Updated ESPN Rankings

ESPN released their updated prospect rankings today. They give the Top 100 in the Class of 2012, the Super 60 for the 2013 Class, and the Terrific 25 for 2014. Overall, Indiana was very well represented on these 3 lists, especially in the Class of 2012. We placed 9 current Indiana high school basketball players in the Top 100, 12 if you count guys who now play at other schools. Here is how the rankings break down with regard to Indiana guys.

Class of 2012

#4 Mitch McGary

#16 Gary Harris

#32 D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera

#34 Yogi Ferrell

#41 Jeremy Hollowell

#49 Hanner Perea

#60 Glenn Robinson III

#63 A.J. Hammons

#72 Rapheal Davis

#81 Kellen Dunham

#86 Ron Patterson

#89 Ronnie Johnson

I like these rankings more than the list that Rivals came out with earlier this year. Rivals had Hanner Perea ranked at #15, ahead of everyone besides McGary, that is simply too high. I think that ESPN pretty much go the order of the Indiana guys right now, expect I think Ron Patterson should probably be higher, maybe in the 60's. I know he has been sliding down everyone's rankings lately, but I still like the way he plays the game. That is really the only change that I would have made to these rankings. No matter what, placing 12 players in the Top 100 shows that Indiana may well have the deepest 2012 class in the nation.

As for the class of 2013, Indiana only got 1 prospect in the Super 60 with Purdue recruit Bryson Scott coming at #53. While I said that ESPN did a great job with the 2012 rankings, I think they missed on the Indiana guys for 2013. I don't see how V.J. Beachem is not the #1 player in the class in Indiana, and Rivals had him at #42, with Scott at #45. I realize that our 2013 class is not nearly as deep as 2012, so those would probably be the only two that I would put in the Super 60, but I just don't see how they could put Scott ahead of Beachem.

In the Terrific 25 Indiana put 3 prospects on the list. Always nice to see two of the Top 10 be from the Hoosier State!

#5 Trey Lyles

#10 Jaquan Lyle

#24 James Blackmon Jr.

Overall, I think ESPN did a very good job with the rankings, the only complaint I have is with V.J. Beachem not being a part of the Super 60. However, Indiana had a very good showing on all of the rankings and the future looks bright for our basketball rich state.

Class of 2013 Rankings

Here is an updated look at the Class of 2013. It may not have the star power that the classes of 2012 and 2014 have, but there are still a lot of Division I prospects. Indiana, Purdue, and Michigan commits make up 6 of the top 10.

Updated August 25, 2011

1. Zak Irvin: 6'5'' Shooting Guard, Hamilton Southeastern H.S.

Committed: University of Michigan

Zak has a great overall skill set, very good mid-range game and can shoot it from the outside as well. He is a great athlete and has good length. Handles the ball well which lets him play a type of "point forward" position. He has had as good of a July as just about anybody in the country in my opinion, I really enjoyed watching him play.

2. Bryson Scott: 6'0'' Point Guard, Northrop H.S.

Committed: Purdue University

A very aggressive, scoring point guard. He is a great athlete who doesn't mind getting into the paint and going up against the big guys down low, he has good strength which allows him to finish against bigger defenders. One of the best defenders in the class. He is a streaky shooter from 3-point range, that would be his main area that he must work on. Great at attacking off the dribble.

3. V.J. Beachem: 6'6'' Small Forward, New Haven H.S.

Offers From: Purdue, Butler, Notre Dame

Interest From: Indiana, Cincinnati, Xavier, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Minnesota, Stanford, Tennessee, Florida

Beachem is a long and very skilled perimeter player. He has great all-around offensive ability. He can shoot the ball as well as create for himself off the dribble. I really like the diversity of his offensive game. He will need to get stronger and focus on making himself more of a lock-down defender on the defensive end, however his overall talent makes him deserving of one of the top spots in the 2013 Class. His ceiling is probably the highest out of any of these prospects.

4. Collin Hartman: 6'6'' Small Forward, Cathedral H.S.

Committed: Indiana University

Collin has the prototypical body type to play the 3 spot. He is a very good outside shooter and rebounds the ball well. Also, he handles the ball well and can distribute well enough that he could even play the 2 in college. I watched him play quite a few times this summer, both at the Adidas Invitational and Best of the Midwest. I was very impressed with how well he shot the ball, and with the range he displayed. He was hitting 3's out to 25 feet. He has been getting physically stronger, but will need to continue working hard in the weight room to take his game to the next level.

5. Demetrius Jackson: 6'1'' Point Guard, Mishawaka Marion H.S.

Offers From: Michigan, Xavier

Interest From: Illinois, Indiana, Notre Dame, Michigan State

Jackson is quick and athletic, can really break down the defense off the dribble. He is very smart on the court and distributes the ball well, good floor general. He will need to continue improving his shooting ability to really take his game to the next level, but showed some signs of improvement when I saw him at the Kentucky Hoop Fest this summer.

6. Devin Davis: 6'6'' Small Forward, Warren Central H.S.

Committed: Indiana University

Long and very athletic wing player. He handles the ball well for his size and likes to attack the rim off the dribble. Great rebounder, especially on the offensive glass. Devin plays the game with a great motor, never stops working. The overall tools are there for him to be a big time star at IU, but he must improve his jump shooting and become more of an offensive threat to really become an all-around player.

7. Basil Smotherman: 6'6'' Small Forward, Heritage Christian H.S.

Committed: Purdue University

Great competitor, attacks the glass and gets rebounds at both ends of the court. The lefty has a nice shooting stroke and likes to play around the perimeter. He showcased a could mid-range game at the Best of the Midwest, knocking down some nice pull-ups off the dribble.

8. Zavier Turner: 5'8'' Point Guard, Pike H.S.

Offers From: Evansville, Georgia State, St. Louis, Loyola

Considering: Indiana State

Great floor general, elite quickness and seems to always find the open teammate. Sure, he is small, but his quickness and strength allow him to still be effective against taller defenders. I have really feel in love with watching Zavier play this summer, he is very fun to watch and he is just a great player. Because of his lack of size, he may end up a the mid-major level, but he is the type of player that could take over March Madness and lead a "cinderella" team.

9. Leo Svete: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Penn H.S.

Offers From: Drake, Western Michigan, Bucknell, Loyola

Interest From: Wake Forest, Florida, NC State, BYU, Virginia Tech, Ball State, Kent State, Notre Dame

He is a versatile offensive player who could play the 1-3 spots. He is a great jump shooter, very nice mid-range game. He is improving his game going to the rim, but needs to keep working in that area to take his game to another level. Leo is a very hard worker and I expect him to have a big rest of the month which could bring in a couple more offers.

10. Austin Hatch: 6'6'' Shooting Guard, Canterbury H.S.

Committed: University of Michigan

Thoughts and prayers are with this young man right now after the horrific tragedy that recently occurred. A little under the radar around the state, Austin is a very good outside shooter and uses his size and strength to be a match-up problem for defenses. He rebounds very well from the guard spot. As a true shooting guard, you have to like his size. We all hope that Austin can achieve a full recovery so we can watch him play basketball yet again. With the drive and determination of this kid I am sure that anything is possible.

11. Brenton Scott: 6'0'' Point Guard, Northrop H.S.

Offers From: IPFW, Ohio, Indiana State, Ball State

Interest From: Butler, Purdue, Xavier, Illinois

Very solid overall point guard. He is a little more of a distributor than his brother Bryson. He is a very good 3 point shooter and a great defender. Not as big of a recruit as his brother, but still will be a very good mid-major point guard.

12. Jaylon Brown: 5'11'' Point Guard, Fishers H.S.

Offers From: American, Ohio, Toledo, Evansville

Interest From: Butler

Jaylon has really jumped onto the scene after this summer. He is very explosive and quick, his relatively small size does not hold him back. I expect he will have a strong junior campaign this winter for Fishers.

13. Mo Evans: 6'0'' Point Guard, Cathedral H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: IUPUI, Wright State, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Ball State, Evansville, IPFW, Loyola

I had not seen him until this July, and Mo quickly became one of my favorite players to watch after seeing him at the Adidas Invitational and Best of the Midwest. He is the best passer in the state in my opinion, and also a great ball handler. He is very quick and runs the transition game as well as anyone. Not a great shooter, but gets his teammates lots of easy baskets.

14. Nick Davidson: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Andrean H.S.

Committed: Valparaiso University

One of the best shooters in the state, especially off the catch. He gets to the foul line a lot, and is a great free throw shooter. He isn't a great defender, needs to work on getting a little quicker. Still, Nick's offensive shooting ability alone makes him a good prospect.

15. Richard Freeman: 6'7'' Power Forward, Lawrence Central H.S.

Offers From: IPFW

Interest From: Butler, Central Michigan, Fordham, Iowa

Very long, athletic big man. He has a very good mid-range game for his size, but will need to develop more of a back to the basket game in order to become more well rounded. Right now he is more of a face up guy, a solid mid-major prospect. I saw him at both the Adidas Invitational and Best of the Midwest, looked good rebounding the ball and showed that he can handle it a little bit as well. His recruiting could really jump up with a good end to the summer.

16. Mike Crawford: 6'5'' Small Forward, Tipton H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Wright State, Gardner-Webb, Loyola, Wichita State

He handles the ball well for his size, and also has a very good inside game. Good outside shooter as well. All-around offensive threat. Have really enjoyed watching him play this month and he is a guy that will continue to get on the radar screen of some bigger colleges. Offers should start coming pretty soon.

17. Darryl Baker: 6'1'' Shooting Guard, Southport H.S.

Offers From: Vanderbilt

Interest From: Indiana, Louisville, Purdue, Xavier

Darryl is a very good overall athlete who likes to attack the basket. His strength allows him to finish through contact when he gets into the paint. He needs to improve his outside shooting consistency. I have seen a lot of him over the course of this summer and he seems to disappear offensively at times. He is good enough off the dribble to take over and I would like to see him do that more often. Eligibility concerns continue to swirl after his transfer to Southport.

18. Franko House: 6'5'' Small Forward, Concord H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: IUPUI

Very versatile big guy who has good athleticism for his size. He shoots the ball well from the outside and can even bring the ball up the court if needed. Any program who needs a guy who can play the 3-5 spots at a high level, Franko House is your guy.

19. Alex Etherington: 6'6'' Small Forward, Hamilton Heights H.S.

Offers From: IPFW

Interest From: Ball State, Central Michigan, Western Michigan

He is a long and athletic wing with the prototypical body type to play the 3 spot. He doesn't mind to slash to the basket and score down low, and is also a pretty solid rebounder. He doesn't shoot it quite as well as his brother yet, but once he does he could really shoot up the rankings. Alex should have a huge high school season now that he will be the #1 option.

20. Markese McGuire: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Elkhart Memorial H.S.

Offers From: Evansville, Mercer, Northern Illinois

Interest From: Ohio

Handles the ball well enough that he could play the point as well as the 2-guard. He is pretty strong and can finish through contact when attacking the basket. Pretty good outside shooter too. I think he would be a very good low to mid-major player.

21. Blake Simmons: 6'4'' Small Forward, Castle H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: Evansville, Illinois

Simmons is an all-around offensive player who plays with a high basketball IQ (son of Evansville's Head Coach Marty Simmons). He shot the ball very well from 3-point range when I saw him at Best of the Midwest. Rebounds pretty well too.

22. Joe Fagan: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Chatard H.S.

Offers From: Duquesne

Interest From: Ball State, Wright State, Bowling Green, Bucknell, IUPUI, IPFW, Gardner-Webb

Very good outside shooter. He has a tendency to disappear for periods of time, so he mainly just needs to be a little more aggressive. Works hard on the court. He holds one DI offer right now, and I could see him getting lots of Division II interest.

23. Clay Yeo: 6'5'' Small Forward, Triton H.S.

Committed: Valparaiso University

For as thin as Clay is, he finishes well around the rim and has a pretty solid mid-range game. Right now he gets most of his points from flashing in the middle or slashing along the baseline, but if he can develop an outside game he could really become tough to stop.

24. David Hill: 5'11'' Point Guard, Cathedral H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: Evansville

Solid all-around point guard. Great at distributing the ball and limits turnovers. He doesn't look to score much for himself, and probably needs to become a little more aggressive if he wants to pick up more Division I interest.

25. Milos Kostic: 6'8'' Power Forward, Bishop Noll H.S.

Committed: Northwestern University

Milos surprised some people when he announced his commitment last winter. He was a bit unknown around the state, and is still a little bit of a mysterious. After a relatively quite sophomore season, I expect he may break out this year as he will be the go-to-guy at Bishop Noll.

26. Trey Patterson: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Pike H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From:

Solid ball handler, looks to penetrate off the dribble and get to the rim. He is strong and can finish through contact inside. I like his aggressiveness on the offensive end, and can be a good defender as well. Good low Division I or Division II prospect.

27. John McCloud: 6'6'' Power Forward, Lawrence North H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: IPFW, James Madison, Kent State, Miami Ohio, Western Michigan, Central Michigan

I have seen quite a bit of John at both the Adidas Invitational and Best of the Midwest. He runs the floor well and gets quite a few easy buckets in transition. He has good hands and finishes well around the rim. Good rebounder on both ends of the court. Can be a solid low-DI guy.

28. LaBradford Sebree: 6'3'' Small Forward, Kokomo H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From:

I like the strength of this athletic wing player. He is very strong going to the basket off the dribble and can finish through lots of contact. As he continues to work on his outside shooting he will become even harder to stop on the offensive end. I see him as a DII prospect at this time, but he could probably play low-Division I as well.

29. Hulian Terrell: 6'6'' Center, Lawrence North H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From:

Good length. He is a good area rebounder and can block some shots defensively. Hulian has good hands in the post and finishes well around the basket. Probably a Division II guy at this time.

30. Darius Latham: 6'5'' Power Forward, North Central H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From:

Darius is a pretty high level football recruit, but he has not ruled out playing basketball at the college level. He moves well for as big as he is, and has good hands and very good footwork. Would be a very solid Division II player.

UPDATED!- Class of 2012 Rankings

The Class of 2012 is probably one of the most talented, deepest classes Indiana has seen in a while. With a plethora of Division I prospects, including some of the top prospects in the nation, this class could rival that of any other state. When there is this much talent it makes ranking the players pretty difficult, and I ended up having to put legitimate Division I prospects in the 40's. That being said, here is the Indiana Recruiting Guide's updated look at the top 50 prospects for the Class of 2012.

Updated July 23, 2011

1. Gary Harris: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Hamilton Southeastern H.S.

Offers From: Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, IUPUI, Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon State, Alabama

Interest From: Kentucky

Gary is a very strong and athletic perimeter player. He really likes to attack the rim and has a good mid-range game. Good defender. As he continues to improve his 3-point shooting he will become an even better prospect. I watched him play quite a bit at the Top 100 Showcase, and while he didn't exactly dominate, you could tell that he was the top player at the event. I think he will make an instant impact wherever he decides to play his college ball.

2. Jeremy Hollowell: 6'7'' Small Forward, Lawrence Central H.S.

Committed: Indiana University

He has had a huge month of July so far and has asserted himself as one of the elite prospects in the country. I watched him score at will throughout the Adidas Invitational, showcasing good range on his 3-point shot. Hollowell handles the ball well for his size, and uses his length and athleticism to be a match-up nightmare for defenses. Until this summer a knock on him had been his lack of aggressiveness, but from what I have seen of him that is no longer a problem.

3. Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell: 5'11'' Point Guard, Park Tudor H.S.

Committed: Indiana University

He is one of the quickest guys in the state, especially when handling the basketball. Yogi looks to penetrate the defense and score, which he usually does at will. He will need to keep working on his outside shooting, but he has been improving in that area. After watching him at the Adidas Invitational I came away impressed with how he had improved his shooting. Should make an impact right away for Coach Crean and the Hoosiers.

4. Glenn Robinson III: 6'6'' Small Forward, Lake Central H.S.

Committed: University of Michigan

The son of former Purdue great, Glenn Robinson, Glenn III has a great body type and runs the floor very well. He can handle the ball and score off either the catch or the dribble. He has added probably 15-20 pounds of muscle since the winter and that has really helped him out on the court. He was arguably the best player at the Top 100 Showcase and has had a very good July. I expect him to become one of the top contributors at Michigan within a few years.

5. Hanner Perea: 6'8'' Power Forward, La Lumiere School

Committed: Indiana University

Hanner may have the most potential of any player in this class. However, his skill is still pretty raw and may be a couple years away from being a force in the Big 10. He is very strong and athletic which gives him the ability to guard many different positions. He is a great rebounder and uses his athleticism to block some shots. Also, Hanner gets up and down the floor well and can score in transition. It seems like every game I watched of his he threw down at least 1 or 2 ESPN worthy dunks, however that is about all he would do on the offensive end. Still a great talent and could give IU some good minutes off the bench right away.

6. Ron Patterson: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Broad Ripple H.S.

Committed: Indiana University

Ron has a little more of an "old-school" offensive game. He isn't the best athlete in this class, but he finds many different ways to score. He has good strength which allows him to finish through contact when attacking the basket. He is a good, not great shooter and will need to continue to develop in that area. He shows some flashes of bad attitude which will need to be worked out before stepping foot in Bloomington.

7. Ronnie Johnson: 5'10'' Point Guard, North Central H.S.

Committed: Purdue University

Yes, he is small. However, Ronnie does not let his height stop him from picking apart a defense. He shots the ball well from the outside with great range and is a great passer. Even though defenders are often taller than him by 3-4 inches, he is quick enough to create space and get open shots. He has been as impressive this month as anybody else in this class. Ronnie is a winner who will take over the game when his teams needs it most.

8. Austin Burgett: 6'8'' Small Forward, Avon H.S.

Committed: University of Notre Dame

Austin can play either the 3 or the 4 spot at the next level. He is a good 3-point shooter and runs the floor very well for his size. I like his versatility and the he can score in a variety of ways. Will need to get in the weight room and get a little stronger, but he still does a very good job on the boards at both ends of the court. Showed that he is a very good shot blocker at the Adidas Invitational.

9. Kellen Dunham: 6'5'' Shooting Guard, Pendleton Heights H.S.

Committed: Butler University

He is the best shooter in Indiana's Class of 2012. Dunham moves very well off the ball, and is always ready to shoot. Has a very good offensive mind-set and overall basketball IQ. He isn't the greatest athlete, but works hard to get open and is smart enough to find a way to score. Also has a very quick first step when going to the basket. Very good pick-up for Coach Brad Stevens.

10. Raphael Davis: 6'5'' Shooting Guard, La Lumiere

Committed: Purdue University

Very good shooter, can really fill it up in a variety of ways. Davis is a great competitor and works hard on the defensive end of the floor. He is a good rebounder from the guard spot. Has a tendency to force the action at times, but overall, Raphael is good in-state recruit for Coach Painter and the Boilermakers. Davis has decided to transfer to La Lumiere for his final season.

11. Nick Osborne: 6'8'' Power Forward, Muncie Central H.S.

Offers From: Ball State, Fordham, IPFW, Loyola, Miami (OH), Ohio, Xavier

Interest From: Stanford, Alabama, Boston College, Butler, Oklahoma State

Great rebounder on both ends of the court. Also, Nick has the skills to face up to the basket and score with his mid-range game, or use post moves with his back to the basket. I really like his body-type and all-around skills. Probably the one of the 2 or 3 strongest players in this class, but it causes him to get into foul trouble sometimes. He should become a very good mid-major player.

12. DeJaun Marrero: 6'6'' Small Forward, Bowman Academy

Offers From: Xavier, Purdue, Ohio State, Memphis, Indiana, Illinois, DePaul, Cincinnati, Minnesota

Interest From: Kansas, Florida

Marrero runs the floor very well and is a great rebounder at both ends of the court. He needs to work on developing his shooting range, but already has a very good inside game for his size. A lot of his offers and interest came pretty early, and his recruiting has slowed down recently but he is still an elite prospect.

13. Eron Harris: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Lawrence North H.S.

Offers From: Wisconsin, Dayton, Kent State, Ball State, Evansville, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Tennessee Tech, Buffalo

Interest From: New Mexico, Xavier

Eron has totally blown up. He went from having just low to mid-major offers to being only of the most hotly sought after recruits in the state. He is very athletic and can shoot the ball very well. Very impressed with his play at the Adidas Invitational, and obviously many college coaches were as well.

14. Patrick Ingram: 6'2'' Shooting Guard, North Central H.S.

Offers From: Iowa, Indiana State, Loyola, Southern Illinois, Ball State, St. Louis

Interest From: Tennessee

Ingram is quick and athletic, likes to attack the rim. He has not been a go to player to this point in high school, but he will have to shoulder a bigger load this year as D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera is gone. He has had a huge month of July and I was very impressed with his play at the Adidas Invitational. Interest around Ingram continues to grow.

15. D.J. Balentine: 6'1'' Point Guard, Kokomo H.S.

Offers From: Indiana State, IPFW, Loyola, Missouri State, Evansville, Wright State

Considering: Tennessee, Miami (OH)

Balentine is a very good shooter which allows him to stretch the defense and open up other teammates, or lets him penetrate and get to the basket. He is a big, strong body that can absorb quite a bit of contact when going to the basket. Showcased a very good pull up jumper in transition at the Adidas Invitational.

16. Michael Ramey: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Southport H.S.

Offers From: Ball State, Fordham, St. Joseph's (PA), IPFW, Gardner-Webb, Morehead State, Eastern Kentucky, Southern Illinois

Interest From: Clemson, Georgia Tech, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, VCU, Virginia Tech

Great outside shooter, one of the best strokes in the state which helped him shoot over 50% from beyond the arc as a junior. Ramey will need to develop more of a game off the dribble, but his shooting alone makes him a solid mid-major prospect.

17. R.J. Hunter: 6'5'' Small Forward, Pike H.S.

Committed: Georgia State University

With his father, Ron Hunter, accepting the job at Georgia State, there was speculation as to if R.J. would remain at Pike for his senior season. R.J. is a long, lean wing player who can score in many different ways. He is a good outside shooter and can also put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. He will need to bulk up over the summer and has had some injury problems, but when he is healthy he is one of the top talents in the class.

18. Jared Drew: 6'5'' Small Forward, Cathedral H.S.

Offers From: Wisconsin Green-Bay, Indiana State, IPFW, IUPUI, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, Evansville, St. Louis, Lamar, Loyola

Interest From: Boston College, Tennessee, Wichita State, Missouri State

Good in the open court and when running the floor. He has good length which makes him a solid defender, and he can guard multiple possessions. Jared has a good mid-range game, very good around the basket too. I have been impressed with him this month and expect interest to continue to pick up around him.

19. Kellon Thomas: 5'11'' Point Guard, Southport H.S.

Offers From: Georgia State, Loyola, IUPUI, IPFW, Eastern Illinois, Southern Illinois UC-Davis, Kennesaw State, Morehead State, Gardner-Webb, Belmont

Interest From: Tennessee, Wright State, Western Kentucky, Butler, Wichita State

Kellon is a scoring point guard who is always looking to attack the basket. He is very strong for his size and finishes well inside. Can be effective from the perimeter as well. He has a tendency to get a little sloppy with the ball when closely guarded, but overall he tends to make things happen on the offensive end.

20. Jacobby Bledsoe: 5'10'' Point Guard, Hamilton Southeastern H.S.

Offers From: Georgia State, Drake, Oregon State, Western Kentucky, Western Michigan, Creighton, Eastern Michigan, Evansville, Navy

Interest From: Dayton, Michigan State, Tennessee, Southern Illinois, Ball State

Very quick and a great ball handler. He creates well for himself as well as his teammates. Good defender. I was impressed with the progress he had made on his outside shooting ability when I saw him play at the Adidas Invitational. Can for the action a little bit sometimes, but for the most part he makes things happen on the offensive end. One of the better point guards in the class.

21. Obij Aget: 7'1'' Center, La Lumiere School

Offers From: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Missouri

Interest From: Indiana, Tennessee

Aget is a huge project, no pun intended. I really like his athleticism for such a long body, but he just doesn't have a lot of basketball skill right now. I am probably not as high on him as some people because I just don't see him developing into much more than a guy who can average 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks a game at the next level. His size alone demands collegiate interes

t, but I do not expect him to have a tone of success at the DI level.

22. Edward Seay: 6'9'' Power Forward, Merrillville H.S.

Offers From:

Interest From: Northern Illinois, Dayton, Loyola, Jacksonville, Western Michigan, San Francisco, Illinois State

Seay had one of the best days out of anyone at the Top 100 Showcase. His length and athleticism for a big guy grabs the attention of any college coach in attendance. He is a very good shot blocker and rebounder. I like his offensive potential, he should develop into a very good post presence who can face-up and get around slower defenders. Interest around Seay should continue to pick up, I have heard through a source that Michigan has been following him.

23. J.T. Yoho: 6'5'' Shooting Guard, Eastern Greene H.S.

Offers From: Bowling Green, IPFW, Gardner-Webb, Wright State

Interest From:

Very crafty on the offensive end, he has a very good mid-range pull up jumper and is also a very good 3-point shooter. His size allows him to play the 2 or the 3 and he handles the ball well enough to even play the point if he has too. I was very impressed with his play at the Best of the Midwest. He will go in and score right away for a mid-major school.

24. Jermaine Myers: 6'0'' Point Guard, Culver Academy

Offers From: Ball State, Drake, Indiana State, Ohio, Valparaiso

Interest From: UNLV

Good floor general who lead Culver Academy to the state title game this year. Very heady point guard who can also score it. He will be a very good mid-major point guard from the day he steps on campus.

25. Rhett Smith: 6'7'' Small Forward, Sullivan H.S.

Committed: Indiana State University

Very nice combo-forward who can play either the 3 or the 4 spot. Good athlete who handles the ball well for a big guy.

26. Elijah Ray: 6'6'' Power Forward, Bowman Academy

Offers From: Valparaiso, Indiana State

Interest From: Iowa, Harvard, Iowa State, Tennessee, Boston College, Marquette, Illinois, UC-Irvine

Very strong body, he has a great game down low for being a little undersized. Elijah's combination of strength and athleticism gives him an advantage on the boards against bigger opponents. I was very impressed with him at the Top 100. He will be a very good mid-major player.

27. Joe Reed: 6'8'' Power Forward, Center Grove H.S.

Offers From: Toledo, IPFW, Lewis (DII)

Interest From: Stetson, American, Ball State, Miami Ohio, Belmont, IUPUI, Wright State, Northern Kentucky

He has really been picking up interest this month. I was very impressed with him at the Adidas Invitational. Joe runs the floor well and is a good athlete for a post player. He has a good face up game and good footwork in the post. As he continues to develop he should pick up a few more offers.

28. Ryan Weber: 6'6'' Small Forward, Roncalli H.S.

Offers From: Drake, IPFW, Gardner-Webb, Lamar

Interest From: Richmond, Northeastern, Furman, Stetson, Belmont, Indiana State, Eastern Kentucky

Ryan is very versatile, he could play either the 3 or the 4, but will probably be on the wing in college. He has good post skills offensively, and also a very good mid-range game. He has been working hard on his ball handling which will really give him an all-around offensive game.

29. Logan Irwin: 6'0'' Point Guard, Wawassee H.S.

Committed: Stetson University

Logan has a great mid-range game and is a big time scorer. He likes to penetrate and pull-up. He became one of my favorite guys to watch this month. He is a tireless worker and a great on-ball defender. You know your team is in good hands when your best player is also your hardest worker, and that is exactly what Logan is.

30. Jalen Pendleton: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Evansville Bosse H.S.

Offers From: Indiana State

Interest From: Missouri State, Tennessee State, Evansville

Pendleton is a strong guard who uses his body well to get inside and score. He is a very good rebounder from the guard spot. I saw him play at Best of the Midwest and he is a very good on-ball defender. He likes to penetrate and finish in the paint. Will need to develop more of a perimeter game.

Final Class of 2011 Rankings (1-25)

After a great 4 years of high school, culminating with the 2011 season, this list of players has stood above the rest. Here is the final Indiana Recruiting Guide Class of 2011 Rankings. If you see any glaring absences or a player we have listed as "Undeclared" is, in fact, committed please email me at ramseyb14@hanover.edu!

1. Marquis Teague: 6'2'' Point Guard, Pike H.S.

University of Kentucky

Not only is he the top player in Indiana, Teague is arguably the #1 player in the nation. He is very explosive going to the basket, and finishes well around the rim. He has good strength which allows him to draw contact and get to the free throw line. His first step is amazing. Teague is a perfect fit for the Dribble-Drive Offense at UK.

2. Cody Zeller: 6'11" Power Forward, Washington H.S.

Indiana University

This is finally the last Zeller that will show up in Indiana recruiting news for quite some time. The youngest of the star brothers plays much like Tyler, he runs the floor very well for a big man, is a great rebounder, and has a good mid-range game. Cody is a great pick up for IU, and I expect him to help take the Hoosiers back to the top of the NCAA rankings.

3. Braden Dawson: 6'6'' Small Forward, Lew Wallace H.S.

Michigan State

Very athletic, top level rebounder for a wing player. He crashes the offensive boards very well. He is becoming a better outside shooter, but still has some work to do. His size and length causes serious match-up problems for defenders. Dawson will be a great player for Coach Izzo and the Spartans.

4. Nic Moore: 5'10'' Point Guard, Warsaw Community H.S.

Illinois State

Moore is one of the best pure scorers in the state. He can shoot the ball from deep as well as take it to the basket. He is a great penetrator and uses his strength to finish around the rim. Has the potential to become one of the better mid-major players in the country

5. Michael Chandler: 6'10'' Center, Lawrence North H.S.

Central Florida

Chandler is a great rebounder and shot blocker. He is a true defensive stopper in the lane. His offensive game needs some fine tuning, but he is strong and athletic which allows him to get some easy buckets down low. Has de-committed from both Louisville and Xavier.

6. Darwin "Dee" Davis: 5'10'' Point Guard, Bloomington South H.S.

Xavier

Davis is as quick as they come. He is a very pesky defender. Nobody is better at running the fast-break, he is great at changing speeds and directions, and can find the open man or finish on his own. If he can become a better outside shooter his game would really take off to the next level.

7. Andy Smeathers: 6'6'' Small Forward, Center Grove H.S.

Butler

An overall good athlete. He can light it up from outside, is a good passer, and attacks the rim well. If he can add some muscle he could become just as dominate as Gordon Hayward was at Butler.

8. Justin Gant: 6'8'' Power Forward, Terre Haute North Vigo H.S.

Indiana State

Gant's offensive skills are great all-around. He can shoot very well, he handles the ball well for a power forward, and he is a great passer. He runs the floor very well. In order to become even more dominate, he will need to get stronger and develop some more back to the basket moves.

9. Antonio Wilson: 6'8'' Power Forward, Elmhurst H.S.

Undeclared

Super athlete. He is very long, and runs the floor well for his size. He uses his athletic ability well on the defensive side and is a good rebounder. Wilson needs to work hard to become more of an offensive presence. Would be a very good Mid-Major player, but is probably going the Junior College route first.

10. Austin Etherington: 6'6'' Small Forward, Hamilton Heights H.S.

Indiana University

He is a great scorer, can really shoot from the outside. His length makes him very tough to guard on the perimeter. He will need to become a better defender in order to be able to guard the athletes in the Big 10. Should be a solid 4 year contributor at IU.

11. Alex Pritchett: 6'7'' Power Forward, Beford North Lawrence H.S.

Wright State

Great shooter for his size, also a very solid rebounder. Will need to work on his post game to become more of a true power forward in college. He is a hard worker so I am sure he will make the needed improvements. I expect big things from Pritchett.

12. Kendall Griffen: 6'5'' Small Forward, Avon H.S.

Wright State

He is a very good inside scorer, uses his body well, good at drawing contact. He works very hard at all times. Griffen needs to add more perimeter skills to be more effective at the next level.

13. Adonis Filer: 6'3'' Point Guard, Hammond Bishop Noll H.S.

Brewster Academy

The Indiana All-Star averaged 15.9 points per game this season for State Runner-Up Bishop Noll. I think that after a year of Prep School he will become a solid Division I player.

14. Austin Richie: 6'2'' Shooting Guard, Lowell H.S.

Western Michigan

Richie exemplifies everything I think an old-school Indiana High School Basketball player should be. First off, he will literally shoot from anywhere on the court, and make it. He is maybe the best shooter in the state, and can simply fill it up. Needs to get stronger, but he will be a big time scorer for the next 4 years in college.

15. Jeremiah Jones: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Merrillville H.S.

Undeclared

He is a very good leaper, attacks the basket with lots of explosiveness. However, he tends to settle for way too many outside shots. If he accepts his role and becomes more of a slasher, he could be a good player for a small D1 school. However, he most likely will be attending prep school next season.

16. Jonny Marlin: 5'11'' Point Guard, Center Grove H.S.

IPFW

Marlin is a true "floor general." He is a good shooter, and a great ball handler and passer. I expect him to be a great point guard for Coach Fife and IPFW.

17. P.J. Boutte: 5'8'' Point Guard, T.C. Howe H.S.

Detroit

He is one of the quickest players in the state. His ball-handling is simply amazing, and his passing is about the same. Obviously he is small, but there is nobody better at getting up and down the floor than P.J. I think he will be a great fit at Detroit.

18. Chris Page: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Plainfield H.S.

Albany

He is long and has good leaping ability. He does a very good job of getting to the rim. He shoots the ball well from the outside, but will need to improve his ball handling so he can go around defenders at the next level.

19. Max Landis: 6'1'' Point Guard, Perry Meridian H.S.

Gardner-Webb

Landis is a very solid basketball player. He does everything pretty well, shooting, ball-handling and passing. He will need to get in the weight room and add some pounds to be able to handle the ball pressure at the D1 level.

20. Joe Crisman: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Munster H.S.

Loyola

His main draw back is that he is not overly athletic. Crisman is a good all-around player with no blaring weaknesses. He defends well and is a strong kid. Should be a nice player at Loyola.

21. Zac VanDeWater: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Whitko H.S.

Indiana Wesleyan

VanDeWater turned down lots of serious D1 interest to attend IWU. He is a very good scorer, shoots well from outside and uses lots of good fakes to get to the basket and finish around the rim. He and future teammate Tyler Greathouse could be the foundation to lead IWU to a NAIA national title.

22. Josh Gentry: 6'4'' Small Forward, Pike H.S.

North Dakota

Gentry is very athletic. He attacks the rim well for his size. Plays very good defense. He will need to work on his shooting range.

23. Tyler Greathouse: 6'8'' Power Forward, Columbus North H.S.

Indiana Wesleyan

Greathouse is part of a stellar recruiting class for IWU. Between him and Zac VanDeWater, they picked up two prospects with D1 offers. He is a great shooter for his size which allows him to really expand the defense. He is a very good rebounder as well. Will be dominate at IWU.

24. Dustin Smith: 6'2'' Shooting Guard, Eastern Hancock H.S.

Maine Central Institute

Smith has really been shooting up the rankings since this summer. He is a lights out shooter, especially when he is able to catch and shoot. He likes to run around screens and moves very well without the ball. He as become a much better ball handler, but will need more work so he can create more shots for himself. Smith is a solid small D1 or D2/D3 prospect after he attends Prep School.

25. Michael Albrecht: 5'11'' Point Guard, Crown Point H.S.

Northfield Mount Hermon Prep

"Spike" is a good shooter, good passer, an overall solid point guard. Could run an offense for a small D1 or D2 school after spending a year at Prep School.

Final Class of 2011 Rankings (26-50)

26. Eric Stutz: 6'8'' Power Forward, Castle H.S.

Eastern Kentucky University

He has a great motor and is a great rebounder. Overall, Stutz has a very solid game. He doesn't have any one skill which stands out, but is just a good player. Needs to improve his strength to be more of a contributor at EKU.

27. Spencer Turner: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Bloomington South H.S.

Belmont College

Turner is an elite shooter, in my opinion probably one of the best pure shooters in the state. He is not the quickest player which will be a drawback at the next level, however he is very smart and strong. His shooting ability will fit in very well at Belmont.

28. Jalen Packer: 6'2'' Point Guard, Princeton Community H.S.

Undeclared

Packer is a long, lefty, pass-first ball handler. He does everything you want your point guard to do. He finishes well around the basket, and penetrates a defense with ease. If he adds more of a outside game to go along with his excellent ball handling and passing he could be a D1 prospect.

29. Greg Dickey: 5'11'' Point Guard, Tipton H.S.

University of St. Francis

He is a true "floor general" point guard. Good ball handling skills. He is strong for his size, and can really shoot it from deep. Dickey has a great skill set, should be a good player for powerhouse St. Francis.

30. Matthew Schauss: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Centerville H.S.

Bethel College

For a guard, Schauss has good size which makes him a match up problem for many defenders. In high school he runs the point so he has good experience handling the ball which will help at the college level. He is great at getting to the rim and finishing, and also has a very good mid-range game. He needs to improve his outside shooting.

31. Jared Smoot: 6'9'' Center, Crown Point H.S.

Navy

Smoot is very long and strong. He is a very good rebounder, but needs to attack the boards with more aggression if he wants to keep getting those rebounds at the D1 level. Also needs to develop more of an offensive post game.

32. Chier Ajou: 7'1'' Center, Culver Military Academy H.S.

New Mexico

Ajou is certainly the most intriguing prospect in the state of Indiana. At 7'1'' he was sure to get his shot to play college basketball. Right now, he is very, very raw, but he can block shots and disrupt many others. He is a work in progress that could turn into a solid player.

33. Evan Maschmeyer: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Jeffersonville H.S.

Undeclared

Maschmeyer is a very good shooter from the outside. However, he can also take the ball to the basket and does a good job of finishing there as well. Could be a solid pick up for a Divison II team.

34. Chris Whitehead: 5'9'' Point Guard, New Albany H.S.

Undeclared

He is a very good ball handler and attacks the rim well for his size. Whitehead's main problem is that he is only 5'9''. Good pick up for a small college that likes to get up and down the court.

35. Alex Peterson: 6'11'' Center, Carmel H.S.

Huntington College

Anytime you have a 6'11'' frame you are going to be given plenty of opportunities as a basketball player. Peterson is a good shot blocker and rebounder, very disruptive on the defensive side of the floor. Right now he is very thin and needs to add lots of weight to become dominate down low. Would be worth a look for any small Division I program.

36. Spencer Comer: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Rushville H.S.

University of St. Francis

Comer is very athletic. He uses his strength and quickness very well on the defensive end. He is a very good outside shooter, but needs to improve his ball handling so he can attack the basket and create more shots for himself.

37. Silas Sims: 6'5" Point Guard, Hauser H.S.

Manchester College

The tall, long point guard lead Hauser to the Regional Championship game this season. Sims is a good scorer, and uses his size well to create mis-matches with smaller defenders. He should be a nice addition to Manchester's squad.

38. Connor Rich: 6'4'' Shooting Guard, Tipton H.S.

Depauw University

Rich is the one of the best pure shooters in the state. He works very hard off the ball, running off screens and changing directions. He isn't very athletic and doesn't create off the dribble very well, but his deep range and shooting ability make him a solid pick up for Depauw.

39. Jon Trawick: 6'3'' Small Forward, Richmond H.S.

Undeclared

Jon is one of the strongest players his size that I have seen. This makes him a big time match up problem for other guards. He needs to really work on his shooting, but it is improving. He is a beast down low, finishes very well. He is a "tweener", if his shot continues to improve he would take his game to the next level. Most likely will be heading to Prep School.

40. Ricky Carbajal: 6'6'' Power Forward, Munster H.S.

Quincy University

He does not have the best offensive skill set, but is still able to be a big force in games because of his work ethic and above average athletic ability. He scorers a lot of points off of offensive rebounds. To take his game to the next level he needs to become more of an offensive threat.

41. Brandon Clark: 6'0'' Point Guard, Merrillville H.S.

Santa Clara

Clark is an above-average shooter and is a good defender. Much like Robinson though, he tends to try to create when there is no play to be made. If he can harness his abilities and learn to play along with the flow of the game he will be a great pick up for Santa Clara.

42. Zach Miller: 6'2'' Shooting Guard, Connersville H.S.

Bethel College

Miller is a a great shooter and moves very well off the ball. I like the way he works to get open and uses screens to create spacing. He is a pretty good ball handler which makes him more versatile, but is most comfortable playing off the ball.

43. Nyree Robinson: 6'3'' Shooting Guard, Carmel H.S.

Undeclared

Robinson is a great athlete which allows him to get to the rim where he is a very good finisher. On the down side, he has a tendency to force the action. If he could accept a role, he could be a solid D2 or D3 players.

44. Brandon Grubl: 6'3" Point Guard, Morgan Township H.S.

Elmhurst College

The do-it-all guard averaged 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. Grubl is a true floor general and I expect him to have a very good career at Elmhurst.

45. Evan Blackmon: 5'11'' Point Guard, Bishop Luers H.S.

Danville Area Community College

Good athlete, very strong. Blackmon does a very good job of penetrating the defense and finding an open man on the perimeter, or finishing himself. He needs to work on his shooting ability to make his game more well-rounded.

46. Alex Hutson: 6'1'' Point Guard, Seeger H.S.

Undeclared

Hutson is a top level shooter with serious range. All-around he can really fill it up. Needs to improve ball-handling if he wants to play the point in college, he may be better off playing off the ball. Solid D3 prospect.

47. Chandler Thomas: 6'5'' Small Forward, Cathedral H.S.

Undeclared

He has been working hard to become a true small forward, but is really still more comfortable in the post. Thomas has become a decent shooter, but still needs work on his ball handling to become a better prospect. Probably a NAIA player at this time.

48. Brandon Smith: 5'11'' Point Guard, Cathedral H.S.

Lynn College

Smith is a scoring point guard. He is strong for his size which allows him to finish well inside despite being undersized.

49. Rontray Chavis: 6'5'' Small Forward, Princeton Community H.S.

Cincinnati State

His main problem is that he is a power forward stuck in a small forwards body. He has a better perimeter skill set than his brother, but is still a tweener. He is a good athlete and very strong, but needs to improve his ball handling and shooting ability to become a true small forward.

50. Jordan Hahn: 5'11'' Point Guard, New Castle H.S.

Huntington College

Hahn is a very good outside shooter. Great leader, a "floor general" point guard. He is not overly athletic which makes it tough for him to get around better defenders, but he is very smart and crafty.

Indiana Recruiting Guide 1A/2A All-State Team

It is amazing how many great players there are in these smaller schools. You have an Indiana All-Star, multiple Division I prospects, 20-point per game scorers, and the states leading scorer is on the Honorable Mention list. Lots of talent this year, so it took awhile to decide who was deserving of All-State versus Honorable Mention honors. Here is this years Class 1A/2A All-State team!

Yogi Ferrell (Park Tudor)

Indiana University

Yogi led Park Tudor to Conseco for the second straight season, but this year he and the Panthers came away with the State Title. The star junior averaged 18.7 points and 6.6 assists per game.

Griffyn Carpenter (Triton)

Undeclared

Led his team to the State Finals on the back of his 19.1 points per game. Very solid all-around player.

Adonis Filer (Bishop Noll)

Brewster Academy

The only Indiana All-Star from either Class A or Class 2A, the State Finalist averaged 15.9 points per game. Has reclassified as 2012 and is heading to Prep School next season.

DeJaun Marrero (Bowman Academy)

Undeclared

The Division I prospect averaged 22.1 points and 15.3 rebounds this season on his way to being named to the "Core" group of Jr. All-Stars.

Dylan Langkabel (Morristown)

Undeclared

In his first season back in Indiana after playing for St. Benedict's Prep School, the junior averaged 27.4 points per game for Morristown.

Brandon Grubl (Morgan Township)

Undeclared

The do-it-all guard led Morgan to the Regional Championship game while averaging 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.

Logan Thomas (Monroe Central)

Ball State (Student)

Logan put together one of the best statistical season's of anybody in recent memory. He averaged 25.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game.

Greg Dickey (Tipton)

University of St. Francis

The hard-nosed floor general will be joining NAIA DII powerhouse St. Francis next season. Dickey averaged 14.3 points and 4.5 assists per game, and is one of the best on the ball defenders I saw this season.

Matthew Schauss (Centerville)

Bethel College

Schauss led the Bulldogs to their 3rd consecutive Sectional Championship. The combo-guard averaged 22 points and 6 rebounds a game.

Dustin Smith (Eastern Hancock)

Undeclared

One of the best shooters in the state, Smith averaged 22.5 points and 5 rebounds a game in his senior campaign. Even with his long range 3-pointers, he shot 43% from beyond the arc.

Honorable Mention

James Blackmon Jr. (Fort Wayne Luers) Indiana University

Clay Yeo (Tipton)

Raymond Green (Indianapolis Metro)

Grant Evans (Wapahani)

Zach Richie (Oregon-Davis)

Mike Crawford (Tipton)

Silas Sims (Hauser)

J.T. Yoho (Eastern Greene)

Garrett Bateman (Shoals)

Kendall Vieke (Vincennes Rivet)

Indiana Recruiting Guide 3A/4A All-State Team

This is the first year that the Indiana Recruiting Guide will be announcing an All-State team. In order to give players from all levels the exposure and accolades that they deserve, we will be naming two teams, a 3A/4A team as well as 1A/2A squad. There will be 10 All-State selections, as well as 10 Honorable Mention picks. Congratulations to all of these great players!

2010-2011 Indiana Recruiting Guide Player of the Year: Cody Zeller (Washington)

Indiana University

The McDonald's All-American and Indiana Mr. Basketball award-winner averaged 24.1 points and 13.3 rebounds a game on his way to another State Championship.

Marquis Teague (Pike)

University of Kentucky

Marquis, another of Indiana's McDonald's All-American game participants, lead Pike to a 20-5 record this season. He averaged 22.1 points and 6 assists per contest. He looks to the next in a long line of great point guards to play for Coach Cal at UK. Finished 3rd in the Indiana Mr. Basketball voting.

Dee Davis (Bloomington South)

Xavier University

Lead Bloomington South the Class 4A State Championship. Davis averaged 21.9 points and 5.6 assists. He finished 4th in the Indiana Mr. Basketball voting.

Nic Moore (Warsaw)

Illinois State University

After a fantastic senior campaign, Moore struggled with an injury down the stretch which derailed his hopes of leading Warsaw back to the State Finals. He finished 2nd in the Mr. Basketball voting while averaging 27.7 points per game.

Braden Dawson (Lew Wallace)

Michigan State University

A McDonald's All-American, Dawson is one of the most highly touted seniors in the country. His team had a rough season, but I expect him to fit right into his role at the next level.

D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (North Central)

Undeclared

The Junior averaged 25.2 points while leading the Panthers to a Regional Championship. Rivera has really improved his outside shooting, knocking down over 50 3's this season.

Kellen Dunham (Pendleton Heights)

Butler University

Averaged 23.6 points and made 77 3-pointers (43% shooting). The junior is without a doubt one of the best pure shooters in the state.

Andy Smeathers (Center Grove)

Butler University

His stats may not wow you, but Smeathers is one of the most complete players in Indiana. At 6'8'', he can shoot the ball from the outside, and is also a good slasher and can finish around the rim. Averaged 14.6 points and 5 rebounds. I see him turning into a Gordon Hayward type of player in a couple years at Butler.

Gary Harris (Hamilton Southeastern)

Undeclared

Possibly the most sought after commodity in the Class of 2012 in Indiana, Harris enjoyed a great Junior season, averaging 18.6 points and 5 rebounds.

Glenn Robinson (Lake Central)

University of Michigan

Son of former Purdue great Glenn Robinson, the Junior averaged 22.1 points and 5.2 rebounds. He was also named to the "Core" group of Junior All-Stars.
