Ameerah Grant Ameerah Grant 5'5" | PG Brown Deer | 2025 State WI
I’ve seen the Brown Deer and Playground Elite guard a few times. Grant is incredibly creative and quick. Her agility helps her attack gaps in the defense the second they open. She may be undersized, but her basketball IQ will help her solve almost any issue her size could cause. I think she’ll be a kid defense can’t keep in front of them.
Addison Baumgart Addison Baumgart 6'0" | PF Kaukauna | 2025 State WI
The Kaukauna wing/forward can play on the wing or with both feet in the paint. I love the versatility that Baumgart brings. Her willingness to both shoot from the perimeter and roll or fade when she screens. I think that versatility translates to her defensive game. Baumgart is a well-rounded player who still has plenty of room to grow.
Kennedy Retherford Kennedy Retherford 5'8" | SG Pewaukee Highschool | 2025 State WI
The Pewaukee Pirate has an offensive game that will translate wherever she goes. Retherford has an excellent jumper and isn’t afraid to show it off when she finds space. However, she also finishes at the rim with both hands opening her game up. She’s had an excellent spring/summer with Wisconsin Impact.
Ella Francois Ella Francois 5'7" | PG West De Pere | 2025 State WI
There weren’t many players I was as excited to see at Summer Jam as Ella Francois Ella Francois 5'7" | PG West De Pere | 2025 State WI . She’s a 5-foot-5 lead guard who, at times, is the strongest kid on the floor. The West De Pere guard has a good jumper and sees the floor well. On the defensive end, she stays in front of her assignment and stifles opposing guards at the point of attack.
Isabelle Freisleben Isabelle Freisleben 5'11" | PF New Berlin West | 2025 State WI
The versatility that Freisleben brings is impressive. The 5-foot-11 wing has the tools to do anything a coach would ask her to do. She has a background playing in the post and plays down there with a level of comfort that most true fives in the state don’t. However, she has the skills that you’d want in a wing. She can defend on the perimeter, hunt mismatches, handle the ball a little, and space the floor.
Gianna Guarascio Gianna Guarascio 5'9" | SG Ashwaubenon | 2025 WI
When you look at what you’d want a wing to do, Guarascio does all of those things. She’s an athletic 5-foot-9 who understands how to utilize her athleticism. She’s always moving away from the ball to find open shots and has the size to deal with most wings defensively at the high school level. I love watching her operate.
Danica Gosz Danica Gosz 5'8" | SG Germantown | 2025 State WI
It’s not easy for a freshman to find a role on a defending Division 1 state champion, but that’s what Gosz did. Her shooting got her onto the floor for a team that made a sectional final, and there’s much more she can do to elevate her game. She’s shown that she reads the game well this summer and has made some plays defensively, along with her offensive game being much more than just shooting.
Olivia Witkowski Olivia Witkowski 6'0" | PF Weyawega-Freemont | 2025 State WI
I love the ceiling that Witkowski has defensively. She’s an athletic 6-foot forward who uses agility to jump passing lanes and block shots. I’ve seen her play well against solid teams this summer. Her offensive game is also more advanced than she may get credit for, but she’s an intriguing prospect.
Savanna Robinson Savanna Robinson 5'8" | SG Kaukauna | 2025 State WI
As a freshman, Robinson made an impact. She earned a starting role and played well for the most part in a competitive sectional semifinal against Germantown. Robinson doesn’t turn the ball over much and helps run an efficient offense anywhere the guard plays. She has a lot of momentum heading into her sophomore season.
Emily Vogel Emily Vogel 5'10" | CG St. Mary Catholic | 2025 State WI
Vogel performed the best on the Wisconsin Blizzard 15u team. The only hiccup is I don’t know what her best position is right now, but, in the long run, that could be a good thing. She’s an athletic kid who earned steals in the backcourt and showed a lot of ability with the ball. She could help St. Mary Catholic a lot this high school season.
Ellie Schiszik Ellie Schiszik 5'5" | PG Elk Mound | 2025 State WI
The Elk Mound guard already understands how to dictate the flow of a game. She doesn’t force anything, even though she can get hot quickly. Of all the shooting games I’ve heard of, Schiszik’s 11 3-pointer performance against Spring Valley sits at No. 1 in the state. Her offensive skills are advanced, and she already has the mental aspect of the game.
