Top 2023 Players in Lafayette

<p>With the updated release of the top 200 rankings and an expanded watch list for the class of 2023 on Monday, it is time to take a look at some of the top players in the biggest areas of Indiana. We will start in the state's Northern half and work our way down to the Southern half where we finish off with Evansville. Today, we continue on with Lafayette.</p> <p>We currently have 13 players from the Lafayette area in the Class of 2023 database with 7 in our top 200. All other players on our watch list are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. [player_tooltip player_id='1049173' first='Ben' last='Henderson'], a shooting guard from Harrison (WL), takes the top spot in the 2023 rankings for the Lafayette area. Henderson is a really good scoring guard who can score at all three levels, and the Marian commit should have an even better senior season than his junior campaign where he averaged over 16 points per game.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1556365' first='Divine' last='Adeyanju'] comes in next in the Lafayette rankings as the only other player ranked in the top 100. The West Lafayette center has soared up the rankings after an impressive season with INB Elite, and he should have a breakout senior season for West Lafayette this winter. The Carroll (Flora) duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1391325' first='Owen' last='Duff'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1391465' first='Jake' last='Skinner'] combined for more the 30 points per game last season and led the Cougars to a 24-2 record and a Semi-State appearance. This is going to be a duo for D3 coaches across the state to watch this season. [player_tooltip player_id='1049196' first='Chris' last='Lucas'], a point guard from Harrison (WL), will be teaming up with Henderson this year, and he will have a major chance for a big breakout season. [player_tooltip player_id='1049191' first='Dayton' last='Hoover'], a small forward for Frontier, and [player_tooltip player_id='1049183' first='Mason' last='Larkin'], a point guard from Fountain Central, round out the list of top 200 players in the Lafayette area. Hoover is a strong scorer and rebounder inside, and he outworks nearly every player on the court. Larkin is a true post presence, and he excels on the defensive end of the floor.</p> <p>Now, let's take a look at the full list of 2023 rankings for Lafayette.</p> <p> </p> <!-- wp:table --> <figure
