Strengths: One of the better AAU teams coming out of Indiana, this team is loaded with high scoring kids all of which should secure a D1 scholarship. There is a ton of athleticism here with a couple short smooth point guards. This team could shoot lights out and will be a threat to anyone they play.
Why College Programs Should Watch: All D1 programs should come in and watch this team along with high D2s looking for a steal. There are high major all the way down to low major guys on this roster.
Player To Watch: De’Avion Washington (Terre Haute South) – Last year Washington really improved during his summer season and this year he will be looking to make another big splash. This summer he will really be improving on his jumper and if he does he’s a high major kid.
Where To Find Them: They will be travelling to a bunch of big tournaments this summer. You can find them in Indianapolis, New York, and Atlanta for some tournaments.
