Preseason Division One Rankings

I did my early thoughts so now time to look at each division individually. These rankings are my own and really don't mean anything and are purely just for my own entertainment and see how close they finish out at the end of the year. I will also admit that I do get a little help from the Wisconsin Basketball Yearkbook. So anyway here are my D1 rankings.

1. Racine Park- A team with a ton of talent and a ton of experience in seniors 6'9 Nobal Days and 6'3 Larry Canady. If this team is able to push the tempo I'm not sure anyone in the state can keep up with them.
2. Brookfield Central- They've had a ton of success in the past three season and the main reasons for that is their guard play led by a pair of seniors in 6'0 Gage Malensek and 6'3 Ben Nau. Malensek and Nau form the best back court in the state in my opinion. A state title will probably hinge on the play of 6'6 sophomore David Joplin who was a double digit scorer a year ago.
3. Hamilton Sussex- A state team a year ago and they have one of the elite sophomores in the country in 6'8 Patrick Balldwin Jr they also bring back three other starters from that team that got to state.
4. Waukesha West- Took this one from the yearbook but, looking at the numbers make sense. Bring back four starters that all average double digits from a team that won 16 games a year ago. They are led by 6'10 senior David Skogman who is evidently a D1 scholarship player at some big time schools.
5. Madison Memorial- Memorial has gotten to be just a given to be in the top 10 and they have three senior starters back with a ton of experience. 6'4 Ian Brown is working on his fourth year, while 6'4 Nick Caropreso and 6'2 Cade Ellingson are on their third.
6. Kimberly- Took this one from the year book a bit but, 6'5 senior Levi Nienhaus'Borchert is back after averaging a double double a year ago and they received a talented transfer in 6'6 senior Reed Miller who was a double digit scorer for Marshfield last year.
7. Brookfield East- Lost in the state championship game a year and bring back three starters from that team. 6'2 junior Sam McGath had a great state showing and that should carry into this year.
8. Oshkosh West- Took a flyer on this one to be honest. 6'10 senior Luke Haasl is ranked 10th in the class and should have a big year as a senior and West always brings a talented team.
9. Madison La Follette- Another team with a great senior back court in 5'8 Donneil Gray and 5'11 Troy Reeves. If they are allowed to push the tempo and they basically can at will they can play with anyone in the state. Height is a concern though.
10. Franklin- Had a tremendous record last year going 22-2 and they bring back a pair of starters. Hey the yearbook has them ranked in the top 10 as well.
