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.
Comer has excellent tools as an athletic, strong wing. He attacks closeouts well off of the dribble, is dangerous in transition, and rebounds the ball well on both ends of the floor. The 6’4″ wing had games of 16 and 19 points while helping lead Indy Heat Red 2025 to a perfect 4-0 weekend. An up-and-coming prospect come out of Fort Wayne Wayne High School.
It was yet another excellent weekend for Eli Ellis Eli Ellis 5’11” | SG Plainfield | 2024 State IN and his Kyle Guy Elite Black 2024 squad. They went 3-2 at the Midwest Jam Fest with the sharp shooter putting up performances of 16 points, 19 points, and 17 points including several high assists numbers as well along the way. He is a truly elite three-point shooter that is turning heads of small college coaches in and around Indiana.
Highlights
One of the most impressive Class of 2026 prospects from the Midwest Jam Fest, Elmore helped lead Grand Park Premier UAA Red 2026 to a perfect 4-0 record. The versatile 6’4″ forward put up a 20-point, 12-rebound performance on Saturday that turned heads of those in attendance. Long, mobile, and skilled.
College coaches are always looking for shooting and Houser is as good as they come from beyond the arc. At 6’4″, 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.
Highlights
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. The athletic 6’3″ guard had a stat-stuffing game of 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists followed by a 29-point outburst. Definitely one for small college programs to continue watching heading into the month of May.
Rivera is an excellent scoring guard that had games of 18, 17, and 11 points while playing against some very high level competition at the Midwest Jam Fest. The dynamic playmaker is very good at creating for himself off of the dribble and shoots it at a high percentage from beyond the arc. He continues to have a very strong spring for Kyle Guy Elite 2025.
Grand Park Premier 2024 went just 1-3 on the weekend, but Swan stood out with his impressive offensive skill set. Already known as an elite three-point shooter, the 6’0″ guard showcased his playmaking ability against some very good competition. He finishes well at the end of his drives and is a very good, and willing, passer. Swan should be a highly sought after small college prospect going into the month of May.
This 6’7″ forward played some of his best basketball this 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. Playing with Kyle Guy Elite 2024, Tornatta had multiple double-doubles of 17 points and 11 rebounds, 17 points and 13 rebounds, and another game with 14 rebounds.
