Continue ReadingWith 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 Northern half of the state and work our way down to the Southern half where we finish off with Evansville, and we continue on with South Bend today.
We currently have 28 players from South Bend in the Class of 2023 database with 17 in our top 200 and 7 in the top 100. All of the other players on our watch list are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. Taking over the top spot in the 2023 rankings for South Bend is the Notre Dame commit, Markus Burton Markus Burton 5'11" | PG Penn | 2023 State #190 Nation IN . Burton is a point guard for Penn who has been amazing over the last year and has risen his stock in a major way. He averaged 27 points last year, and I would expect a similar year for the guy who can score in so many different ways.
Cade Brenner Cade Brenner 6'3" | SG NorthWood | 2023 State IN , a shooting guard for NorthWood ranked #29, is the only other South Bend player in the top 60. After an outstanding junior season, Brenner picked up NAIA offers from Huntington and Indiana Wesleyan. He was the leader of the 25-3 team that lost in the Regional finals, and he really uses his strength to force his way inside and finish through the smaller defenders. Deaglan Sullivan Deaglan Sullivan 6'2" | PG Mishawaka Marian | 2023 State IN , a point guard for Mishawaka Marian, is an outstanding scorer who loves to get downhill and attack. He averaged 17 per game last year, and I would expect an even bigger senior season. Ian Raasch Ian Raasch 6'6" | PF NorthWood | 2023 State IN , with Brenner, was the second part of the NorthWood duo. Raasch uses his physicality inside to both rebound it and finish strong inside. The point guard pair of Marcus Northern Marcus Northern 6'2" | PG South Bend Washington | 2023 State IN (South Bend Washington) and Joe Smith Joe Smith 5'10" | PG Penn | 2023 State IN (Penn) is next up in the South Bend rankings. Northern is an athletic guard who can really do it all on the court. Smith is a tough defender and an outstanding shooter. Both of these guys should no doubt be playing college basketball next year.
Now, let’s take a look at the full list of 2023 rankings for South Bend.
