We currently have 17 players from The Region in the Class of 2025 database with 9 in our top 100 and 5 in the top 50. All of the other players on our watch list are listed in alphabetical order with no ranking order whatsoever. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297020' first='Dominique' last='Murphy Jr'].</strong>, a small forward from East Chicago Central, took over the top spot in The Region for the 2025 class. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297042' first='Jack' last='Smiley']</strong> (Valparaiso), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297027' first='Garrett' last='Clark']</strong> (Portage), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578442' first='Michael' last='Wellman']</strong> (Portage), and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1748970' first='Robert' last='Kennedy']</strong> (Merrillville) all join Murphy Jr. in the top 50 in the state for the 2025 class.
