Other Notable 2025s Heading into July's Live Periods

The AAU careers of the class of 2025 are winding down, and they only have about two or three weeks left in this time of their lives. We have rising seniors looking for a home at the next level, so let's talk about a few.    Quietly, Stallings has become one of the most explosive scorers in Wisconsin. She nearly had 50 in a game for Delavan-Darien last season, which is impressive no matter who it comes against. Stallings has a silky-smooth jumper she can get off the dribble or catch. The part that excites me about her is her overall athleticism. Stallings went to the state track meet in multiple events and has that explosion when she pushes the ball in transition or uses her first step to get by her initial defender.     The West De Pere wing is a player who can break games open with her shooting. Playing with talented guards allows Berggren to move on the perimeter, find open pockets of space, and punish defenses. She's hit perimeter shots in bunches all summer, and programs have already seen how she can elevate a lineup on the floor. I've thought she's played some of the best basketball I've seen her play, and that's translated into college coaches having significant interest in her this AAU season.     I've always liked Bierowski's tenacity as a defender, especially on the perimeter, but she's physical enough to switch onto some bigs occasionally. She's also gotten more confident since I first saw her play a few years ago. She also doesn't hesitate when she gets opportunities to shoot from the perimeter, which speaks to her confidence growing over time. Her skill set has come along in the past few years, and with how physical she is on the floor, she's a kid who can play at the next level.     Players like Welsch elevate how good a team can be over a season. Welsch is a wing who loves to get to the basket and is as relentless whenever she puts the ball on the floor. She loves using her pivot game or spin move when attacking the rim, and it usually ends up with her finishing at the rim or getting to the free-throw line. Now that Welsch was healthy for a season, she's proven to be a solid perimeter shooter, which adds to the appeal of her game. There's not much she can't do, and Welsch is willing to do all the stuff that goes without any reward. She sprints up and down the floor, takes charges, plays through contact, and creates extra possessions in any way possible. The Catholic Memorial wing is the kind of player coaches love having.
