We took a little break from this series do to other events and coverage, but we are back and over the next week or so we are going take a closer look at prospects in the Class of 2022 with our Senior Spotlight series.
Samuel Ridgeway Samuel Ridgeway 6'8" | PF Tipton | 2022 State IN (Tipton 2022)
Ridgeway is a 6’7 true post that has natural strength and athleticism. He is a legit post defender that rebounds just about as good anyone in our system. Had schools such as Edgewood college and Concordia University of Chicago involved in his recruitment and think there will be more to follow very soon. For Tipton, he is going to bring that powerhouse play to a squad that will probably put up a ton of points this year. Watch for Ridgeway to have a huge senior season.
Jonah Lucas Jonah Lucas 6'0" | PG Lafayette Harrison | 2022 State IN (Lafayette Harrison 2022)
Lucas is a 6’0 lead guard that is super athletic and is a straight up bucket getter. Had a monster grassroots season where he was being aggressive with his scoring and defensive play. Displays excellent court vison and gets to any spot he wants off the dribble using his speed and athleticism. Multiple schools such as Wabash College, Lincoln Memorial University, and others have been involved with him as of late but no matter what school tends up being his final choice, he can come in and make an immediate impact. Jonah Lucas Jonah Lucas 6'0" | PG Lafayette Harrison | 2022 State IN could be a guy you here a ton of this season as he is on the verge of having his best season yet.
Omari Ferguson Omari Ferguson 6'3" | SG Indianapolis Metropolitan | 2023 IN (Indianapolis Metropolitan 2022)
Ferguson is a 6’3 shooting guard that is a vertically explosive player that knows how to use his athletic ability to his advantage. Recently joined our rankings at #82 and with the summer he just had, it was more than deserving. The big news for Ferguson is that he recently just transferred to Indianapolis Metropolitan from Pike and this move could actually benefit him more because he won’t be in such a crowded lineup where everybody will be battling for touches. Not much as far as recruiting goes as of right now but there is no question that this player can play at that D3 level. Expect big things for this skilled guard this season.
