– 6’2 SG 2021 – North Central (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Elliott is a big, bruising guard who has some length and a ton of strength. Loves to drive and is real tough to stop once he has a path to do so. Pretty solid shooter as well and his shooting consistency has gotten tons better since his freshman year. His defense is real solid and he is able to switch pretty easily. Elliott is a prospect that has a ton of confidence in himself. He will be looking to have a huge last season of his stellar high school career.
Nolan Kelley

– 6’0 SG 2021 – Cloverdale (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Kelley is a shooting guard with a good amount of size. On offense, he does a good job in balancing a drive and shoot game. When he drives, he is pretty explosive and finishes well. Has a pretty smooth jumper and can really knock down some shots when he has a chance to. Has enough handles to be able to create long term but likely going to play off the ball. Kelley is an overall solid prospect.
Will VanDuyn
Will
VanDuyn

– 6’1 SG 2021 – Greenfield-Central (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: VanDuyn is a tall shooting guard that is pretty fast and athletic. He has a real tough playing style that shows off his toughness and aggressiveness. Probably is better at defense than he is offense as he makes a living off of getting steals and locking down offensive players. On offense, however, he does have a capable jumper but is best at driving and going at the defense. Overall, VanDuyn is a tough player to go up against. Look for him to have a great senior season.
