Breakdown: The Small Forward group in 2021 isn’t the best position but has enough talent at the top that you could see some high-end producers later on in college. Luke Goode Luke Goode 6'6" | SF Homestead | 2021 State #107 Nation IN , JR Konieczny, and Brooks Barnhizer Brooks Barnhizer 6'5" | SF Lafayette Jeff | 2021 State #203 Nation IN are the clear cut trio up top and all could be impact players in college for high-major programs. The depth at DI is there a bit with Jayden Brewer Jayden Brewer 6'5" | SF Ben Davis | 2021 State IN , Chris Mantis Chris Mantis 6'6" | SF Lowell | 2021 State IN , and Chrishawn Christmas Chrishawn Christmas 6'4" | SF Gary West | 2021 State IN locked into DI offers. Owen Dease Owen Dease 6'7" | SF Evansville Reitz | 2021 State IN and Harold Woods Harold Woods 6'3" | SF Hammond | 2021 State IN have had quite a bit of DI interest to this stage. There are not a ton of DII level options but NAIA’s should have no problem finding talent. Only four players have come off the board at this stage so a ton of options still available.
