David Lloyd – 6’3 SG 2022 – Noblesville (IN) – Men of the Family 2020
David is a big guard with handles and a frame that is developed like a senior. He’s interesting because he does have enough handle to possibly stay on the ball but he could grow some more. He had a solid game, really looking like a projectable guard with a ton of upside.
Kaeb Dosher – 6’5 PF 2022 – Mt. Vernon-Posey (IN) – DistinXion 2022 Black
Kaeb is a long, lanky forward with mobility and some skill beyond the arc. He doesn’t yet look like a guy that can break you down but he can shoot it and with a good release. He does have a little strength on him right now and should still grow a bit down the road. Need to see him impact the low post more, become a little tougher on the boards but he’s definitely on in the class that could develop a bit.
Bryan Rippy – 6’4 C 2022 – Eastern Greene (IN) – DistinXion 2022 Red
Bryan is a big post player with some assertiveness and physical power right now. He is a big guy right now but he runs the floor well and has decent foot speed in the half court. Willing to try and make a play, he has decent touch around the rim but needs to add a little more finesse to his game as he plays trying to overwhelm defenders. He’s got the makings of a kid that should grow some more and that will help his body balance out and in turn make his speed much more of an asset.
Jonathan Ricketts – 6’5 PF 2022 – North Posey (IN) – DistinXion 2022 White
Ricketts is a country strong forward with a lot of game to him right now. He’s so physically strong he can dominate on the boards. He’s got some ability to move and create around the rim but can also step out a bit. That will be more of a long term development but he seems to have the touch and release going for him. He also has some athletic ability to him, showing his finishing ability above the rim. Very, very interesting player to track.
Dirin Birhiray – 6’2 SF 2022 – Carmel (IN) – GPP Silver 2022
Darin is a long, lean athlete with some upside as a defender and playmaker. He did well in transition and made plays on the both ends of the floor. He’s a little raw with his scoring ability but can score at the rim right now fairly well. He’s so long and has great lateral quickness and the upside as he develops as a defender could be really high-end.
Jaiden Malichi – 6’5 PF 2022 – Cathedral (IN) – GPP Silver 2022
Jaiden is a forward who is really assertive and active in the half court. Showing some ability here where he can play faced up and put the ball on the floor to look to drive. He has some creative ability with the ball and can get to the rim really well for his position. There is some development that will be needed as he’s pretty thin right now but the mentality is there.
Brendan Wood – 6’3 SF 2022 – Brebeuf Jesuit (IN) – GPP 2022 Black
Brendan is a long, lean wing with a strong mid-range game. He’s got plenty of skill with the ball in his hands and that touch from 10-15’ should develop and expand pretty quickly. He had a nice pull-up jumper and mid-range turnaround. Right now, he can play the 2/3 and should be able to fill the frame out well by the time he is a senior.
Jonah Pennington – 5’10 PG 2022 – Indianapolis Pike (IN) – GPP 2022 Black
Jonah is a very long lead guard who has some interesting talent already. He’s really good with the ball in his hands, creative and effective. He can pass pretty well already and sees the floor well. Has a good jumper and while small, releases it high and should be able to get it off. He should grow quite a bit over the next couple years.
