Division One Preseason Rankings

I'm finally back with a real post and I just hope that I haven't lost all my followers. Same way every season starts with the preseason rankings. Once again the rankings are based solely on my own thoughts  and really have no meeting whatsoever other then just some fun. I will continue to update my rankings throughout the year purely as my own fun. So without further adu here are my preseason rankings for division one......

1. Germantown- Final eight team a year ago that lost on a buzzer shot. Bring back everyone but, one player and have a ton of height in 6'9 junior Luke Fischer, 6'7 senior Daniel Studer, and a pair of 6'6 sophs in Evan Wesenberg and Jon Averkamp. They are led by Badger recruit 6'2 senior Zak Showalter and fellow three year starter 5'11 senior Josh Mongan.
2. Madison Memorial- The defending state champs bring back three starters in 6'5 senior Junior Lomomba, 6'6 senior Jamar Morris, and 6'1  junior Brendan Ortiz. Throw in 6'4 Ngijol Songolio and 6'4 junior Jester Weah who each started large portions of last year and they have a starting lineup as good as any in the state.
3. Milwaukee Riverside- City conference champs a year ago may have the tallest team in the state with 6'5 senior Jalen Currie, a pair of 6'8 juniors in D'Andre Downey and RaVonn Posey, 6'9 sophomore Robert Harris, and if allowed to be eligible 6'10 senior Phil Nolan. Also bring back their starting back court the Shomari and Bakari Triggs 5'10 seniors.
4. Milwaukee King- King is just penciled in every year to the top ten. They have 6'5 senior Arroyo Edwards but, outside of him they have no one over 6'2 but, they have a great coach and have lots of great guards on the team.
5. Milwaukee Hamilton- Final four team a year ago bring back three starters in 6'7 sophomore Kevin Looney, 6'5 sophomore David Burrell, and 6'6 senior Itavian Belcher. Another Milwaukee school with a great coach.
6. De Pere- State runner ups return a pair of D1 recruits in 6'6 senior Brett Vanden Bergh and 6'3 senior Jordan Poydras as well as some very talented underclassmen.
7. Oshkosh North- Always tough Spartans led by 6'5 senior Izaiah Anderson.
8. Menomonee Falls- Have one of the biggest recruits ever for Wisconsin in North Carolina recruit 6'6 senior JP Tokoto. Also have 6'1 senior CJ Malone back and bring in a jv player thats 7'2 in senior Ryan Bross.
9. Brookfield Central- Honestly only have them here because the yearbook has them listed real high. Have five players taller then 6'4 and bring back their top scorer in 6'4 senior Seth Mortag.
10. Sheboygan North- 19 win team a year ago return their top two scorers in 6'1 senior Devin Yurk and 6'0 junior Ethan Guske.
11. Racine Park- Have loads of talent so hopefully they can put it together now that most of that talent is seniors this year.
12. Homestead- Yearbook seems to think they will have alot of success and have alot of talent in their underclassman.
13. Bay Port- Won 20 games a year ago and have some very strong tradition it seems now and bring back three starters.
14. Burlington- Surprise 20 win team a year ago lost alot of starters but, bring back much of their bench and a very strong jv team.
15. Racine Case- Honestly basing this on the amount of success they had last year.

Well there are my D1 rankings for the preseason. I typed them up pretty quickly but, I have been thinking about these rankings for about the past three months. I feel very confident in my top 10 the rest well its just a crap shoot.
