Ahead of the July evaluation period, NY2LA Sports examines 10 Wisconsin prospects who should see their stock take off in July…
Keegan Van Kauwenberg – 2025 – G – Kaukauna/Wisconsin Crusaders
There aren’t many players, if any, playing better than Van Kauwenberg right now. Rising up to No. 10 in our Wisconsin rankings, Van Kauwenberg is having routine 30-point games and even hitting 40. The 6-foot-3 senior was always a deadly outside shooter, but is now developing into a terrific combo guard who can play the point effectively. Now a three-level scorer who can post up or work in the fall away game, Van Kauwenberg is comfortable from anywhere on the floor. Don’t sleep on his defense either. Van Kauwenberg has excellent anticipation skills and plays the passing lanes. Division 2 programs are rushing in, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Kaukauna star end up at the D1 level given his lanky body type that will fill out down the road and his all-around skillset.
Eli Krueger – 2027 – C – McFarland/Wisconsin Swing
Is he going to blow up recruiting-wise? No. Krueger is just too young, but I think he’ll widely be considered one of the top bigs in the state after this summer. Have seen Krueger compete against high-level talent in AAU and at Wisconsin’s advanced camp. He’s certainly got D1 potential as a mobile, 6-foot-9 center with good hands. Krueger does a lot of things that young bigs struggle with — catching the ball in traffic and keeping it high, not panicking against double teams, and winning post position early, before the ball ever touches the paint. Think he’s got some untapped versatility as well as a kid who can handle and shoot the ball from beyond the arc.
Vaughn Karvala – 2026 – SF – Oregon/Team Herro
Karvala is the clear-cut No. 1 prospect in Wisconsin after the spring. He’s on a big upward trajectory right now with no end in sight. Marquette and Wisconsin have both gotten in early, but Purdue, Iowa State, and others are lurking. If Karvala plays the way he did in May, he could more than double his offer list by the end of July. A lanky, explosive wing that can shoot it and who contributes across the board and impacts winning, Karvala is an easy offer for a lot of programs.
Aaron Womack – 2025 – W – Dominican/Wisconsin Playground Club
Womack is a different player than he was a year ago. A long, lanky sniper, Womack is now attacking and playing like a demon thanks to some added strength and athleticism. Womack was a finesse, hand-down, man-down shooter early in his career. Now, he’s coming for heads, playing physically, and wanting to dominate games. A high-upside prospect who could also defend 3-4 positions at the next level thanks to his length and lateral quickness, Womack has scholarship offers from Illinois State, Buffalo, Illinois-Chicago, and Murray State.
Andrew Jensen – 2026 – F/C – Kaukauna/All Wisconsin
Illinois, Marquette, and West Virginia all offered Jensen when he was very raw. The Kaukauna product still has a long way to go in his development, but should be much less of a risk now. Rising up to No. 2 in our state rankings, Jensen has shown quite a bit of promise. His back to the basket game looks better as does his 3-point shot and hands around the basket. Jensen is a terrific athlete who runs the floor as well as any big, maybe in the country, and can make momentum-changing plays above the rim.
Pryce Gregoire – 2025 – SF – De Pere/Davis Brothers Elite
Gregoire is peaking at the right time and now playing his best ball. Holding a handful of Division 2 offers, Gregoire might be trending towards the Division 1 level. At 6-foot-6, Gregoire is a sneaky athletic sniper who’s starting to become a handful inside the arc. He’s got a sweet stroke from downtown, but getting a lot more confident as a slasher. Defensively, Gregoire is pretty versatile as well. While he might not look the part, there’s a noticeable chip he plays with on that end of the floor to provide some toughness.
Luka Momcilovic – 2025 – F – Pewaukee/Chapman Basketball Academy
Knew he’d get there at some point, but Momcilovic is now developing into a solid Division 2 prospect. The 6-foot-7 combo forward can score inside and out and is very effective when he catches in the high post, using a fall away game or lowering his shoulder and finishing through contact. More of a finesse big coming up, Momcilovic has gotten stronger, more aggressive, and certainly tougher when he’s playing around the rim.
Kayden Schultz – 2026 – SG – Plymouth/Chapman Basketball Academy North
The secret is out on Schultz, who turned heads at the WBCA June Jam. Division 2 programs will have no problem lining up early for Schultz, who is a dangerous scorer with a killer instinct. At 6-foot-4 and still two years left of high school, Schultz certainly has a chance to play at the Division 1 level as well. Featuring a deep bag of tricks, Schultz can get whenever he wants with the basketball and is a threat to score any time that ball is in his possession. Able to carry a team offensively, Schultz has no off switch and doesn’t run out of gas.
Donovan Davis – 2027 – F – Freedom/Team Herro
Davis was kind of reserved in EYBL play, but had his moments. You can see him starting to believe and that confidence should only take off after Wisconsin offered a scholarship last month. You don’t see many 6-foot-7 muscular forwards move like Davis. At his size, length, and athletic ability, Davis has a chance to develop into a serious mismatch problem. He handles the ball, shows off an intriguing isolation game on the perimeter, and is a terrific offensive rebounder and passer as well. It’s early, but wouldn’t be surprised to see Davis generate a lot more high major interest in July.
Jacob Hibner – 2026 – SG – Stoughton/Wisconsin Academy
Hibner has emerged as a Division 2 prospect over the last few months. Starting to play really fast and making quick, good decisions, the Stoughton native is making it look easy out on the floor. A knockdown shooter with a quick, smooth release, Hibner gets the green light whenever he wants it. He plays well off the ball, able to read what a defender is doing, and then take advantage via a screen or back cut. Good blend of strength, athleticism, and toughness here as well for a two-guard.
