Future Difference Makers at the Wisconsin Prospect Camp

Today, I wanted to go through a handful of kids from the Wisconsin Prospect Camp on Sunday and highlight some kids who, I think, will have a significant role to play in the high school ranks going forward.   [player_tooltip player_id='533070' first='Allison' last='Jirsa']   The first-year guard from Verona didn't see the floor a ton in her first year because of the rotation of talented guards ahead of her, but she's uber-talented. She's a long 5-foot-8 point guard who excels on both ends. Her quickness causes problems for her initial defender, and her length helps her force mistakes on her assignment on the defensive end.   [player_tooltip player_id='329562' first='Olivia' last='Schneider']   The McFarland guard is more of a creator than a scorer, but she makes her team better. She makes good decisions with the ball and keeps her head up when she attacks the rim. She did an excellent job moving the ball and keeping her teammates involved in plays. She's also a knockdown shooter when she gets room behind the 3-point line.   [player_tooltip player_id='338947' first='Lauren' last='Strifling']   Strifling did a lot of things I wasn't expecting on Sunday. Whenever she grabbed a defensive rebound, Strifling tried to bolt down the floor with the ball and did well pushing the tempo. Strifling looked athletic and progressive with the ball in her hands. Usually, in events like this one, I'd suggest kids do what they're comfortable with, but Strifling got out of her comfort zone and looked great all day.   [player_tooltip player_id='533071' first='Marti' last='Rebman']   What makes Rebman stand out among her peers in the 2026 class is her strength. I love her power when she attacks the rim and how well the Edgerton native keeps her chin on the basket whenever she absorbs contact in the air. Rebman was already a significant figure in Edgerton's rotation this season, and that role will only grow over the next three seasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='509692' first='Brooklyn' last='Maves']   The Evansville guard looked solid on the offensive end all day in Stoughton. She's excellent at getting to her spots and scoring when those opportunities. Maves likes to work in the mid-range area and doesn't mind playing through shot contests. She's a tough-shot maker.   Ashiya Hopkins   One of a few Wisconsin Dells players in the gym, Hopkins was one of the more consistent performers of the day. It seemed like whenever she made all her open jumpers. Whenever Hopkins drove the ball, the Wisconsin Dells native made something positive for her team happen. She's a positive player and helps make her team better.   [player_tooltip player_id='528123' first='Makenzie' last='Hawk']   Coaches love players who do all of the auxiliary teams that improve their team, and Hawk does all of those things. She'll guard the opposing team's best player, rebound the ball on the offensive end, frustrate the other team's offense, and score without needing plays run for her in a game. Her effect on the game is massive, even though it won't always show in stat sheets. Her size, mobility, and willingness to play different roles will draw people's over the next few years.
