In our final look at the high school season for Wisconsin's five committed recruits, we'll review how each member of the 2011 class closed out their careers and check in once more with Sheboygan's own Sam Dekker.

Jarrod Uthoff is leading the pack for Wisconsin's next class of freshman after sweeping Iowa's Mr. Basketball and Gatorade Player of the Year titles at the conclusion of his senior season. That is not to say that the other three seniors were not honored though.

Frank Kaminsky and George Marshall both came up short in their quest for state titles as members of tourney favorites Benet Academy and Brooks Prep. But both players received all-state honors in Illinois from the AP. Traevon Jackson had a similar experience in Ohio with Westerville South. On Sunday, Kaminsky will go head-to-head with Marshall and Uthoff in the NeXt All-American Classic that features some of the most talented college-bound players in the country.

So, your favorite college basketball program has been passed over by a major in-state prospect? Avoid those irrational feelings of anger over a high schooler's choice and embrace the winds of change. And what better way than remembering the recruits already in the fold?

As expected, prized 2012 recruit J.P. Tokoto chose North Carolina over Wisconsin on Thursday night. It is okay to be disappointed by the another "homegrown" talent getting away from the Badgers. But it is not okay to get angry with the kid for picking an opportunity that most ball players grow up dreaming about and only a miniscule percentage get the chance to chase.

Could the timing and execution of his decision been handled better? Absolutely, especially out of respect for the local fans. But being the runner-up to UNC in this situation is actually more impressive than it seems, as looking back it appears Tokoto wanted to join Roy Williams all along. Bo Ryan's efforts at least gave him pause.

However, I am also not one of those who thinks landing Tokoto did not matter either. Last time Ryan landed a player of this caliber (Brian Butch), the Badgers achieved their first No. 1 ranking and two of their finest seasons ever. With a program as successful as Wisconsin, one player can make that difference. That's why they are called difference makers. Not only that, but Tokoto appeared to fill the athletic slasher role that has been missing from UW's recent teams.

And that is where Sheboygan Lutheran's Sam Dekker comes in.

As you can probably tell by the buzz surrounding a certain high schooler's upcoming announcement, recruiting is starting to heat up again as the regular season winds down for both college and high school teams. Wisconsin has the luxury of focusing on juniors and sophomores because it already has a fine class of seniors locked up at this point. All four 2011 recruits are still alive in their respective state's playoffs. Most of the committed Badger recruits have a great shot to make some noise during March Madness.

George Marshall

The broken hand that sidelined Marshall for six weeks may have cost him a spot on the All-City team, but it healed just in time for Brooks Prep (23-3) to start a successful run to the Chicago Public League title. Marshall then scored a game-high 22 points on five 3-pointers to help Brooks avenge an early-season loss to Bogan to continue the run. He wasn't done yet. After being held scoreless for three quarters against Farragut, Marshall scored all 12 of his points in a final period comeback -- including the game winning jumper with four seconds left -- as Brooks prevailed, 56-54.

Check out the video of Marshall's game-winner after the jump.
