However, that doesn’t mean that coverage stops here at Prep Hoops Indiana. Over the next couple of weeks we will take a closer look at prospects in the Class of 2022 with our Senior Spotlight series.
Kaden Manna Kaden Manna 6'6" | PF Marquette Catholic | 2022 State IN (Marquette Catholic H.S. 2022)
This 6’6″ forward is one of the best kept secrets of Indiana’s Class of 2022. He is incredibly versatile and a very high-level rebounder. Manna is truly a beast on the boards with his impressive mixture of athleticism and physicality. The lefty is a consistent finisher inside with a plethora of creative moves from the high post and short corners. Very good driver going either way. Averaged 14.2 points and 9.8 rebounds as a junior. Currently holds NAIA offers from Fisher College and Trinity Lutheran. Would be an excellent NAIA 4-man for any program.
Billy Smith Billy Smith 6'7" | SF Brebeuf Jesuit | 2022 State IN (Brebeuf Jesuit H.S. 2022)
Smith just added a scholarship offer from Lipscomb on Monday evening to add to a growing list of suitors. Army, Fordham, IUPUI, Miami (OH), Bellarmine, and Eastern Illinois are also on the Division I offer list. The 6’7″ sharpshooter is one of the highest percentage makers in the state of Indiana. He performed at high level on the 3SSB Circuit with Indiana Elite proving he can score it against the very best in country. Just an overall skilled player with a high basketball IQ. Excellent addition at the low to mid-major level.
Cayden Vasko Cayden Vasko 6'5" | PG Bosco Institute | 2022 State IN (Bosco Institute 2022)
A 6’5″ wing with good size, Vasko is an intriguing prospect for college coaches at all levels. He recently received an offer from DII Rollins College. Vasko is a very three-point shooter that has proven to be effective on the catch-and-shoot as well as off the dribble. Solid athlete that can finish above the rim when attacking closeouts from the perimeter. The offensive versatility is there for him to be an excellent pick up at the next level.
