Continue ReadingWith the updated release of the top 150 rankings and an expanded watch list for the class of 2024 on Monday, it is time to take a look at some of the top players in the biggest areas of Indiana. We started in the Northern half of the state with The Region, and we are working our way down to the Southern half where we finish off with Evansville. Today, we will continue with Fort Wayne.
We currently have 33 players from Fort Wayne in the Class of 2024 database with 22 in our top 150 and 7 in the top 33. All of the other players on our watch list are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. The top player in Fort Wayne by a narrow margin is Ajani Washington Ajani Washington 6'2" | SG New Haven | 2024 State IN from Fort Wayne Concordia. Washington is the #2 shooting guard and #7 player in Indiana, and he can basically do it all on the court. Scoring, passing, shooting, and defending. This kid is going to be a stud, and I would expect offers to come rolling in very soon.
Right behind Washington in the rankings is Brauntae Johnson Brauntae Johnson 6'2" | PG Fort Wayne North Side | 2024 IN from Fort Wayne North, the #3 point guard in the 2024 class. Johnson has offers to play wide receiver at Penn State, Michigan State, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, and so many others. His only basketball offer right now is PFW, but he could easily play both sports at a high level in Division 1. Jaxon Pardon Jaxon Pardon 6'4" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN and Cannen Houser Cannen Houser 6'5" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN are a very good pair of shooting guards who will be thrust into a bigger role for Carroll (Fort Wayne) this season after a pair of breakout summer seasons with Ohio Buckets and Indy Heat Red. Tucker Day Tucker Day 6'7" | C Canterbury | 2024 State IN is the #2 center in the state for Homestead, and with his footwork and knowledge of the game, he is going to be the best 2024 big man in the Fort Wayne area by a wide margin. Jackson McGee from Leo and Jevon Lewis Jevon Lewis 5'9" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2024 State IN from Fort Wayne Wayne are two more point guards who can play at a high level with their quickness and playmaking ability.
Now, let’s take a look at the full list of 2024 rankings for Fort Wayne.
