PH- 260-486-9826..TOP PLAYER Of The Day !Huge Sleeper in Indiana's Sr. Class! He can play with any Indiana Post from Southern Indiana's Donnie Hale to Northern Indiana's Jake Kitchell. Quick off his feet around basket,Kisler dunks in traffic , catches alley oops while also showing us SF ballhandling skills as he pushed the ball on fast breaks and squared up in triple threat to 23'. D1 NCAA's to D2's would be wise to recruit him. Still growing taller and wider as his Doc SAYS growth plates are open, he will be a Beast by his Sophomore year in College ! Indiana Wesleyan,Grace,IPFW, have been in to see him play and Butler,Fla. International have shown interest.

Ph- 260-490-3525..St. Francis college player Kevin Dawson told us he could not believe how much Jamie had improved the past year! Jamie is man strong now for College basketball and one who showed us great shot mechanics facing up to 23'. He is very similar to former Indiana State Star Jay Tunnell who can pick and release for trey balls or hi post shots. Jamie is not as quick off his feet as Seth Kisler was this day but he is much stronger and drop step dunking capable in low post. He battled and man handled most rebounds down low all day and showed a soft baby hook around the rack. His footwork and skill in paint but all D1-D2 NCAA schools needing a pure post must investigate his game.. Central Michigan and many D2-D3's have shown interest.

PH-616-886-7115. We were impressed all day with his leadership from his combo guard position. He is college game strong now on both ends of the court and was good off the dribble to the basket raising up and scoring in mid range shots and in distributing to others. His set shot to trey ball needs quicker release . His aggressiveness and skill at both ends of the court predicts for an outstanding college career in small college NCAA and NAIA Basketball..

Ph-317-897-0534.This lefty pogo stick attacked the basket with vengeance off the dribble as he scored at will over opponents with his hi rising pull up jumper.Freeman can be as good as IUPUI's Alex Young also from Northwest if Freeman will dedicate himself to perimeter development , academic development while also beginning to become a school leader!

PH- 616-393-5957..Long armed , wide shouldered combo Guard got to the basket at will and showed us the best pull up mid range shot of the day. He is totally recovered from last school year's ailment as he played all this summer and in this showcase with a clean bill of health.. His versatility would make him a star in small college basketball while his quicks/explosiveness predict for Mid NCAA D1 or D2 programs that can give him time to develop via drill work..

PH- 260-580-1129..Strong and quick footed athlete showed us tremendous defense , leadership and ability to get to the rack. He is a very good small college prospect and an outstanding prospect for Junior Colleges that need a player man strong now who needs time to develop perimeter scoring moves..

PH- 513-348-8700..Rugged post battler as a PF. He positions in post well snagging all boards in his area and showed us a good face up shot to 15'..His intense approach at both ends of the court defending the post/rebounding and finishing low post shots predicts for us that he is a steal for small colleges to NAIA's that need his developing SF game and his current Very Physical PF game..

PH-317-562-0043.Bull strong lefty combo guard started first half of season last year in place of Seniors being disciplined. We are very impressed with his playmaking , defending,court leadership and pull up scoring in mid range..Franqlin needs to develop a more consistent Jumper to 23' because he proved to us that he can create it anytime he wants ! He is an excellent NAIA-NCAA D2 Prospect !

PH-765-455-2246.He was the best on ball defender all day as he gloved all PG's for 84'. He got to the basket with ankle breaking crossovers and deceptive stop and go moves. SJ is a great small college prospect that makes offensive life easy for his 'mates since his lane penetration allows them to move to open areas. SJ needs Junior College for the highest level of his development..

Lefty combo guard showed us outstanding leadership skills, court decisions and a hard charging deceptive get to the basket game. He finished strong to rack and showed us great shot mechanics/quick release to 21'. His game reminds us of Bobby Riddell who was good last two years at Purdue University. He is no brainer Small-Mid size college prospect. Rend Lake,Olney,Earlham and Hillsdale have all showed interest.

PH- 317-546-2774..Quick jumping , physical post prospect probably played harder than anyone all day as he finished shots strong and crashed boards with relentless vengeance. He will need two years of perimeter development if he wants highest level of college basketball but strong small college prospect at this time. His new coach Sherron Wilkerson will be huge assest developing Yuri on a daily basis.

Ph-765-864-0107..Jet guard was very unselfish distributing the ball and leading his team. Great defender, he showed us a nice shot with quick release good mechanics but he was reluctant to shoot without prodding. We look forward to seeing more of his game October 25.

PH- 765-759-7557..Broad shouldered , long armed guard is built like a football linebacker. He is cousin to NBA Pro Bonzi Wells. Kid has 2.7/4 GPA and a slashing game that also is complemented by a pure off the dribble space creating jump shot.. He is NAIA-NCAA D2 Strong now as a SF as he reminds us of Indiana Wesleyan SF George Jones of South Bend. After two years of Junior College, Adrian will be a NCAA D1 SG..

Very strong and skilled SG. He will get quicker the next two years and will develop into an outstanding NCAA D2-D1 Prospect. He will be playing out of place at school this year on a bad team that needs him to play PG..

Strong slashing offensive wing who is very deceptive on defense due to long arms that are able to cause errant passes and out reach foes for rebounds and loose balls. Moody still needs go to scoring off the dribble jump shooting game while we believe he will continue developing is off the dribble game the next two years of High School. Stay Tuned..

The Best playmaker of the day is a great passer who must improve his jump shot to 23' for college basketball. Otherwise, colleges needing a pure playmaker who can hit shots in mid major range off the dribble should offer Fricke... Watch his Game !

His Penn Coach Al Rhodes told us that Leo can be the best player he has ever coached in his 35 year Hall Of Fame Career. Leo is a sweet shooting , solid ball handling wing in transition that also should stop vertical growth at 6-5 inches or more. Svete is an exciting NCAA D1 SG Prospect..

Sophomore is not near physical maturation so his college prospect future is exciting! He showed us court leadership, good decisions , solid overall skill and on court smarts. Kykee is Hi Academic as a straight A student in Indiana's Top Academic school. Basketball wise, Austin will only get better as task master Ed Schilling is the new Park Tudor Coach..

Diminutive PG has years of physical growth remaining as he reminds us of Freshman that continue maturation until age 20 or older. His skill is already premier as he was able to compete with any of the players in spite of his small stature.. His shot mechanics are good and skills are all in order. Leslie with predictable maturity will be an outstanding scholarship prospect in three years..

AJ showed us a great slash to basket move whenever he so desired and he even dunked in traffic from the wing off one quick move. His jump shot is mechanic pure while inconsistent this day. What was consistent was his ability to create space off the dribble and pull his jumper whenever he wants. Former IU Star Greg Graham is his coach so AJ has a coach that can develop him to the highest level. AJ is Hi Major D1 if he wants to make the concerted efforts in drill work.

Alan Iverson type who was just not containable as he got to the basket and also demonstrated a space creating fade away off the dribble jumper to 18'. Gamble is explosive and a Hi Major D1 Prospect in four years of continual growth and development..

Daub had the most discipline and efficient ball handling and shooting skills of the day. His jumper was quick and accurate while his challenge will be proving to colleges that he can develop off the dribble go to scoring moves while also improving his explosiveness via plyometrics..

Big Time PG for Big Ten and all other Hi Major Conferences ! The still growing very physically young guard tells us that he will take his game anywhere to prove that he is worthy of all offers. We know this special Freshman will grow into a special player since we saw that his skills are special and older players cannot pressure him into anything !

Ph-317-891-1575. His dad starred at Warren as a 6-6 Center and his mother was a good athlete at 6-0. With natural maturation , he will develop the strength to make his accurate (but slow) push shot to 25' a quick hi rising big time jumper.. He will grow to 6-7 or taller and now is even able to low post defend and bang with taller and older post players. Xavier, Cincinnati, West Virginia have all wisely been showing interest in his game development. Davis has a chance for Big Ten and NBA one day if he chooses to work hard in the weight room/explosive plyometrics and in perimeter skill development..
