin at the moment.

Lydia Aalsma Lydia Aalsma 5'10" | CG Waupun | 2025 State WI

After winning a state title as a freshman, Lydia Aalsma Lydia Aalsma 5'10" | CG Waupun | 2025 State WI has already learned what it takes to win at the high school level. She came off the bench as a freshman but showed a lot of promise in her role. After seeing her play on Wisconsin Flight’s 15u team, it was evident that she may have as high of a ceiling as anyone in the 2025 class. She is an uber-athletic 5-foot-10 guard who could potentially play some lead guard. She can score from all three levels and understands how to utilize screens. After seeing what she could do against some good competition last weekend at Summer Jam, I’m very high on her. She’s one of my favorite 25s in the state.

Anna Terrian Anna Terrian 5'8" | CG Pewaukee | 2025 State WI

The Pewaukee guard is one of the best guards a team can have. She may not score 20 points in many games this coming season, but her impact on games is evident. She’s a solid wing defender, moves away from the ball, finishes around the rim, and shoots over 40% from the 3-point line. If the Pirates repeat any of the success they had last season, it’ll be due to the little things that Terrian brings to the game, in my opinion.

Katelyn McGinnis Katelyn McGinnis 5'9" | SG Kimberly | 2025 State WI

I was incredibly impressed with how efficiently McGinnis scored the ball at Summer Jam and in spurts at Kimberly last season. It’s easy to tell that she puts a lot of work into her game because it doesn’t seem like many things surprise her. McGinnis is comfortable doing anything offensively. She can shoot, get into the in-between area, and score in the paint in different ways. She’s athletic enough where her ceiling defensively is also high.

Raegan Krueger Raegan Krueger 6'1" | PF Kimberly | 2025 State WI

Another Kimberly 2025, Krueger is a skilled six-foot forward. She has the touch to punish kids from behind the 3-point line, but she also can score with her back to the basket. She’ll likely have a considerable role for the Papermakers next season, and she has plenty of momentum from playing for 1848 Legends. The more I’ve seen her play via stream, the higher I think of her and her game.
