This week, The Youth Basketball Convention (TYBC) announced its rankings of the top girls players in Wisconsin from the class of 2030. These athletes are currently in eighth grade, and the rankings reflect where they are right now in a long journey that will continue to unfold between this moment and when they graduate from high school. Evaluations were based on live viewings at the TYBC Showcase, the Travis Diener Invitational Camp, the 2025 AAU season, and ongoing observation through club league competition.
A lot will change between now and high school graduation. Growth is rarely linear, and rankings are best understood as snapshots in time rather than final judgments. These rankings are meant to encourage growth, not comparison, and to honor the work already done while recognizing there is still so much ahead. With that perspective, Madison365 has chosen to include brief write ups on the Top 10 players from the TYBC rankings to recognize both current impact and future potential.
To every athlete named on this list, congratulations. Earning a spot in the Top 75 is not a small accomplishment. It reflects countless hours of work, commitment, and love for the game. Whether you are ranked first or seventy fifth, you belong here.
TYBC will announce additional girls basketball rankings in the near future to continue their commitment to supporting, developing, and celebrating Wisconsin’s next generation of players.
