As we move from the high school season and towards the grassroots season, it’s worth looking at the junior class and some must see players for college coaches.

Mohammad Badwan – 2027 – G – Salam

Badwan is an under the radar guard who has just continued to produce. Even as one of the region’s top scorers, Badwan is not found amongst the Wisconsin’s top 2027 guards. In his junior season, Badwan averaged a staggering 34.9 points in addition to 11.2 rebounds. He has some size at 6’3” and a strong build plus is a true three level scorer who can also create for himself.

Isaiah Fox – 2027 – PG – West Allis Central

Fox is one of a few standouts on a very good West Allis Central team who had a very good high school season. As well to averaging 15.4 points while shooting nearly 60% from the field he also dished out 4.3 assists and had 3.2 steals per game. He has proven to be one of the top point guards in Wisconsin’s 2027 class and is a true standout on both sides of the ball. Fox is a quick and athletic point guard with a great ability to get deep into the paint and be a playmaker. Fox already has received several division one offers.

Will Krueger – 2027 – G/F – De Pere

There are few players in Wisconsin who have continued to grow their game as much at Krueger over the past year. After a stellar breakout grassroots season with the Wisconsin Legends last year, he continued that high level of play into his junior season. This included winning conference player of the year while averaging 16.4 points and 5.1 rebounds. Krueger is a high-level shooter paired with his great athleticism. He has picked up multiple division two offers and should see even greater scholarship level interest in the months to come.

Evan Ploeckelman – 2027 – SF – Mukwonago

After showing flashes earlier in his high school career, Plockelman has truly arrived in his junior season and needs to be a popular target this spring. He produced a big stat line in the season headlined by 22.4 points along with 7.7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He is a 6’6” wing forward who has shown great development in his game to have a very well-rounded skill set. He can use his size to be effective playing in the post but also plays well on the perimeter including hitting over 40% of his threes this season.

Perry Tchiegne – 2027 – G – Benet Academy

It is just a matter of time before Tchiegne becomes a popular name amongst college coaches. There are few, if any, juniors in Illinois who can match his defensive ability. He has good positional size as a 6’4” guard with a good build in addition to his athleticism and motor. Between his play with Benet and the Illinois Wolves, he has proven to be an elite defender who can shut down multiple positions.
