The 2026 class in Wisconsin may end up being the most talented of the 24s-27s, which says a lot about the talent in that group.
Audrey Sellinger Audrey Sellinger 5'11" | SF Wauwatosa East | 2026 State WI
The Tosa East wing has continuously earned a more prominent role on her high school and AAU teams as the seasons go. She’s a tweener between a perimeter player and a forward, I see her as a wing, but she can do both, so it’s hard to keep her off the floor. Sellinger did an excellent job as a post at Tosa East, and she’s shown a lot as a wing this summer. Her overall feel for the game is good, and she understands situational basketball, which shows itself on every trip down the floor. Her versatility is valuable.
Vanessa Johnson Vanessa Johnson 5'7" | PG Pewaukee | 2026 State WI
The defense that Johnson possesses is game-altering. Her lateral quickness is there, she’s more physical than most lead guards she’s matched up against, and her instincts to make plays are incredible for a kid that’ll graduate in 2026. From when I first saw her at Pewuakee’s season opener against Notre Dame to now, Johnson looks more comfortable offensively and makes playing on the defensive end look like the easiest thing on the planet. Johnson’s defense will win her team a ton of games from now until she’s not playing basketball.
Samantha Davis Samantha Davis 5'10" | SF Aquinas | 2026 State WI
Davis has to improve on her perimeter scoring, and at times that has been a glaring issue, especially in the state title game against Laconia, but it hasn’t stopped her from being one of the most sought-after 2026’s in the state. Few kids can make as many plays off the dribble and defensively as Davis can. Her athleticism is something to behold, and it’s why she’s usually at the top of any full-court pressure her team rolls out. I believe her shooting will come around and be something people have to defend, and with the track record her brothers have shown, she’ll strive to be the best Davis.
Rachael Chilicki Rachael Chilicki 6'3" | C Mukwonago | 2026 State WI
A name coaches won’t have highlighted coming into the AAU season is Rachael Chilicki Rachael Chilicki 6'3" | C Mukwonago | 2026 State WI . She could be among the best post players in the Midwest in the 2026 class. She’s a 6-3 kid out of Mukwonago with soft hands and the ability to finish with her right or left around the basket. It’s not often you find someone her age who’s coordinated, strong, and puts in as much effort to get up and down the floor as she does. The other thing that makes her even more intriguing is that she has some touch shooting the ball. So she’s this post kid with a good feel for the game with her back to the basket, can finish with either hand and space the floor if needed. That’s not common.
