Indiana Name HT Pos High School Level College_Choice Overall_Notes
2 Jalen Coleman 6-4 SG LaPorte (IN) La Lumiere High-Major Illinois One of the best shooters and shot makers in the country. He has shot extremely well in EYBL play All-Ohio Red. His athleticism has taken a step where he will finish above the rim now. He doesn't look to go off the dribble too often though.
3 K.J. Walton 6-3 SG Brownsburg (IN) HS High-Major Undecided Strong, athletic, great first step. One of the best in the state of getting to the free-throw line. Solid outside shooter when he has time and space. When he has a defender bearing down, a hitch in his shot throws off his consistency. Doesn't have dribble moves, it is all straight line with his right hand. Potential to be an outstanding defender. Focus/intensity needs to be more constant.
4 Ryan Cline 6-5 SG Carmel (IN) HS High-Major Stretch Purdue He also was the primary ball-handler for Carmel this season. He has very good height and length for the shooting guard position. Cline has just started to add muscle to his frame right now. He was thin before, now he is getting some strength. That has helped his overall game. He is likely still growing. Cline has had a great spring.
7 Sean McDermott 6-6 SG Pendleton (IN) Heights Mid-Major Butler Shooter with good length. Pure stroke from the outside. He had a health scare with a Staph infection in the fall. He missed the start of the high school season. Quickness was always a worry with McDermott.
15 Michael Benkert 6-4 SG Greenwood (IN) Center Grove Mid-Major Belmont Very good mid-range pull-up game. He has a good frame and a solid build. He usually gets to the basket in transition or when the defense is out of position. He doesn't showcase any dribble moves to beat defenders off the dribble. He also needs to improve his consistency from the outside. He has shot well this spring. Benkert should be a very solid mid-major prospect.
19 Drew Hackett 6-2 SG Munster (IN) HS Mid-Major Illinois-Chicago Great size and length for a point guard. He is a very good outside shooter with a quick release. He has dribble moves to get to the basket off the dribble. Hackett sees the floor really well. He is solid laterally on the defensive end. He has the make-up to be really good at UIC.
23 Bryan Hoeing 6-5 SG Batesville (IN) HS Mid-Major Stretch Louisville (Baseball) Baseball Prospect. Solid athlete that is a very good outside shooter.
25 Everett Duncan 6-5 SG Evansville (IN) Harrison Low-Major Vermont Very good outside shooter. Moves well without the ball. Good basketball IQ. Average to below athlete. Looks to put the ball on the floor more now than he has in the past. Extremely thin build holds him back.
27 T.J. Henderson 6-0 SG Indianapolis (IN) Scecina Low-Major IUPUI Henderson's best attribute is definitely his outside shooting. He shoots well off the dribble and off the catch. Quickness going to the basket against good athletes has improved. Defensive effort is inconsistent right now.
28 Chandler White 6-2 SG Fort Wayne (IN) Carroll Low-Major Toledo Solid spring for White. He is strong and a good overall athlete. He has become mainly an outside shooter.
38 Jaylon Kyles 6-2 SG Merrillville (IN) Midwest Elite Prep Low-Major Undecided JUCO possible. Strong, decent athlete, moves well laterally, low shooting pocket, average to below average outside shooter, didn't show much shake on the dribble.
39 Dirk Jordan 6-2 SG Merrillville (IN) Midwest Elite Prep Low-Major Undecided Possible JUCO prospect. Strong build, moves well laterally on the defensive end. Good leaper/explosion. Average shooter.
43 Nate Hansen 6-4 SG Evansville (IN) Reitz Low-Major Stretch Undecided Good outside shooter when he gets set. Good leaper- that helps him rebound. He has the ability to handle the ball. Hansen is a good passer. Higher ceiling than this ranking.
45 Drew Cayce 6-2 SG LaPorte (IN) La Lumiere Low-Major Stretch Undecided Shooter first and foremost. Capable ball-handler. Average laterally but can contain quick point guards like teammate Munis Tutu. Good student.
47 Alex Stein 6-2 SG Evansville (IN) Reitz Low-Major Stretch Southern Indiana Good feel for the game. Stein can also shoot the ball from the outside. He elevates well on his jump shot. He uses shot fakes and ball fakes well. Fair athlete in terms of quickness. Can play the 1 or 2 because of his height.
50 Anthony Jones 6-4 SG Indianapolis (IN) Speedway Low-Major Stretch IUPUI Good size, build, length. Decent athlete but not overly explosive for D1 level. Usually doesn't blow by defenders at the high school level.Skill set is average. Decision making and shot selection is below par. Intensity and focus must improve to be a D1 contributor.
52 Tyson Shumpert 6-2 SG Indianapolis (IN) Herron Low-Major Stretch Undecided He is a fantastic athlete that is strong in the upper body. He has very good body control around the rim. Shot selection and defensive effort must improve to be a D1 player.
56 Christian Evans 6-5 SG Scottsburg (IN) D2 Undecided Evans is a thin, average athlete. He can handle the ball a little bit but is not a point guard. He is mainly a shooter with good length. He can shoot it off the dribble as well as the catch. He finished well around the rim this weekend.
59 Connor Umphress 6-4 SG Columbus (IN) East D2 St. Francis (Ind.) Signed with St. Francis. Umphress is a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard. He has a versatile skill set. He is a good outside shooter. He handles the ball well. Umphress also rebounds well for a wing. He has a good frame and is pretty strong at this point. Umphress is an average athlete; below average for the D1 level. He has a very good feel for the game which helps make up for his athleticism.
74 Nigel Robinson 6-2 SG Indianapolis (IN) Fall Creek D2 Undecided JUCO candidate. He is a versatile player that handles the ball and rebounds. He's not a great scorer against very good athletes right now. Distributor first and foremost that will hit the occassional shot from the outside. Academics and attitude are issues.
75 CJ Hardaway 6-2 SG Indianapolis (IN) Warren Central D2 Undecided Length is biggest asset. Good on-ball defender. Must be more consistent on the offensive end to be a D1 player. Willing rebounder. Not a great playmaker off the dribble. Poor outside shooter mainly because he does not have any rotation on his shot.
77 Davious Webster 6-2 SG Richmond (IN) HS D2 Undecided Smooth jumper, decent athlete. He takes a lot of bad shots. He has the potential to be a D2 prospect.
80 Stanley Duncan 6-5 SG Evansville (IN) Harrison D2 Anderson Fantastic spot-up shooter. Frame is very thin. Good basketball IQ in terms of passing and moving without the ball. Doesn't look to put the ball on the dribble much. Thin build also holds back.
82 Robert West 6-1 SG Evansville (IN) North D2 Undecided 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals per game on 43% from 3, 90% FT and 60% FG. Mostly catch and shoot on the offensive end. Not overly quick or explosive.
97 Kooper Glick 6-3 SG Columbus (IN) North NAIA Undecided Lefty that has developed his skill set over the last year. Good athlete with good size especially for the small college level. Has developed into a solid outside shooter.
98 Jason Solomon 6-2 SG Indianapolis (IN) Ben Davis NAIA Undecided 6-3, 170. Good length, build. Excellent athlete. Explosive leaper. Good feet. Handles are average. Best when he gets into the paint. Up and down season, he has potential to blossom at the D2 or NAIA levels.
102 Caleb Landrum 6-3 SG Huntington (IN) North NAIA Undecided Landrum has a solid understanding of the game. Landrum is a decent outside shooter especially when he has time and space. He has average feet for his size. I have not seen him do much off the dribble. 13 PPG, 45% from 3 as a junior. Baseball prospect as well so he misses some spring tournaments
103 Gavin Schaefer 6-3 SG Heritage Hills NAIA Undecided Fair outside shooter with good size from the wing. Willing rebounder. Needs to cut down on turnovers going forward.
108 Kaleb Ferrell 6-3 SG Indianapolis (IN) Irvington Prep NAIA Undecided Went to Perry Meridian freshmen year then transferred to Franklin Central and Bloomington North then Irvington Prep. Strong, good athlete, great frame. Skill set especially shooting needs improvement. Shot selection and focus need work.

142 Abe Haler 6-1 SG New Castle (IN) HS D3 Anderson Shooter with deep range. Slighlty undersized shooting guard. Limited athletically. Solid small college prospect.
