Butler cleaned up in-state landing two guys in Pierce ThomasPierceThomas6'5" | SGBrownsburg | 2021State#153NationIN and Jayden TaylorJaydenTaylor6'4" | SGPerry Meridian | 2021State#224NationIN, our #2 and #3 at the position. They are led by South Bend Riley’s Blake WesleyBlakeWesley6'5" | SGSouth Bend Riley | 2021State#95NationIN.  Just past that top tier you have some real size and talent with Michael EleyMichaelEley6'4" | SGElevate Prep | 2021StateIN, Jake HeidbrederJakeHeidbreder6'3" | SGFloyd Central | 2021StateIN, and Connor HickmanConnorHickman6'2" | SGBloomington South | 2021StateIN.  The middle of this group is the part that should really make waves in college because of their upside. We are thinking of guys like Andrew BennettAndrewBennett6'2" | SGShenandoah | 2021StateIN, Zane BurkeZaneBurke6'2" | SGBlackhawk Christian | 2021StateIN, Tate IvanyoTateIvanyo6'4" | SGMorgan Township | 2021StateIN, Ty SmithTySmith6'1" | SGCrown Point | 2021StateIN, and Brody WhitakerBrodyWhitaker6'2" | SGGreencastle | 2021StateIN.  Keep an eye on these names through the high school season as potential breakouts: Ethan OsowskiEthanOsowski6'3" | SGLaPorte | 2021StateIN, Drake MooreDrakeMoore6'1" | SGMorristown | 2021StateIN, and Kaleb EdwardsKalebEdwards6'2" | SGGuerin Catholic | 2021StateIN.
