Breakdown: In general, the 2023 class in Indiana is as stacked as it gets and this list proves that. Leading the list is our 10th ranked player Myles Covin followed by 13th ranked Kamari Slaughter Kamari Slaughter 6'2" | SG Cathedral | 2023 State IN and 18th ranked Mason Jones Mason Jones 6'7" | PF Valparaiso | 2023 State IN . One player to keep an eye on that is not currently in the top 20 is A.J. Lux A.J. Lux 6'3" | SG Crown Point | 2023 State IN as this guy has been having a great AAU season so far and could potentiality steal the show at Havoc in the Heartland. After that, you have some players that are still on the rise with guys like Marcus Northern Marcus Northern 6'2" | PG South Bend Washington | 2023 State IN , D.J. Moss D.J. Moss 6'4" | SF Gary 21st Century | 2023 State IN , and Dylan Doss Dylan Doss 5'10" | PG Heritage Christian | 2023 State IN to name just a few. No question that our 2023 class is loaded and I think this list right here is going to provide some of the best performances of the weekend.
