Madison365 Sports and TYBC have watched Wisconsin’s Class of 2030 girls basketball players for the past several years. That has given us an opportunity to evaluate more than where players are today. We have watched their growth, seen their games evolve and watched how they respond as the competition gets better.
For these rankings, we considered players who live in Wisconsin and attend school in Wisconsin. Where they play AAU basketball does not matter. Some of the players on this list compete for Wisconsin-based programs, while others travel outside the state to play for AAU programs in other states. If a player lives and attends school in Wisconsin, she was eligible to be evaluated and ranked.
Our evaluations have come from a variety of settings. We have watched many of these players compete in middle school leagues, including some playing against older competition, and have followed them throughout multiple AAU seasons. We have also watched players in small-group training environments and spent considerable time studying film. When reliable statistics have been available, we have considered those as another part of the evaluation.
Two particularly valuable evaluation opportunities have been the Travis Diener Camp and the TYBC Showcases. We have evaluated this class at both events over the past two years. These settings are important because they bring many of the top players in Wisconsin together on the same floor. Instead of trying to compare players competing against completely different levels of competition, we get opportunities to watch many of the state’s best players compete directly against one another. We also evaluated players at this year’s Prep Hoops Freshman Showcase.
The rankings are not based on one tournament, one summer or simply who scores the most points. We considered basketball IQ, ball handling, passing, scoring and shooting ability, finishing, defensive ability and versatility, athleticism, mental toughness, attitude and a player’s impact on winning. We also considered upside and level of competition, including how players performed when competing against older, stronger or higher-level opponents.
No evaluation process is perfect, particularly with players who are just beginning high school. These rankings are a snapshot of where Madison365 Sports and TYBC believe the class stands today, not a prediction of where every player will eventually finish. Players will grow. Games will change. Some players will make significant jumps over the next four years, and the rankings will evolve with them.
What makes this group particularly exciting is its depth. Wisconsin’s Class of 2030 has a chance to be one of the deepest girls basketball classes the state has seen in a long time. There is significant talent throughout the Top 75, and there are players outside this initial list who could work their way into future rankings.
1. Reese Brown | 5’11” | SG/SF | Divine Savior Holy Angels
2026 AAU: 4C | 2027 AAU: Team Prime | Nike EYBL
Brown remains at No. 1 because there are few things on a basketball court she cannot do. A true Swiss Army knife, she combines size and athleticism with the versatility to score, rebound, defend multiple positions and make plays for teammates. Brown had another strong AAU season with 4C and earned Madison365 Sports First Team All-AAU honors. Her defensive versatility is particularly valuable, as she has the strength, length and athleticism to guard multiple positions while also creating problems in transition.
As Brown moves into high school basketball, leadership becomes an important part of her progression. Having her presence and communication consistently match her considerable ability on the court would add another dimension to an already complete game. She will join Team Prime and compete on the Nike EYBL circuit for the 2027 AAU season.
2. Nicklyn Lile | 6’0″ | Wing | Elkhorn
AAU: Wisconsin Lakers | Girls Under Armour circuit (GUAA)
Lile’s combination of length, skill and versatility makes her one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. At 6’0″, she handles the ball well for her size, rebounds and has the versatility to impact the game on both ends. She spent the 2026 season playing up with the Wisconsin Lakers’ 15U team on the Girls Under Armour circuit (GUAA), giving her valuable experience against older, stronger competition.
During GUAA play, Lile recorded 52 points, 54 rebounds and 24 assists. Her rebounding and assist numbers illustrate the different ways she can contribute beyond scoring. Perimeter shooting remains an area with considerable room for growth after she shot 10 percent from three-point range during GUAA play. Becoming more comfortable against physical defenders while adding a consistent outside shot could make her particularly difficult to match up with at her size.
3. Talia Sanders | 5’9″ | PG/CG | Edgewood
2027 AAU: Purple Aces | Adidas 3SSB
Sanders’ athleticism and two-way ability continue to stand out. Before suffering a season-ending injury, she had established herself as one of the better on-ball defenders and midrange scorers in the class. In her final game before the injury, Sanders scored 18 points with six rebounds and three steals despite leaving the game four minutes before halftime. She has the strength and athleticism to defend multiple positions and the ability to create her own shot off the dribble.
Sanders currently projects as a combo guard, with three-point shooting representing the biggest opportunity to expand her offensive game. A consistent threat from beyond the arc would complement an already strong midrange game and give her the ability to score at all three levels. Sanders begins her high school career at Edgewood and will play for the Purple Aces on the Adidas 3SSB circuit in 2027.
4. Madison Morris | 5’8″ | PG/SG | Dominican
2026 AAU: Team Herro | Nike Jr. EYBL
2027 AAU: Team Herro | Nike EYCL
No Wisconsin player in the Class of 2030 made a bigger statement during the 2026 AAU season than Morris. Playing for Team Herro against high-level Nike Jr. EYBL competition, she averaged 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 78 percent from the free-throw line.
Morris has a scorer’s mentality and uses her physicality extremely well, particularly when attacking the lane and finishing through contact. But her numbers show why her impact extends beyond scoring. She rebounds well for a guard, creates opportunities for teammates and can make an impact defensively. Her production and impact on winning earned her Madison365 Sports’ 2026 AAU Player of the Year award.
Adding a more consistent three-point shot would make an already difficult cover even tougher. Morris also plays with considerable competitive fire, and learning to channel that emotion consistently in ways that help her and her team will be important as the competition gets tougher. She enters Dominican as one of the most accomplished players in Wisconsin’s freshman class and will move up with Team Herro to compete on the Nike EYCL circuit in 2027.
5. Hannah Langebartles | 6’1″ | Wing/Forward | Wisconsin Lutheran
AAU: Chapman
Langebartles has one of the more intriguing combinations of size, shooting and basketball IQ in the class. At 6’1″, she can function as a stretch forward, knock down shots from beyond the arc and defend multiple positions. Her ability to stretch the floor at her size creates matchup problems because defenders have to respect her away from the basket.
She also proved herself against older competition during the summer, playing up at 15U and helping Chapman win the 15U Elite40 Championship. The question now is how consistently she imposes herself on games. Langebartles has the tools to be a significant offensive presence, and becoming more assertive when defenders crowd her or take away space could elevate her impact considerably.
6. Nyagol Riak | 6’2″ | SF/PF | Madison La Follette
AAU: Example Sports
Riak may have the highest physical upside of any player in Wisconsin’s 2030 class. At 6’2″, she combines length and athleticism with the ability to run the floor and handle the basketball unusually well for her size. She attacks the basket with either hand, rebounds at a high level and has already developed into one of the class’s most disruptive shot blockers.
Her game took another significant step during the 2026 AAU season. Madison365 Sports named her its Breakout Player of the Year and selected her to the All-Defensive Team. College programs have noticed as well. Before playing her first high school game, Riak has already received Division I scholarship offers from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Florida.
For Riak, the ceiling will be determined by how far she can take the skill portion of her game. Refining her offensive repertoire and bringing the same impact from possession to possession would make her unusual combination of size, length and mobility even more difficult to deal with.
7. Greta Schliewe | 5’10” | Wing/Forward | Sheboygan Falls
AAU: Wisconsin Lakers | Girls Under Armour circuit (GUAA)
Schliewe’s rise to No. 7 has been driven by production, physicality and her ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Playing up with the Wisconsin Lakers’ 15U team on the GUAA circuit, the 5’10” wing led the team in scoring with 97 points while also recording 49 rebounds, 21 assists and 16 steals. That production came while competing against older players throughout the summer.
Schliewe plays physically, embraces contact and finishes efficiently around the basket. Her 49 rebounds reinforce that her impact goes well beyond scoring. More perimeter creation is the piece that could broaden her game. Improving her handle and becoming more comfortable creating offense away from the basket would give defenders another problem to solve.
8. Avery Check | 5’5″ | PG/SG | La Crosse Logan
AAU: Wisconsin Lakers | Girls Under Armour circuit (GUAA)
Check’s basketball IQ, competitiveness and decision-making continue to separate her. She played up with the Wisconsin Lakers’ 15U team during the 2026 AAU season and showed an ability to compete against the speed and physicality of older players. Check understands pace, makes good decisions with the basketball and plays with a competitiveness that consistently shows up in winning situations.
Her performance earned her Madison365 Sports Second Team All-AAU recognition. Becoming equally comfortable attacking and finishing to her left would give her another weapon offensively, while continued growth defensively will be important against bigger high school guards. Her feel for the game already gives her a strong foundation.
9. Xoey Bluth | 5’9″ | PG/SG | Columbus Catholic
2026 AAU: Team Wisconsin | 2027 AAU: Purple Aces | Adidas 3SSB
Bluth made one of the biggest jumps in Wisconsin’s Class of 2030 over the past year. She has established herself as a natural scorer capable of putting together 20-point performances, but her game extends beyond scoring. At 5’9″, she has good size and physicality for a guard, rebounds well and competes defensively. Her breakout summer with Team Wisconsin earned her Madison365 Sports First Team All-AAU recognition.
Bluth’s athleticism and competitiveness are evident in the way she attacks the game. She can create her own offense, plays with confidence and has shown the ability to score in bunches. Becoming more comfortable finishing through contact and attacking to her left would make her even harder to contain off the dribble. Bluth will move to the Purple Aces for the 2027 AAU season and compete on the Adidas 3SSB circuit.
10. Rylea Kratky | 6’1″ | PF/CG | Kettle Moraine
AAU: Team Prime | Nike EYBL
If there is one word that describes Kratky, it is winner. Her teams combined to go 97-9 across AAU and middle school basketball this year, and her game is built around many of the things that translate to winning. At 6’1″, she brings size, strength and versatility, can defend multiple positions and possesses more ball skill and passing ability than a traditional post player.
Kratky can score around the basket, rebound and protect the paint, while her ability to handle the basketball gives her intriguing long-term versatility. She projects as a stretch four as her perimeter game continues to grow. Developing more options with her back to the basket, becoming even more physical in the paint and extending her shooting range would make her versatility even more valuable at the next level.
