Continue ReadingThe change in the recruiting cycle is going to be a big change for everyone. Right as we thought we were going to be getting out on the road, we get shut down. So, in order to spend as much effort as we can in getting players seen, we are going to do what we call, 3-Packs.
With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2021 Small Forwards in Donovan Barnett Donovan Barnett 6'5" | SF Crispus Attucks | 2021 State IN , Aidan Booher Aidan Booher 6'4" | SF Plainfield | 2021 State IN , and Grant Jones Grant Jones 6'4" | SF Muncie Burris School | 2021 State IN .
Donovan Barnett

Barnett
6'5" | SF
Crispus Attucks | 2021
State
IN
– 6’5 SF 2021 – Indianapolis Crispus Attucks (IN)
Stats: 7.0 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.0 apg
Thoughts: Barnett is a tough, physical wing with a solid pull-up game. He is more of a slasher where he looks to create in the lane and use his frame well. He is a good rebounding wing around the rim and seems like he can grab and go in transition well enough to give value there. He’s fairly balanced with his game right now, but I believe that he’s better when the jumper is the first look. His upside is huge and he could be close to a breakout player if he can really get locked in.
Aidan Booher

Booher
6'4" | SF
Plainfield | 2021
State
IN
– 6’4 SF 2021 – Plainfield (IN)
Stats: 10.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 2.8 apg
Thoughts: Booher is a tall guard who is a solid scorer, but he is a better shooter at this point in his game. He’s got a little bit of creative ability, but he is really good if he can shoot off the catch. He will be able to get in the lane, and with improved ball-handling, he should really become a good scoring guard with a little work.
Grant Jones

Jones
6'4" | SF
Muncie Burris School | 2021
State
IN
– 6’4 SF 2021 – Muncie Burris (IN)
Stats: 13.7 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 1.8 apg
Thoughts: Jones is an undersized post player for Muncie Burris, but he does show good footwork and moves down low. He crashes for rebounds hard thanks to his physical play. He also likes to get the rebound and push it down the floor. He will be one of the top players for Muncie Burris next season, and if he can work a little more on his shot, he could develop his game to give it another dimension.
