Christian Perkins – 6’3 SF/PF Purdue Poly North – DRIP Elite 2023: Perkins is a big bodied forward that some mass to him. Overall a pretty smooth player with a capable jumper for his size. Has a real solid 15ft jumper. Wanted to see him more in the post, however. Just needs to continue to work on overall improvements.
Aidan Uebelhor – 6’5 PF Jasper – GPP 2023 White: Uebelhor is an undersized power forward that plays very hard. Real aggressive rebounder that is also so physical with his style of play. Can provide a team some aggressive second chance points.
Jaren Bowling – 6’4 C Brebeuf Jesuit – GPP 2023 White: Bowling is an undersized center with a big frame. Although his offense is solid I think he plays defense even better. Had a block and steal on that end from what I saw on Sunday’s game. Stayed his ground in the post and did not let anybody back him down. Bowling is a force on the defensive end.
Patrick Schott Patrick Schott 6'5" | PF Perry Meridian | 2023 State IN – 6’5 PF Perry Meridian – Indiana Elite Swish 2023: Schott is simply built like a solid wall. He is a double-double machine of a post and does everything with such force in the paint. Plays bully ball but has a soft touch around the basket at the same time. Back to the basket is solid but would love to see him do some more face-up work. He is a small college post to watch this summer.
Dominic Cooper – 6’6 PF/C Whiteland – Indiana Red Storm 2023: Cooper is a long and lanky forward/center. Has some raw athletic ability and uses it quiet well around the basket. Aggressive rebounder on both ends as well. DIII level player.
Brandon Trilli Brandon Trilli 6'5" | SF Munster | 2023 State IN – 6’5 SF/PF Munster – Team GRIII 2023 Elite: Trilli is one of the more intriguing forwards to watch this entire summer. Kind of stuck in that middle gap between a SF and PF. Was able to watch him on Friday night and thought he played very well in transition. Did make a jumper when I watched which was nice to see but needs to continue to add consistency in his skillset. Pretty crafty around the basket and just knows how to score. Low-majors should really do their research on him.
Cooper Farrall Cooper Farrall 6'5" | SF Culver Academy | 2023 State IN – 6’6 SF Culver Academy – Team GRIII 2023 Elite: Farrall is a wing that checks a lot of boxes. Can shoot, plays physical, bigger in size, and has a high IQ. Was only really able to watch him on Friday night and even though he was not shooting as well as he normally does, he was smart about switching it and taking it inside where he found success. From what I heard he did end up having a great weekend after Friday. Great way to start the live recruiting period for Farrall. He is a perfect fit for mid-low majors out there.
