Chris Riddle (Mac Irvin Fire)
Riddle is originally from Illinois and is now playing his prep ball in Arizona. Physical frame that has a college ready body already. He is at his best using his burst like a running back in transition along with attacking downhill through traffic in the half court. His passing has made so much improvement as he sees the floor making flashy passes that lead to points. Shows flashes as a shooter. Snatches rebounds in traffic and when engaged came be a plus defender.
Devonte Reed (NEBC)
Reed has been a pleasant surprise this spring as the wing has burst on the scene with his scoring while playing up on the 17U level. Explosive slashing wing that is slippery finding holes in the defense to attack. Really excels in the transition game playing above the rim. Potential to be an all-around scoring threat and plus defender.
Dhani Flannigan Dhani Flannigan 5'10" | PG Ben Davis | 2024 State IN (D1 Indiana)
Flannigan has been a consistent presence each time we have seen D1 Indiana play during the spring. Strong bodied guard with a killer pull up game. He rained in threes in their first game of the event with crisp pull ups and step backs. Creates space and is a pure bucket getter.
Seth LaRavia Seth LaRavia 6'6" | PF Pendelton Heights | 2024 State IN (D1 Indiana)
Power forward with a strong frame. He rebounded well in his area and displayed mobility in the pick/roll. Also hit a pair of threes looking comfortable shooting it.
Mark White (D1 Indiana)
White is a two way wing that gets after it defensively checking multiple positions. Offensively he flies in hitting the offensive class and loves to get downhill along with scoring in transition.
Nilyn Compton Nilyn Compton 6'2" | SG Southport | 2025 IN (D1 Indiana)
Compton put his name on our radar with a terrific outing. Another wing that defended at a high level showing quick hands, lateral movement, and anticipation on that end. He passed it well off the ball and rebounded for his position. Contributed a little bit everywhere.
Uchenna Amene Uchenna Amene 6'2" | PG Detroit Catholic Central | 2024 State MI (Reach Legends)
Amene was outstanding for Reach in Indy. The point guard opened the contest burying three after three. Also displayed his ball handling and ability to win off the bounce for acrobatic layups and floaters. Like what he did defensively as well putting the pressure on opposing ball handlers.
Chase Kuiper Chase Kuiper 6'5" | SF Troy | 2024 State MI (Reach Legends)
Long and thin shooter on the wing that was excellent as a catch and shoot threat. Moves well without the ball to get open. Has some athletic pop in there as well. Projectable kid from Michigan to keep an eye on.
Reis Butcher Reis Butcher 6'4" | SF Brebeuf Jesuit | 2024 State IN (Indy Nets)
Butcher is one of the more effortless scorers we have seen on the 16U level this spring in the Midwest. Combo guard that can play on or off the ball effectively. Feathery jumper rising over his opponents for buckets getting elevation over this opponent. Silky smooth ball handler that weaves his way through the smallest holes in the defense finishing with finger rolls and layups. Defensively he has a knack for blocking shots as a guard.
Luke Yeager (Indy Nets)
Post that has good size and keeps the defense honest as he can really shoot it from beyond the arc off the catch and in pick/pop situations. Rebounded well in his area.
Braden Robertson (All Area Basketball)
Robertson had a big outing on Saturday morning against the Fire. Two guard that can really shoot the rock. Plus shooter that made them from both three and mid-range. Crafty driver converted spinning layups.
Jayden Furney Jayden Furney 6'1" | SG Delta | 2024 IN (All Area Basketball)
Furney is another plus shooter for this Indiana squad. Shined hitting three triples in the game we saw along with several sweeping layups.
