2025 Regional Rankings: The Region
Landon Bundy
In this article:
<p>With the release of the top 50 rankings and an expanded watch list for the class of 2025, it is time to take a look at some of the top players in the biggest areas of Indiana. We will start in the Northern half of the state and work our way down to Evansville, so we will start with The Region. We currently have 10 players from The Region in the Class of 2025 database with 4 from our top 50. All of the other players are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. The Valparaiso shooting guard, [player_tooltip player_id="1297042" first="Jack" last="Smiley"], holds the top spot in the region with [player_tooltip player_id="1297094" first="Michael" last="Wellman"], [player_tooltip player_id="1297020" first="Dominique " last="Murphy Jr."], and [player_tooltip player_id="1296975" first="Anthony" last="Holmes"].</p>
