<p>It has only been a few days since our last recruiting update, but a lot has happened in just the last 48-72 hours. Indiana’s Class of 2023 saw a bunch of scholarship offers come their, one of the state’s top uncommitted players made his college decision, and a Snider guard chose a local Division III program. Let’s dive right in.</p> <h2>Leo High School Star Makes His Decision</h2> <p>After recently getting a run of offers from St. Francis, Findlay, and Indiana Wesleyan, [player_tooltip player_id="870232" first="Caedmon" last="Bontrager"] was ready to pull the trigger Thursday afternoon. The 6’8" forward at Leo High School committed to three-time NAIA National Champion Indiana Wesleyan. Excellent recruiting win for the Wildcats.</p> <h2>Marian Offers 4 Class of 2023 Prospects</h2> <p>Head Coach Scott Heady and Assistant Jesse McClung had a busy week out on the recruiting trail. Marian University, an Indianapolis area NAIA powerhouse, extended scholarship offers to three Carmel High School players before heading east on I-70 to Greenfield-Central to hand out another one. For the Greyhounds, 6’5" forward [player_tooltip player_id="935725" first="Jared" last="Bonds"], 6’5" wing Garwey Dual, and 6’4" wing [player_tooltip player_id="868225" first="Spencer" last="White"] all were offered by Marian on Wednesday. High-scoring Greenfield-Central 6’3" guard [player_tooltip player_id="1049171" first="Dylan" last="Moles"] also got an offer from the Knights on Wednesday.</p> <h2>Recruiting Roundup</h2> <p>In other news...</p> <ul> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="1267663" first="Elijah" last="Davis"] (Fort Wayne Snider H.S. 2022) committed to Manchester on Friday morning. Fellow backcourt mates [player_tooltip player_id="870249" first="Karson" last="Jenkins"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1168150" first="Aidan" last="Lambert"] get a lot of the statewide publicity, but Davis is the glue that holds it all together for the 8-3 Panthers. Will be a solid two-way guard in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="1168145" first="A.J." last="Dixon"] (Merrillville H.S. 2022) added a scholarship offer from Howard College, a junior college in Big Spring, Texas. The 6’5" forward is a very versatile player with a high upside.</li> <li>[player_tooltip player_id="1042496" first="Gage" last="Sefton"] (Blackhawk Christian 2023) earned an offer from nearby Indiana Tech. Sefton is the leading scorer for the 12-1 Braves. He also has an offer from Grace.</li> </ul>
