Adaline Sheplee Adaline Sheplee 6'2" | CG Rice Lake | 2026 State WI
Few schools are making a trek up to Rice Lake, Wisconsin. She got the attention of schools from the upper Midwest at Team Wisconsin , but playing in the EYBL allows her to show her skillset in front of every major program in the country at once. Her size, athleticism, skill, passion, and motor make her one of the most intriguing prospects nationally that most people around the country don’t know about. There’s a chance she could blow up after this weekend in a way even Sheplee may not comprehend yet.
Leah Nordin Leah Nordin 6'1" | PF Shawano | 2026 State WI
Another prospect from Northern Wisconsin. Nordin is a versatile athlete with a high ceiling on both ends of the floor. The Shawnao native is a tough shot-maker and does an excellent job creating something out of nothing on the offensive end of the floor. Nordin has length and foot speed, which suggests she could be a high-level defender in the paint or on the perimeter. Over this summer, Nordin will generate plenty of interest from around the Midwest.
Libby Gilmore Libby Gilmore 5'9" | SG Arrowhead | 2026 State WI
There aren’t many 2026s I appreciate watching more than Libby Gilmore Libby Gilmore 5'9" | SG Arrowhead | 2026 State WI . The Arrowhead guard does a little of everything on the offensive end of the floor and usually takes the best perimeter player on the opposing team she goes up against. Gilmore may not always have stats that pop off the screen, but she’s someone coaches will have a hard time taking off the floor. As coaches continue to watch her play, I feel they’ll slowly fall in love with what she does in her minutes. Her teams win all the time for a reason.
McLain has all the physical tools to excel on both ends of the floor. She’s a physical 6-0 wing who can score it from all three levels, guard multiple positions, and pass the ball well from the perimeter. Her shooting is also something that could set her apart.McLain could find a groove, make three or four three-pointers in a half, and swing a game. She’s got the skillset and physical tools that could be useful for schools at the scholarship level, and she could pop this weekend in Virginia.
