(6-3/175 – East Troy – East Troy, WI)
A hard-nosed blue collar wing with range, Dodge can fill it up from beyond the arc while also scoring in transition and making solid plays on both ends of the court.  Deceptively athletic vertically, Dodge has a nice feel for the game and makes positive things happen on the court in addition to being able to knock down jumpers from anywhere on the floor.  Holds an offer from Army with interest also coming from South Dakota State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, etc.

One of the premiere 2013 marksmen left on the board in the country, Fuller can fill it up from anywhere on the court and showed an improved ability to score off the bounce, finish in transition, and knock down mid-range looks this past spring.  He also attacked the glass well and showed a versatile inside-outside offensive package at times while delivering some explosive performances against some of the best teams and prospects in the country.  He currently holds offers from Butler, Creighton, Dayton, Drake, Nebraska, Rice, Toledo, UW-Green Bay, and UW-Milwaukee with interest also coming from the likes of Minnesota, Northwestern, Boston College, and Iowa amongst others.  One to pay close attention to in July as a huge performance for him could see his recruiting stock soar.

JARVIS GARRETT – 2013 – PG – TP ELITE
(5-11/155 – West Allis Central H.S. – Milwaukee, WI)
One of the most underrated prospects in the country, Garrett has been stellar throughout the spring while helping lead his squad to a number of championships.  Quick, instinctive, and skilled with handles and a true playmaker mentality, Garrett slashes through defenses in transition and finds ways to consistently control the tempo while making his teammates better.  He can deliver passes in transition and half court sets, has breakdown skills that he utilizes to attack the rim and finish off the bounce, and he showed an improved ability to knock down the mid-range jumper as well as the trey ball this spring.  Illinois, Creighton, Xavier, Nebraska, USC, TCU, Dayton, Montana, UW-Milwaukee, and North Texas are some of the schools interested in Garrett headed into July.

(6-7/190 – Little Chute H.S. – Little Chute, WI)
A sleeper in the 2013 class, Lowe has been impressive at times this spring while showcasing his instincts, range, and athleticism.  Can play either forward spot with success as he can score around the basket but also has the ability to step away and drop in the jumper as well.  A solid athlete with nice rebounding instincts, Lowe is another below the radar talent whose stock could soar with a strong month of July.  One to watch closely this month as he’s a sleeper in the truest sense of the word.  Currently collecting some interest from UW-Green Bay as well as MN Morehead, Mary, etc.

Note (1) - This list was exclusive to current 2013 prospects so 2012 G Chris Golden of Wisconsin Lutheran H.S. and TP Elite was not included as he has not yet made the decision to reclassify to the 2013 class.  He is expected to play with the TP Elite program in July and is one of the top available 2012 prospects left on the board.

Note (2) – 2013 G/F A.J. Mueller would’ve been included in this list but he suffered an injury in May and will not play during the month of July.  Mueller of Marquette H.S. had put together an excellent spring campaign with the Wisconsin Shooters and had shown a nice floor game with range and a solid skill package with consistency.  Our best wishes to A.J. on a speedy recovery.
