Breakdown: The class of 2021 and the list of the top centers is one that isn’t particularly deep relative to how good the class is but there is still a bunch of those players still on the board. Langdon Hatton Langdon Hatton 6'9" | C North Harrison | 2021 State IN and Payton Sparks Payton Sparks 6'10" | C Winchester | 2021 State IN have kind of separated themselves over the last year with Mason Nicholson Mason Nicholson 6'8" | C Gary West | 2021 State IN taking a large step forward. Looking down the list, we have really liked Adam O’Dell Adam O’Dell 6'8" | C South Bend St. Joseph | 2021 State IN , Jordan Thomas Jordan Thomas 6'7" | C New Albany | 2021 State IN , and Rocco Muratori Rocco Muratori 7'1" | C La Lumiere | 2021 State IN before COVID but with limited to no action, will be interesting to see how they bounce back this winter. Also look at Christian DeCosta Christian DeCosta 6'7" | C Cardinal Ritter | 2021 State IN as a potential steal late.
