Roster Breakdown: A good chunk of this roster is back from last year with guys like Welage, Gizzi, Taueg, and Tristan Ross. A few new names in Moore and O’Neill provide some key depth. They have a ton of size and good matchup ability. Scales and Welage should be able to play all over the floor and give some versatility. Vannatta and O’Neill will be the bruisers in the post and they are two of the best post players in the class and both have a great body to be physical.
One To Watch: Be on the lookout for Keegan O’Neill. He’s not been a guy many have seen but he’s probably the most intriguing player here and could end up at a number of levels. The 6’8 stretch forward has a really good perimeter jumper but is so physically overpowering down low, it is hard to stop him. He looks in better shape and while he isn’t going to matchup well with other stretch forwards, he’s going to have the advantage on the offense end nearly every time. He will be getting more exposure than he has gotten ever so lets see how he plays.
Where You Can Find Them: Indiana Elite East 2020 will be all over the place this Spring. They are on Adidas Gauntlet Gold and will be in on some Prep Hoops Circuit events as well. So in two weeks, you can find them in Dallas but most of the season they will be in Indianapolis.
