Indiana Stock Risers: 2016 Prospects

<p>There were some new names added to the list of updated 2016 rankings but also quite a few names that moved up the ranks as well.  We spotlight some of the top guys in this edition of Stock Risers.</p> <p><strong>Jordan</strong> <strong>Walker</strong> (Cathedral): Moved from #33 to #22</p> <p>The biggest holdup from my perspective on Jordan Walker was how he would fit into the national landscape of players as a guy that is considered more of a combo guard.  Could he play against high level competition and make an impact? I think playing for EG10 on the Adidas Gauntlet proved to some extant that he can.  His speed, pace, and athleticism played up well.  He&#39;s still going to have to define his scoring game a bit more but overall he deserves the bump up.</p> <p><strong>Dru</strong><span style="font-size:13px"> </span><strong>Smith</strong><span style="font-size:13px"> (Evansville Reitz): Moved from #27 to #13</span></p> <p>People are really starting to jump on the Dru Smith bandwagon and I&#39;ve been one for a while but very similar to Walker, I wanted to see how he would do against national level competition.  Reitz wasn&#39;t even really challenged until the very end of the year so it was hard to tell.  I think physically and IQ wise he can play up but I&#39;m still not sold on his offensive ability, yet.</p> <p><strong>Peyton</strong> <strong>Staples</strong> (Mishawaka): Moved from #56 to #24</p> <p>Staples was a little hidden to this point of his career but this has been a big summer for him.  His ceiling isn&#39;t really high because he&#39;s a little undersized for the style of game that he plays but coming in at #24 is about his ceiling and that is a good thing.  He&#39;s showcasing his entire game right now and colleges are picking up on that.  Expect a lot of calls at the end of next week.</p> <p><strong>Mark</strong> <strong>Madden</strong> (South Bend St. Joseph): Moved from #52 to #44</p> <p>Madden has been a quite player in the state of Indiana but one that can really play.  He&#39;s got a little more size now (6&#39;3) and he&#39;s bulked up a bit and it has made him a better offensive player.  I&#39;ve watched him enough to know how good he is and I think in his final season at SBSJ, people will pick that up as well.</p> <p><strong>Antoyne</strong> <strong>Jackson</strong> (Franklin Central): #112 to #88</p> <p>Jackson was a guy that popped onto the scene very early on in his high school career but never really got any bigger and his growth as a player stalled a bit.  Now, he&#39;s still only about 6&#39;5 but he&#39;s bulked up and changed his game and that has really taken shape during the spring.  He&#39;s driving more and a lot more active of a player.  Finding his game has been a pleasant surprise.</p> <h3>Names that also made significant jumps:</h3> <p><strong>Kyle</strong> <strong>Guy</strong> (Lawrence Central): Moved from #4 to #3</p> <p><strong>Damien</strong> <strong>Jefferson</strong> (East Chicago Central): Moved from #9 to #7</p> <p><strong>Anthony</strong> <strong>Murphy</strong> (Griffith): Moved from #11 to #8</p> <p><strong>Tremell</strong> <strong>Murphy</strong> (Griffith): Moved from #21 to #17</p> <p><strong>Desmond</strong> <strong>Bane</strong> (Seton Catholic): Moved from #39 to #33</p> <p><strong>Bishop</strong> <strong>Smith</strong> (Warren Central): Moved from #54 to #47</p> <p><strong>Marcus</strong> <strong>Burk</strong> (Franklin Central): Moved from #101 to #55</p> <p><strong>K.C. Earls</strong> (Mooresville): Moved from #61 to #53</p> <p><strong>Alex</strong> <strong>Yurack</strong> (Rushville): Moved from #68 to #54</p> <p><strong>Jaret</strong> <strong>Sons</strong> (Rushville): Moved from #75 to #56</p> <p><strong>Grant</strong> <strong>Gelon</strong> (Crown Point): Moved from #72 to #57</p> <p><strong>Dylan</strong> <strong>Barrow</strong> (Leo): Moved from #81 to #65</p> <p><strong>J.D. Bembry </strong>(Hamilton Southeastern): #100 to #83</p>
