Midwest Jam Fest – Eight Indiana Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After spending Friday night and Saturday morning at the Grassroots Showcase in Louisville, I made the move back north to finish off the weekend at the Midwest Jam Fest. Once again, there was a ton of talent in the gym at the Pacers Athletic Center with a bunch of college coaches from all levels in attendance. Here are eight prospects from the state of Indiana that stood out at the live period event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297102"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Comer has excellent tools as an athletic, strong wing.

The 6'4u0022 wing had games of 16 and 19 points while helping lead Indy Heat Red 2025 to a perfect 4-0 weekend.

At 6'4u0022, he has great size on the wing and can absolute stroke it from three-point range with a quick release. He also handles the ball well enough to act as a secondary playmaker or create his own shot off of the bounce. Had a good weekend scoring it for Indy Heat Red 2024.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1384393"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"King is and under-the-radar prospect from Hammond Central High School playing with Anchor Basketball Academy 2024 that put up some big numbers over the weekend at the Midwest Jam Fest.

Tornatta is a skilled forward that can face-up out to the 15-18 foot range and has excellent footwork as a back to the basket scorer. He is one of the better rebounders in Indiana's Class of 2024 as well.
