Heading to USSSA National Tournament

P-Hoops hits the road this evening, heading to Fort Wayne to get ready for the final AAU tournament of the summer, the USSSA Nationals held at the Spiece Fieldhouse. Some great games are on tap for day one, including the Spiece Indy Stars, boasting Jeremy Hollowell, Ron Patterson, Austin Burgett, Rhett Smith and Kellon Thomas, facing off with the other Indy Stars from Eric Gordon. The latter Indy Stars feature up and coming guard Kellen Dunham and Dylan Langkabel. Other great teams in the event include Team Indiana 2012, Spiece Indy Heat Felder, and many others. Check back for updates throughout the tournament. I'll post tidbits as I have time.

End of Summer Rankings: Class of 2010

The final installment of updated rankings focuses on this years' new crop of seniors. There are a bevy of highly talented players, many of who have already found their college home, whether D1 or at another level. One notable omission from the 2010 rankings is Dominique Ferguson, formerly of Lawrence North and the previous number two-ranked player in the state, who has chosen to transfer to an out-of-state prep school. Another name is absent as well, as Dwenger forward Jordan Didier is moving back home to Arizona. The top spot remains the same, but there was a lot of shifting around in the rest of the rankings. Read on to see where players check in, and feel free to post a message!

End of Summer Rankings: Class of 2012

As the summer winds down and the AAU season quickly comes to and end, P-Hoops thought it necessary to update the Class Rankings for the state of Indiana. A lot has happened since the end of the high school season. Many players have taken huge leaps forward in their games, and some not quite as much. With so much hoops played this summer and with P-Hoops being at pretty much every AAU event that the top kids were playing at, it's high time we re-evaluate and shift some rankings around.

Award Winners from IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp

Today P-Hoops will hand out the remaining hardware to some worthy recipients who rose to the top at the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp. There were many deserving campers, but the ones awarded here really stood out as the very best in specific aspects of the game. So without further ado, let P-Hoops unveil the cream of the crop from camp!

Most Athletic: There were many high-risers and freak athletes in attendance this past Saturday, but none was so impressive as Lawrence North junior Brandon Muncie. From the beginning of camp, Muncie wanted to impress all spectators with an array of above the rim antics, whether off the dribble during point guard drills, during water breaks, or even throwing down an alley-oop during 5-on-5 play. Muncie is a tad raw yet, but his athletic tools have equipped him to succeed with more and more hours in the gym.

Other athletes of note: Travis Burkett (Jr) Indianapolis Home School, William Clinton Barnes III (Jr) Marion, Seth Kisler (Sr) Blackhawk Christian, Darius Williams (Sr) Oswego (IL).

Best Post Player: There were some great big men in attendance and they were drilled well by assistant coach Jeff Clark with the help of star Wildcat players Zach Coverstone and Will Hubertz. One young man stood out above the rest with his great ability to establish himself in the post, hold off defenders, catch the ball, and make solid moves in either direction with both hands. Parker Stouffer of Southwood, a senior 6'8 manchild, earns the honor of best down low.

Other post players of note: Tyler Greathouse (Jr) Columbus North, Greg Miller (Sr) North Miami, Josh Cook (Sr) Mississinewa, Wade Thomas (Jr) Lebanon

Toughest: This award went to the camper who competed the hardest on the floor and in the workouts they were put through by Coach Tonagel and his staff. This camper not only excelled at these aspects of camp, but truly seemed to enjoy being put through some difficult situations. Spencer Krhin of Southwood, another senior, gets this honor. He was a beast in all the measurables, benching 185 pounds 16 times, doing 30 pull ups, and rising up 33 inches on his vertical. Impressive!

Other warriors of note: Travis Burkett (Jr) Indianpolis Home School, Spencer Comer (Jr) Rushville

Best Ball Handler: This camper was the best with the ball in his hands, keeping it away from the opposition while setting up his team for scores and great possessions. He had deft moves with the ball, showing off a solid crossover and good passing skills. Crawfordsville junior Trent Crabtree showed me the most at the point.

Other ball handlers of note: Spencer Krhin (Sr) Southwood, Spencer Comer (Jr) Rushville, Josh McDonald (Sr) Columbus East, Chris Birky (Sr) Mississinewa, Stephan Jones (Sr) Carroll

Most Potential: This award goes to the player with the highest ceiling, the brightest future, and the most probability of a big time basketball career. This player may not have had the best showing at camp, but the tools were evident and his frame and skill set are of the kind that make college coaches drool. He also has great length and above average athleticism and the potential to play three or four positions. Who is he? None other than 6'8 wing and Columbus North junior Tyler Greathouse.

Others with high potential: William Clinton Barnes III (Jr) Marion, Greg Miller (Sr) North Miami, Seth Kisler (Sr) Blackhawk Christian, Kyle Fillman (Soph) Norwell, Parker Stouffer (Sr) Southwood, Brandon Muncie (Jr) Lawrence North

Check back later for P-Hoops' pick as Camp MVP!

Top Shooting Star of the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp

As promised, P-Hoops will be giving respect to the best of the best from the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp. We'll look at standouts from several different skill areas including ball handling, post play, toughness, and athleticism. Today, however, we begin by awarding the title of "Best Shooter" of the camp.

First off, P-Hoops would be remiss without mentioning that the best shooting display of the day came from former Lafayette Central Catholic star and current IWU Wildcat Will Hubertz (pictured right guarding asst. coach Jeff Clark along with Zach Coverstone). A combo forward who starts and stars for the Wildcats, Hubertz is a match-up nightmare because he is super-athletic and bouncy, so he's able to guard the four, but his shot is so deadly that big men struggle to guard him on the perimeter. Hubertz demonstrated the shooting drill that the campers would be doing as he moved spot to spot around the three point line, nailing twenty of about twenty-four three pointers in about ninety seconds. Very impressive.

As for the campers, there were several standouts who could really pour it in from deep. This one camper, however, did not simply knock down the deep ball during drill work, he did it during 5-on-5 play. During one stretch in which P-Hoops was looking on, this local camper hit about five threes during a two game span. Very impressive. He has a quick release which makes up for his being an average athlete. He worked hard to get open and once he caught, he was in great position to fire, feet and shoulders squared up and in the shooting pocket. The Shooting Star of the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp? Mississinewa senior guard Brandon Cragun.

Other shooters of note: Jacob Bagley (Sr) Van Wert (OH) - Trent Crabtree (Jr) Crawfordsville - Brandon Dunaway (Jr) Corydon Central - Chris Hamilton (Jr) Bellbrook (OH) - Josh McDonald (Sr) Columbus East - Greg Miller (Sr) North Miami - Troy Porter (Sr) Frankfort.

Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell Update

The class of 2012 is absolutely loaded with talent. Names like D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Dejuan Marerro, Ron Patterson, Jeremy Hollowell have blown up on the recruiting scene over the past year or so and these guys have truly become national level recruits. One name that often gets forgotten or left out of conversations regarding the incoming sophomore class is Park Tudor point guard Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell, once hailed as the best fourth grader in the nation by a recruiting service. Yogi took the past two seasons off of AAU ball to work on his game, and also to find just the right fit in a summer team. Well, the hard work and patience has paid dividends in the form of big-time attention from D1 coaches and, as of today, two brand new scholarship offers. Both the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Butler Bulldogs have stepped forward and offered the lightning quick 5'9 point guard. There are definite connections and reasons for these two schools desiring the services of Yogi outside of his tremendous summer play. Ohio State has been in need of point guard help ever since the early defection of Mike Conley to the NBA, which was followed by the transfer of Anthony Crater. They do have Liberty-Benton standout Aaron Craft locked up for 2010, but point is still an area of concern for the Buckeyes. Butler should come as no surprise since Ferrell's high school coach is former Butler and New Castle star Darnell Archey, who would certainly love to see his star player end up at his alma mater. Congrats to Yogi, who has certainly earned what he has received with his strong play this summer and in the past high school season! More offers are sure to come....

Underclassmen of Note from the IWU/P-Hoops Elite Prospect Camp

Yesterday, we took an in-depth look at the top seniors in attendance at the Indiana Wesleyan/P-Hoops Prospect and Skills Camp. This afternoon, we turn out attention the the cream of the crop from the underclassmen in attendance, of whom there were many. Some big-time talents were on court, displaying their vast skill and potential and proving that their future in hoops is bright. Here's a glimpse of the younger standouts from the camp.

William Clinton "Clint" Barnes III - Marion HS - Junior - 6'3 SG - Clint Barnes (in white) was a name I knew of coming into camp since he played a significant role last season on a loaded Marion team that included D1 talents Scott Wood and JaRob McCallum. Barnes stood out to me as a versatile guard capable of doing many things well. He is a solid athlete with the ability to defend multiple positions. His shot, while streaky, falls enough from deep to make him a legit threat from three point land. He gets up pretty well and can consistently finish at the rim while slashing. Two needed areas of improvement are his ball handling and the mental aspect of his game. If he can tighten up his handle and have better, more consistent focus on the floor, Barnes could be the next in a long list of Marion mega-stars.

Travis Burkett - Indianapolis Home School Wildcats - Junior - 6'3 and 1/2 SG/SF - Another big surprise was the play of Burkett, who along with Spencer Khrin, was one of the workout warriors of the camp. Travis and his IHS Wildcat teammates who were in attendance impressed me with their play. These aren't your father's home school basketball players. All of them played well, but Burkett really stood out to me. The muscular lefty has the ability to shoot it from deep with great form, but his shot didn't fall all that much. But with his textbook form and release, consistency can be developed with work. He is a good defender and has a high level motor. He also showed well on the bench press and vertical test, leaping 31 inches. If Burkett wants a college ball future and is willing to put in a little more work, he has the tools to do it.

Spencer Comer - Rushville HS - Junior - 6'4 G - Comer really impressed with his hard work and tremendous attitude all camp long. His strengths include his solid defense, good handles, and the constant hard, smart work. He has the ability to play the one or the two since he is heady enough to run a team and a good enough shooter to play off the ball. If Comer puts in hours making himself a deadly outside shooter and puts time in to improving his already quality ball handling, he has a certain college future. Really enjoyed the kid for his play and attitude.

Trent Crabtree - Crawfordsville HS - Junior - 6'0 PG - Crabtree may have been the best underclass point guard in the camp. He has some great handles and showed them off with a couple of nice crossovers during scrimmage play. He is heady as well, as his team had a lead with over 30 seconds to play in 5-on-5 and was able to dribble out the final seconds. Also a very capable deep shooter that was one of a handful to successfully complete a high level three point shooting drill. Crabtree needs to improve his strength and explosiveness as well as his ability to create for himself on the bounce.

Brandon Dunaway - Corydon Central HS - Junior - 6'3 SG - Dunaway, who plays for Indiana Elite Green in AAU ball, proved to be one of the top outside shooters in camp. He knocked down several outside J's and deep threes in drill work and 5-on-5 play. Shooting is his best asset, but he is also a tireless worker, going through all the skill work with high intensity. You can tell Brandon really wants it. He is a capable ball handler, but he needs to tighten his dribbling in order to be more versatile and appealing to college coaches. With another year to develop, Dunaway is one to keep an eye on.

Kyle Fillman - Norwell HS - Sophomore - 6'5 and 1/2 G - Fillman was probably the biggest surprise to me all day long. He more often than not dominated the 5-on-5 play on the younger kids court with inside-outside ability. He slashed well from the wing, once going one dribble, pro-hop jump stop, finish at the rim during scrimmage. His outside shot is average right now, but his form is solid, so with work it will improve. He first caught my eye while throwing down a two-handed dunk during point guard drills. I really like this kid, and since he's so young with plenty of time to continue his development, I like him all the more. Fillman could really be a stud in the near future.

Tyler Greathouse - Columbus North HS - Junior - 6'8 F - Greathouse, along with one or two other prospects at camp, had the highest ceiling of anyone in attendance because of his skill set, frame, and versatility. He has made a name for himself playing for one of the top AAU teams in the state, Spiece Select. He has had more college suitors as of late because he is so long and lanky and is versatile, with the ability to shoot it like a guard and the potential to be a mismatch in the post. He didn't get to participate in 5-on-5 play since he was required to rest for his upcoming AAU tourney, but I got a great picture of his ability nonetheless. He has a ton going for him and is clearly a high-level talent, but there are a few things he can work on to make himself all the better. One would be his strength. He is very slight of frame, weighing in at only 190 pounds, and along with that, he also needs to improve his physical strength. His reach is impressive, at almost nine feet, but he could improve his explosive jumping (26" vertical) to be an even more dynamic finisher above the rim. Tyler is a great kid with a great family and he will no doubt improve all his weaknesses, making him highly desirable for any college program.

Brandon Muncie - Lawrence North HS - Junior - 6'4 G - Muncie (pictured with Coach Tonagel) was another well-known name and high ceiling athlete in attendance. Brandon has stood out playing for another top AAU team, Spiece Indy Heat Felder. The first thing that stands out to someone watching Muncie is his freak athleticism. He was measured at 33 inches on his vertical, but he told me his best measurement was as high as 38 inches. During skill work and water breaks, he had some jaw-dropping jams that drew ooh's and ah's from the campers and raised eyebrows from the coaching staff. There were a few reverses and 360's, and one missed attempt at a between-the-legs dunk that was still impressive despite the result. His game is somewhat raw overall, but you can't teach the natural ability he has. His shot and handles are above average, but if he were to choose to work on them hard and decide to really improve, the sky is the limit for Muncie.

Check back later on this week for more on the camp and to see who earned awards for their play!

Top Performing Seniors from IWU/P-Hoops Prospect Camp

Saturday was an awesome day of hoops on the Indiana Wesleyan Campus as Greg Tonagel and His staff joined forces with P-Hoops to hold an Elite Prospect and Skills Camp which had a fabulous turnout of nearly fifty of the area's top college basketball hopefuls. The kids worked hard and the intensity was high throughout the day. Across the board the level of play was top notch and several high caliber athletes stood out with great showings. Tonight, P-Hoops will take a look at some of the best from the senior class of 2010 who were in attendance, evaluating strengths and weaknesses. Throughout the week, we'll look at more standouts from the other classes, as well as hand out some hardware to the very top performers. Without further ado, let's delve into which seniors captivated with the potential and their play!

Parker Stouffer - Southwood HS - 6'8 PF/C - The biggest of the big men in camp, Stouffer did not disappoint. A recent commit to Coach Tonagel and the IWU Wildcats, Stouffer likely wanted to show his future coaches and teammates what he could do, and he was more often than not up to the task. He has a HUGE frame at 6'8 and is already a widebody who is tough to move off the blocks once he's rooted in post position. He has a long wingspan that he uses to receive the ball in the post, attack the glass, and block and alter shots. The scary thing? He's hardly lifted weights at all! His strength is natural and from a farming background, so if he finds time to devote to weight training, things could get really scary. But the big man is not all brawn and power; he also has a great face up game and a soft touch all the way out to the three point line. With so many positives going for Parker, including a great personality on and off the court, there are still a few things he could shore up to be the dominant force he could be. One obvious is hitting the weights and working on conditioning, especially coming back off his recent ankle injury. He also needs a bit of work on his hands and being able to gather in even tough passes. Also, if he played with a consistently high motor, he would be darn near unstoppable. Stouffer, a member of Spiece Indy Heat Downs, was truly a treat to watch. He will be a great one this season and in the future!

Greg Miller - North Miami HS - 6'5 SF/PF - Miller is a name consistently heard as one of the best in the class of 2010, and the versatile forward did not disappoint with his showing on Saturday. He has flown under the radar a bit, however, after taking the AAU season off this year to get some much needed down time. Versatility is the name of his game, and it's being adept at so many things that makes Miller such an attractive player to college coaches. Offensively, he really showed that he can pretty much do it all. If a smaller player guards him, he has an array of post moves, as well as the needed strength, to dominate down low. If a bigger player switches onto him, he can step away from the basket and hit threes and mid-range shots with regularity. Defensively, he's more comfortable defending bigger players, using his strength to push them off the block. He also has sneaky athleticism that's not really explosive, but he is able to time his jumps to affect and alter shots. He is not super-athletic, so guarding really bouncy wing players can be tough for him. He's a bit of a tweener, so his game is difficult to project to college. However, he is so highly productive and can affect the game on both ends of the floor in such a big way, that he will no doubt find a college home to continue stuffing the stat sheet.

Chris Birky - Mississinewa HS - 5'8 PG - Birky (pictured with big man Stouffer) showed out well all day long. His intensity, passion, and will to win are his greatest strengths. He won't wow you with a huge vertical or amazing strength, but he can control a team from the point, distribute the ball where it needs to be, and knock down the open shot. He is very fast with the ball in his hands, and he consistently made the correct pass, not always the flashy one. He came with three other teammates, all of whom played well, so there's lot to look forward to at Ole Miss this season. An obvious weakness is size, but he is pretty well able to overcome it with his heady play. Also a great team leader. There's lot to like here.

Josh McDonald - Columbus East HS - 5'10 PG - The point was a position of strength at the Prospect Camp, and McDonald (looking at card) was another of the best. He's had a solid summer playing for SCI Elite and he was equally impressive on Saturday. He is strong with the ball in his hands, and showed off some pretty flashy moved off the bounce. He also knocked down the trey with regularity in 5-on-5 play and in drill work with a smooth form and effortless release. He was one of the top senior shooters in camp. He's not super-strong at 5'10, so he'll need to hit the weights to fully realize all his hoop goals. Also is not a big leaper. If he shores up what he can from a strength and athleticism standpoint, he has a college future.

Wes Zimmerman - Peru HS - 6'3 SG/SF - Zimmerman proved Saturday why he has excelled as a high school player: productivity. He does not do any one thing great but does everything good, making him a tough match up. He's physically strong and a good athlete, capable of hitting mid-range shots consistently. His threes were not falling consistently, so that is a needed area of work. He refuses to be outworked and played with intensity all day long. He's one of those players who won't wow you watching him, but at the end of the game, he's got 15 points, eight boards, a few assists and steals. If he can develop a deadly deep game, there's a certain college future.

Spencer Khrin - Southwood HS - 6'3 G - Crin was easily the strongest player in camp, earning the nickname Hercules from some of the other campers. He was able to rep 185 pounds on the bench press 16 times, an outstanding number for any high school ball player. His biggest attributes besides strength are his great leadership, will to win, and the intensity with which he plays. His shot is good and he hit some threes and mid-range shots while P-Hoops watched. I was very impressed with how Crin cheered on his fellow campers in drill work and during the scrimmage time. He will form a formidable duo with Parker Stouffer at Southwood and is certainly one to keep an eye on.

Stephan Jones - Carroll HS - 5'10 PG - Another top point guard in the camp, Jones showed some serious savvy and great handles while showing well on Saturday. He was strong with the ball in his hands and had great moves on the bounce while protecting the ball. He got into the lane with ease, setting up his teammates or shooting little floaters over taller defenders. His deep shot had good form and he hit it with average consistency. He simply has a good feel for the game. Like the other point guards referenced above, his two biggest areas of improvement are strength and athleticism, as well shoring up the deep ball a bit.

Seth Kisler - Blackhawk Christian HS - 6'7 SF/PF - One of the more surprising players at the camp was the long, lanky combo forward from Ft. Wayne. He has likely flown under the radar playing in the shadow of one of the best players in the state in Michigan State recruit Russell Byrd. However, he burst onto the scene in a big way on Saturday. He is very bouncy, throwing down dunks with ease. He has good footwork. He has a good shot despite having his elbow out on his release. He had a highlight reel play, getting up to block a dunk attempt in 5-on-5 play. He really needs to add weight and strength, but he has a high a ceiling as anyone who attended camp. Another one to really keep an eye on this season.

P-Hoops Reports Back from IWU Prospect Camp

Hey hoops fans. Just got back from the lovely campus of Indiana Wesleyan in Marion. There were right at fifty campers today ranging from freshmen to seniors, and the skill level did not disappoint. Head coach Greg Tonagel (pictured) and his staff put on a great day for these prospects who were looking to develop their game, learn new skills and techniques, and to be seen and potentially recruited either by IWU or others schools that heard about them through the Prospect Camp. The day included drill work, guard and big skill work, a recruiting seminar, five on five games, and a nutritional seminar on how to get an edge by fueling your body right. All of the camp was intense, high-energy, and top of the line in terms of professionalism and caliber of teaching. Coach Tonagel has an infectious personality and love for the game, which was clear to all onlookers and campers, and the facilities are top-of-the-line, making playing for the Wildcats an extremely attractive proposition. Over the next few days, P-Hoops will be breaking down some of the best players in attendance from each high school class, accompanied by pictures, and will be handing out some "Best in Show" awards for athletes who excelled in certain aspects of the game, like shooting or post play. Look out for names like Parker Stouffer, Tyler Greathouse, Greg Miller, Brandon Muncie, Clint Barnes, and many more!

IWU/P-Hoops Prospect and Skills Camp is TODAY!

Hey readers and hoops fans, today is the big day. P-Hoops is joining forces with one of the best basketball schools in the state, the Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats, and putting on an Elite Prospect camp in Marion from 1-6 PM. Coach Greg Tonagel and his staff will be doing considerable drill, skill, and technique work, plus talking about helpful issues like recruitment and nutrition, while P-Hoops will be on hand to evaluate all the great talent that will be there for the blog. If you are interested in coming and have not yet signed up, don't fret; you can just sign up at the door! Check back this evening and in the coming days for my analysis and impressions of the players who were most impressive.

Top Under-the-Radar Players of AAU Play

P-Hoops has been able to watch a lot of Indiana kids play during his travels on the AAU circuit this summer and has seen all the big names and familiar faces. Guys like Marquis Teague, Deshaun Thomas, Jeremiah Davis, Cody Zeller, and Terone Johnson have thoroughly impressed as expected, many going above and beyond the lofty expectations put on them. With so many great stars in the Hoosier state, it's easy to miss out on kids who are less heralded but supremely talented, kids who will have great college careers at mid or low major schools, or even in NAIA or D2 or D3 ball. So let's take a look at some of the under-the-radar guys who caught my eye so far this summer.

Randall Lowe and Jake Browne - Indiana Elite White 17U - These two seniors to be thoroughly impressed me from the time I first saw them at the Adidas May Classic all the way through this week at the Best of the Midwest. Lowe, a 6'0 point guard from Tri-West, is a high scoring point guard who is the best ball handler I've seen this side of Marquis Teague. He is capable or scoring in bunches either from deep, with his deadly midrange game, or off the bounce, as he proved in pool play against the Eric Gordon All-Stars this week when he went for 12 straight points in one second half stretch. He is getting looks from plenty of D2's including last year's national champs, Findlay University, but now that he's fully healthy, I have no doubt he'll be a great mid-major point guard. Browne, a 6'8 center from Heritage Christian, is long, lanky, and very athletic, with a 36" vertical and over a 7' wing span. He had back to back 20 point, 20 rebound games at the Adidas May Classic which began getting him some D1 looks, most recently from Dane Fife and his IPFW staff. Jake can defend well and has a great midrange game. If he develops more consistent post moves, schools like IPFW would be the right fit for the big man.

Justin Gant - Indiana Elite One 16U - Gant isn't exactly under-the-radar as he's already well known in the state and by college coaches, but he often isn't as highly regarded as the other great 2011 big men of the state. I think Gant is probably the most versatile out of all the great 4's and 5's in the loaded junior class. I watched him more than once this summer, but one period of play at the Spiece Run n' Slam stood out to me in which he hit several pull up jumpers, had a few nice post moves, rebounded hard, and blocked and altered several shots on the main floor at IPFW. I also saw him play at the Indiana State team camp with his Terre Haute North team as the took on Travis Carroll and Danville, and Gant, in my opinion, was more impressive than the Purdue commit in that one game, although I've sung the praises of Carroll for a long time. Gant also always seems to end up bleeding when I watch him too, a sign of how hard he plays. He'll be a great mid-major player or a solid role player on a high-major team when all is said and done.

Parker Stouffer - Spiece Indy Heat Downs 17U - Playing as the third big behind Travis Carroll and Donnie Hale, two Purdue commits, this 6'7 power forward from Southwood impressed me this week as I watched for a bit at the Best of the Midwest. He saw lots of time on the floor in the finals against the Eric Gordon All-Stars while Hale was out with an injury. He plays hard all the time and has a great motor, working hard on the glass and on defense. He'll have an outstanding career at local NAIA powerhouse Indiana Wesleyan, where he very recently committed!

Tony Springmann - Spiece Select 16U - Bruising and burly is the way to describe the 6'8 power forward from Ft. Wayne Bishop Dwenger. He's another name that is known by many, but I simply do not think he receives the recognition he deserves. Playing on coach Jim Reamer's Select squad, Springmann has impressed just about every onlooker who has seen him this summer. The game that stands out to me was in the Adidas May Classic against Indiana Elite 2011 with stars like Jeremiah Davis, Dee Davis, Austin Ehterington, and Deng Leek. Spiece won that game on the back of Springmann who was utterly unstoppable in the post, and was not to be denied on the glass, outmuscling the much taller Leek for offensive and defensive rebounds. He reminds me a lot of former Purdue standout Steve Scheffler. No one plays with more heart or effort the the big redhead Springmann.

Roddy Richardson - Eric Gordon All-Stars 17U - The "other guy" on Lafayette Jeff, Richardson has often been in the shadows of high-scoring Broncho teammate Jesse Berry, who plays for the SYF program. While Berry can post huge scoring numbers, Richardson is more of a do-it-all player, as he's proven this summer. Roddy is a great defender, as he's strong and big at 6'3 or 6'4. He does whatever it takes to win and has been an integral part of the success of the brand new Gordon franchise, which recently won the championship in the Best of the Midwest tourney.

Gary Harris - Fieldhouse Elite 2012 Air Indiana Up Tempo - One of a few 2012 names I'm going to throw out there. We hear so much about Smith-Rivera, Marrero, Patterson, Hollowell, and rightfully so as they're amazing young players. But there are others who are just coming into their own as sophs-to-be, one of which is Hamilton Southeastern's Harris. A 6'3 guard who is supremely athletic and can score and defend, Harris has a ton of potential. He is a bit passive at times and can phase out of games if not inspired, but he's shown several flashes of brilliance when I've seen him. Those flashes have begun to draw a crowd of D1 coaches, most notably prominent was Illinois head man Bruce Weber during the Hoosier Shootout.

Julian Boatner - Fieldhouse Elite Team Indiana 17U - The high scoring guard from Bloomington North has done just that this summer: score. He has parlayed his knack for pouring in buckets into at least one D1 scholarship offer, from the Naval Academy. Playing against tough competition, Boatner has fared well, and I expect him to be a great mid-major combo guard in the future.

Patrick Obras and Kendall Waters - Eric Gordon Central Stars 15U - This duo from Pendleton Heights will be deadly during high school play as they team up with Kellen Dunham, who I lauded praise on yesterday as his Eric Gordon Indy Stars team won their bracket at Best of the Midwest. Obras is a 6'3 guard/forward with a long wingspan who can defend all spots on the floor. He is a capable shooter and plays HARD. Waters is an unselfish point guard who is lightning quick and can score in bunches. These two, with several others, have helped the Central Stars, who typically play up an age group, fare well this summer.

Joel Smith - Eric Gordon Central Stars 15U - Another soph-to-be on the Central Stars is somewhat of a familiar name to big time recruiniks, but again, like Gary Harris, needs far more recognition in the 2012 class. Smith is a 6'6 guard/forward from Heritage Christian who has really come into his own this summer as he has become more and more of a consisent scoring threat, which has in turn drawn the attention of college scouts, most notably Brad Stevens of Butler. Smith plays with passion and communicates on the floor better than anyone I've seen in the age group, a trait college coaches covet. One stretch of play at the Adiddas May Classic stood out to me as Smith was required to play center with Muncie Central's Nick Osborne out with injury. Smith battled against the bigs of Indiana Elite Team Indiana and dominated Peter Jurkin and Obji Aget, keeping them from scoring or rebounding, while scoring well over 20 points himself. Smith will be a high-major when all is said and done: count on it.

Chrishawn Hopkins - Team Blaze Select - The Indianapolis Manual product created a ton of buzz this week with his play at the Best of the Midwest. He was a relative unknown coming in due to only playing a portion of the high school season this past year, but by the end of the week, several mid-majors and a few high-major coaches were checking him out. Hopkins can flat out fly and was heard saying his vertical was measured at over forty inches. He impressed me at the Hoosier Shootout with outstanding dunks, but also with an ability to hit the three. A college coach buddy of mine said he is quickly becoming a priority to see.

Neal Beshears - Indiana Select - Playing in the shadows of Tyler Koch at Winchester, the 6'6 Beshears is skinny as a rail but pretty darn athletic and can really shoot it. If he doesn't add strength, he will likely end up as a great D2/NAIA player, which is awesome, but if he bulks up a bit, the same buddy of mine says he has a great shot of ending up D1.

Tyler Alderman - Eric Gordon Indy Stars 15U - Alderman has not always put up huge numbers his summer, but he has steadily improved throughout, and at 6'8 and with another inch or two in him, he has a ton of potential. The Fishers product is said to have really only picked up basketball seriously as a seventh grader, so he has a very high ceiling. He has always had the soft touch of a Euro-style big man, but over the last two weeks of play at the Hoosier Shootout and the Best of the Midwest, he has shown more of a willingness to bang in the post and has posted hard and finished well when given the ball on the blocks. A lot of potential here.

There are many more deserving under-the-radar kids who I could write about, but that is a small sampling of the talent in the state with some names you may not have heard of, or which are at least not the first on your mind. Check back more this week for updates!

Updates on Best of the Midwest

Hey hoops fans. Been at the Best of the Midwest tournament at the Fishers Fieldhouse all this week coaching and watching some of the greatest talent the state has to offer. A who's who of college coaches were assembled to see and be seen by kids they have either offered or are evaluating. Big time coaches including IU's Tom Crean, Ohio State's Thad Matta, Iowa's Todd Lickliter, Butler's Brad Stevens, IPFW's Dane Fife, and many, many others were court side for many games, most visible especially for the 15U Spiece Indy Stars team (playing up in the 16U bracket), a team which includes Ron Patterson of Broad Ripple, Jeremy Hollowel of Lawrence Central, Kellon Thomas of Southport, and Austin Burgett of Avon, among others. Here are some of the players who really stood out to me when I was able to watch in between coaching my own team.

Ron Patterson - Spiece Indy Stars - "Bus" had another great showing, leading the Stars to a runner-up finish while playing up an age level. He had a crowd-awing dunk on an out of bounds play in their semifinal matchup on an out of bounds set in which he faked a cut to the corner and then dove back into the lane for a lob pass which he promptly flushed with tow hands. I can't be totally sure, but from my vantage point, it seemed as if he shot Tom Crean a look as he ran back on defense, likely making sure the Hoosier head man got an appropriate eyeful. Patterson has consistently improved his outside shot and his handle, which still have a ways to go to be at a level of consistency needed for big time college play, but it's clear he's putting in the work. His defense is spectacular at times, but he too often relies on his speed, athleticism, and tremendous reach instead of just focusing on being the great, fundamental, lockdown defender he can easily be. The great thing about Patterson? All his shortcomings are minor and can be improved with hard work, and he's only a soph-to-be!

Austin Burgett - Speice Indy Stars - Burgett really caught my eye this weekend. He is a legit 6'9 at this point and appears to still have some growth left in him. He defends the post and the perimeter well. His post moves are solid and full of finesse, which is good as he is still slight of frame. He hit several midrange J's and a few threes while I watched, including a pull up trey on the break after he got a steal in transition defense. I like this kid a lot and I can see why Cincinnati and Iowa have offered him and why other schools like IU are close to pulling the trigger.

Jeremy Hollowell - Spiece Indy Stars - The last of coach Chris Hawkins' stars that I'll write about in this post is the 6'6 swing man from Lawrence Central, although several others played well, especially Sullivan's Rhett Smith, the man with the motor, and Southport's Kellon Thomas, the point man who makes them go. Hollowell hit a bunch of jumpers from deep and midrange and really surprised me with great defense. He often cut off drives with his long lateral strides and came over from the weak side to help by swatting away shots. Word is that Crean either has offered or is close to offering pending another visit. Sky is the limit for Jeremy, who is a nice kid and very personable.

Griffin McKenzie - Eric Gordon All-Stars - McKenzie, a recent IU target, is a 6'10 post player from Moeller in Ohio. He is coming off an injury so he is a bit under the radar, but I don't think that will last. He is a strong post defender and catches you off guard with his above average athleticism. I think it caught me off guard more than anything because he bears such a striking resemblance to former Hoosier Ben Allen. McKenzie has great post moves and demands the ball on the block with his ability to get great position and leverage on his defender. He has good 15-17 foot range and a great touch from the free throw line.

Ronnie Johnson - Eric Gordon Central Stars - The younger brother of North Central senior-to-be and Purdue commit Terone Johnson (who had another great week of work), Ronnie gets work done on Pat Mullin's 15U team. He is only 5'9, contrasted with his 6'3 bro, but he has a solid offensive game and is a pesky defender on the ball. He has an unorthodox lefty stroke, but he's deadly from deep. If he grows a little more or adds strength, he's a surefire D1 prospect.

Trey Hendrix - Fieldhouse White - The Lebanon product is another diminutive dynamo who can score in bunches. He is great with the ball in his hands with the ability to create for his teammates on the drive or finish himself. His greatest strength is his long range sniping, though, as in one game I saw, he had 7 or 8 treys. He may only be 5'9ish, but he can score on anyone.

Dylan Langkabel - Eric Gordon Central Stars - The 6'3 point man from 1A Morristown continues to impress throughout the course of the summer and into this week. He was recently invited to the Elite Boot Camp at Duke, and his play on the AAU circuit this summer, where he has averaged around 20 a game, is a big reason. He is deadly from deep with a pure stroke and is almost unstoppable on the high pick and roll and on 1-4 low isolation sets. If his defense improves on and off the ball, easily his biggest weakness, he has a high a ceiling as almost anyone in the 2012 class.

Kellen Dunham - Eric Gordon Central Stars - But, the player who impressed me the most this weekend was Pendleton Heights soph-to-be Kellen Dunham, who as a tenth grader has my personal vote as the best pure shooter in the state. Dunham earned MVP honors for the Central Stars, who won their 15U bracket, by scoring 34 and 28 points in their final two tourney games, with eight threes in each game. He is not one dimensional as you might think, like a Matt Roth. Dunham had several great drives which resulted in slashing scores, getting to the line, or nice assists to teammates, including a no-look dime in the finals that brought cheers from the crowd. In the finals, Dunham started the game nailing his first six threes, four of them in the first two minutes. The outburst from the fans made college coaches, including Crean and Fife, leave the 17U championship for a while to watch Dunham's display. Kellen was recently at the IU elite camp where he thoroughly impressed, and if he continues to play like he has recently, he is no doubt a Big Ten-caliber player. If he grows another inch or two from his current 6'3 and 1/2 and can add strength, he could be the next Scott Wood, as one college coach told me.

IWU/P-Hoops Prospect and Skills Camp

Ladies and gentlemen, P-Hoops is making his return to blogging in the very near future, as I will be getting back to covering the Indiana high school hoops scene and the summer continues and come to a close leading up to the start of a new season. However, one BIG thing that I will be blogging on is the Indiana Wesleyan/P-Hoops Skills and Prospect Camp on JULY 18, which is a joint effort between Wildcats coach Greg Tonagel and his staff and yours truly. The camp, which is on JULY 18, goes from 1-6 PM and is for freshmen-to-be through seniors-to-be. Coach Tonagel, who starred at Valparaiso University, has patterned this camp after the NBA Pre-Draft camps to assess players and aid in their development. The main focus on Tonagel's end will be teaching skills to help players be successful at the next level and educating them about the recruiting process. P-Hoops will be on hand to evaluate the talent for write-ups on the blog. This should be not only a great camp, but a great chance for kids to be seen. If you want more information on the camp or have a player who would be interested in attending the IWU/P-Hoops Prospect and Skills Camp on July 18, contact Coach Tonagel at (765)677-2320, or visit www.iwuwildcats.com for more details.
