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 South Bend.
We currently have 15 players from South Bend in the Class of 2024 database with 6 in our top 150 and 3 in the top 100. All of the other players on our watch list are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. The top player in the South Bend area is Nitareon Tuggle Nitareon Tuggle 6'3" | SG NorthWood | 2024 IN , a shooting guard from Northwood. Nitareon is the lone top-70 player in the area in a class that is relatively down for the South Bend area, but there are several underrated prospects.
Nitareon is an athletic guard who scored the ball with ease this summer for Kyle Guy Elite Black. He is going to have a chance to play a much bigger role this year with this talented NorthWood squad. Rasauun Johnson Rasauun Johnson 6'2" | SG Mishawaka | 2024 State IN and Dominic Bonner Dominic Bonner 6'2" | PG Penn | 2024 State IN are the other two South Bend players in the top 100 in the state. Each of these two guards are very fundamental and sound on both ends of the floor. Johnson is an amazing on-ball defender while Bonner sees the court and can distribute while also consistently knocking down shots from the outside. They should be in line for a much bigger role for Mishawaka and Penn this season. Both of those guys also really stuck out for 5Star 2024 this summer along with two more guys on this list, Zion Rhoades Zion Rhoades 6'3" | PF Mishawaka Marian | 2024 State IN and Ethan Wolfe Ethan Wolfe 5'11" | PG NorthWood | 2024 IN . Rhoades dominated in the paint for 5Star this summer while Wolfe was a very good point guard, seeing the floor well and dishing to the open man. This quartet of Rhoades from Mishawaka Marian and Wolfe from NorthWood along with Johnson and Bonner should all continue their good summer with a big junior season. The other ranked player in the South Bend area is Gage Worthman Gage Worthman 6'4" | PF Goshen | 2024 IN , a big man from Goshen. Worthman has the size and the footwork inside, and he has a chance to have a breakout junior season and really raise his stock this year.
Now, let’s take a look at the full list of 2024 rankings for South Bend.
