Class of 2028: Top Five

The updated class rankings for 2028 went live yesterday. Today, we'll look at the top ten kids in the class in two separate articles, as always. We'll look at some new additions in a class that went from 50 ranked players to 100, along with some stock risers in the rising sophomore class.   [player_tooltip player_id='874372' first='Nyajuacni' last='Riak']   The La Follette wing is among the most talented athletes to play in the state of Wisconsin. The 6'2 sophomore is a player who can score from anywhere on the court and is among the most athletic players in the state, if not the most. She had a standout first season of high school basketball and was invited to Team USA trials over the summer. Riak will be an entertaining player to watch develop and will give her team a chance to compete whenever she's on the floor.   [player_tooltip player_id='880796' first='Kinsley' last='Ketterhagen']   The Oostburg wing helped lead the Lady Dutch to hoist the Division 3 crown last winter, and excelled in her team's semifinal game against Laconia. Her ability to score at all three levels opens the floor up for her teammates, and she may be the best tough-shot maker in Wisconsin. When Ketterhagen is at her most confident, she is the best mid-range shooter in Wisconsin and can score in bunches.   [player_tooltip player_id='936786' first='Leah' last='Awe']   The Stevens Point wing/forward had a breakout end to her AAU campaign. Awe became an intriguing player in Wisconsin, according to P4 coaches. Her 6'3 frame, along with her ability to make plays by putting the ball on the floor, is something you won't find with many kids her size. She became a more consistent offensive threat in July and has always used her length to be an excellent interior defender with the potential to become a better perimeter defender. From where she was a year ago, heading into her first season, she's improved tenfold.   [player_tooltip player_id='888387' first='Lana' last='Mannetter']   The Westosha Central wing is the best at getting to the rim and finishing that I've seen her in class. She has the power and speed to get the basket whenever she wants. Mannetter's ability to find driving lanes and power to the basket helps her excel in that aspect of the game that few others have in my time in Wisconsin. She is also a solid perimeter threat, forcing her defender to stay close. Unfortunately, Mannetter will miss this season due to a knee injury, and I'm sure we all wish her the best in recovery. I'm hopeful she can come back in the future and be the version of herself we all know she can.   [player_tooltip player_id='1173395' first='Norah' last='Kling']   The Eau Claire Memorial guard/wing is potentially the defender with the most potential as a perimeter defender. Kling started this last season as a defender, trying to find her place within a deep Old Abes group. However, as the season went on, Kling became one of the most promising underclassmen in the state. Her ability to score offensively, paired with what she can do offensively, is impressive. She may be the steal of the class if she wants to play basketball at the next level.
