A scouting service covering the state of Indiana for college basketball coaches and fans.

The adidas May Classic kicked-off Friday evening in Bloomington, Indiana. The tournament was not allowed to use Indiana University facilities this year after the NCAA passed a rule last year banning tournaments on college campuses. There were only three sets of games tonight, but here are notes on some of the players that we saw.

We have postponed updating our 2015 class rankings until after this weekend to ensure proper observation of all prospects under consideration. We have added a bunch of 2015 player profiles though. We expect to add another 10 or 15 over the next week. Here are the profiles that we currently have...

In a move that was anticipated by nearly everyone for the last two years, Blake Simmons has verbally committed to his father's Evansville Aces program. Simmons is a 6-5 wing that excels in a motion offense setting because he moves well without the ball and reads defenses very proficiently for a high school player. He is an average to below average athlete for the D1 level, but should be able to make up for it with his knowledge of the game. Simmons' top attribute is his shooting ability.

Simmons averaged nearly 20 points and 7 rebounds per game this season for Castle High School. He shot 55% from the field and 41% from 3. He plays his summer basketball with Indiana Elite-South, who is coached by Dan Dakich.

IPFW freshman Jonny Marlin has decided to leave the program. We had heard this rumor a few days ago, but were unable to confirm it. Marlin was our 15th rated player in the 2011 class. He also had an offers from Bucknell, Hartford, and Morehead State coming out of high school.
