Ethan Williams, Matt Brown, and Ethan Jones will provide some good interior presence.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Will want to see how this team does from a shooting standpoint. The construction of the roster seems like that will be more of a focal point.</p> <p><strong>One To Watch:<br /> </strong>Looking over the roster, there are a few interesting names to look at here for Force. Styles McCorkle is a name that will gain more traction over the summer. Tall forward with some range and a great frame.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s got the ability to be a big time scoring threat and has the most diverse offensive game of this group so one would think he’ll be highly used.</p> <table class="tablepress" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p><strong>DATE</strong></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><strong>EVENT</strong></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p><strong>LOCATION</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>April 6-7</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Tip-Off Classic</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>April 13-14</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indy Ball Shootout</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>April 19-20</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Bunny Ball</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>April 26-28</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Adidas Spring Classic</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>May 3-5</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Bill Hensley Run-N-Slam</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Fort Wayne, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>May 10-12</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Adidas May Classic</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>May 18-19</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Franciscan Health Crossroads Challenge</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>July 11-14</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Adidas Invitational</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>July 19-21</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>All-In Hoopfest</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Louisville, KY</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p>July 26-28</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Adidas Hoosier Shootout</p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p>Indianapolis, IN</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><strong>Schedule Breakdown:<br /> </strong>For IE Force, they will stay very local this year. Great front he standpoint of being in the 2021 class.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Events like the Bill Hensley Run-N-Slam and Adidas Invitational will be some of the more marquee events but All-In Hoopfest has proven to be a solid Regional stop for some Indiana teams over the last few years.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>10 stops this year makes a lot of sense with the way the schedule breaks down. Not likely going to see more than 11 weekends for most teams.</p>
