2027s to Know This AAU Season

Before the AAU season starts for me this weekend, I wanted to highlight a few players to know, before we begin this four-month run of grassroots basketball. There are plenty of players who will make their mark in some way, shape, or form over the next few months. However, I'd like to put some names out there for college coaches to have on their radar, and hopefully see play at some point this coming spring and summer. Again, there will be plenty more players we highlight over the course of the next few months, but here are a few names to know before coaches start heading out and seeing players in a different setting.   [player_tooltip player_id='751243' first='Ava' last='Vogler']   The Sun Prairie native is among the most natural scorers in the state and possesses the tools to be a player who thrives at the next level. Vogler is a confident player who plays stronger than her frame would suggest. She's a multi-sport athlete at the high school level who could develop more quickly than some may think once all her focus shifts towards basketball.   [player_tooltip player_id='751263' first='Kennedi' last='Harden']   The Madison native is one of the best ball-handlers in the junior class around Wisconsin. Any offense she plays will run better with Harden as the primary ball handler. She is a pass-first player at her core, but has the skill to beat her defender off the dribble, and may be a better shooter than she thinks. There are plenty of tools she has to help a program at the next level.   [player_tooltip player_id='751271' first='Madilyn' last='Davel']   The Neillsville native has been a crucial part of the past three Neillsville teams, which have been competitive every season, winning a State Championship last season. Davel is a solid ball handler who can organize an offense and get her teammates involved offensively. She is also a talented scorer who can create off the dribble, knock down jumpers, and get to the basket. She is a player who could be an intriguing talent to follow this summer.   [player_tooltip player_id='751255' first='Delaney' last='Rauch']   The Port Washington wing has all the physical tools scholarship programs look for in wings. She is a physical 6-0 player who has the athletic tools to make plays off the dribble, space the floor, and read the defense with the ball in her hands. She also has the athletic tools to be an intriguing and versatile defensive prospect who can help any team she plays for potentially be a more versatile group.
