WISCONSIN DELLS, WI – Nearly 100 boys basketball players from across Wisconsin gathered at the JustAgame Fieldhouse on Friday, August 1st, for the second annual Midwest College Exposure Camp. With college coaches from around the Midwest on hand, the event gave rising talent from the 2026 through 2029 classes a chance to showcase their skills in front of the next level.
Among those who made a strong impression were athletes from Menominee Nation, New London, Seymour, and Oconto Falls, each bringing something unique to the hardwood.
From Menominee Nation, Kenew Awonohopay stood out as an explosive slasher and tough finisher. At 6-foot-2, he played even taller, consistently attacking the rim with athleticism and body control. His ability to finish through and over defenders turned heads and hinted at untapped potential, especially as his frame continues to grow.
Joseph Daly of New London was among the most polished forwards in attendance. The 6-foot-7 senior was dominant on both ends, displaying a versatile offensive arsenal that included rebounding, scoring from deep, and getting easy buckets in transition. Daly enters his final high school season with over 1,000 career points and 500 rebounds and looked every bit the part of a college-ready athlete.
In the frontcourt, Kyler Marks from Seymour showcased his strength and skill as a 6-foot-5 forward who averaged over 20 points per game last season. Marks was a matchup nightmare, using his ball-handling, physicality, and scoring instincts to dominate in the paint and stretch the floor when needed. With Seymour projected to be one of the top teams in Division 3 this season, Marks’ presence will be central to their success.
From Oconto Falls, rising junior JJ Pytleski demonstrated a well-rounded and composed game at the guard position. At 6-foot-3, he consistently made the right reads, attacking the basket, dishing to open teammates, or pulling up confidently from three. Known for shooting 33% from deep last season, Pytleski knocked down several triples during the camp, proving that his offseason work is paying off.
With college coaches leading both skill sessions and in-game coaching, the exposure camp continues to serve as a key stepping stone for Wisconsin’s up-and-coming players. The performances from these four communities show that high-level talent is being developed in every corner of the state, and scouts are taking notice.
