Richard Brooks

Brooks

Mishawaka Marian | 2022
State
IN
– 6’3 SF 2022 – Mishawaka Marian (IN)
Stats: 15.3 Pts, 2.5 Rebs, 2.3 Asts, 1.4 Stls, 41% 3FG
Thoughts: Brooks is a smaller wing who can shoot the ball very well. He is incredibly aggressive when taking the ball to the hole, and he has the ability to throw it down over anybody or pull up for a nice little floater in the paint. Brooks can also knock down shots from the outside and uses his dribble to create his own shot. Brooks should be a player to watch for NAIA and Division 2 programs.
J.J. Louden Jr. – 6’4 SF 2022 – Indianapolis Pike (IN)
Stats: 11.1 Pts, 4.7 Rebs, 3.4 Asts, 2.3 Stls, 50% FG
Thoughts: Louden is an athletic wing who can jump out of the gym. He reads passing lanes well which leads to many powerful dunks in the paint. Louden is a good ball-handler who can create for himself and get inside the paint. He can also knock down shots from the outside. Louden is a great athlete who would be an outstanding addition to any program across the state.
Billy Smith

Brebeuf Jesuit | 2022

– 6’6 SF 2022 – Brebeuf Jesuit (IN)
Stats: 18.3 Pts, 3.7 Rebs, 1.9 Asts, 1.7 Stls, 43% 3FG
Thoughts: Smith is a bigger wing who can basically do it all. He has a good-looking shooting stroke from the outside, and he handles the ball enough to create for himself in the paint. He has good touch around the rim and scores with a lot of consistency. Smith is one of the best shooters in the Indianapolis area, and his size makes him a crucial asset. He received an offer from Marian earlier this week, and his recruitment is just now picking up.
