Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College coaches from all across the Midwest will descend on the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana for the premier independent grassroots tournament in the country. Let’s take a look some potentially under-the-radar prospects from the Hoosier state that should capture the attention of college programs this weekend.
Klancy has good size at 6’3″ as a point guard that can create his own scoring opportunities and has showcased playmaking abilities for others as well. Coming off a junior season that saw Scottsburg advance to Semi-State with him averaging 16.8 points and 4.3 assists per game on impressive 52.7%/40.6%/79.1% shooting splits. Small college programs should watch him, as well as the many other talented prospects, on this Grand Park Premier Black 2024 squad.
Highlights
After two weekends with Indiana Game 2024 on the UA Rise Circuit, Cundiff and his teammates will bring their talents to Fort Wayne for the Run ‘N Slam. He is an excellent scorer in the backcourt as a guard capable of creating his own three-point looks off of the bounce. Cundiff is also good at using his body while maintaining his handle on the way to the basket to finish. Definitely one that small college coaches will want to watch closely this weekend.
Daughtry is a smaller point guard that does not let his size get in the way of being an excellent playmaker and scorer in the backcourt. He is a good shooter from beyond the arc knocking in 48 three-pointers during the high school season while averaging 14.8 points and 4.4 assists per game. The 5’9″ point guard plays with the necessary toughness of a smaller guard and will be pesky as an on-ball defender as well. Look for him this weekend playing with Summit City Elite Black 2024.
Keenan Garner
Keenan Garner
After two strong live period weekends with Indiana Elite Team Indiana 2024 on the 3SGB Circuit, Garner will play with Indiana Elite 3SSB 2024 this weekend at the Run ‘N Slam. He is a physical 6’6″ forward with excellent versatility on both ends of the floor. Offensively he handles the ball well, can play with his back to the basket, and finishes through contact at a high level. On the defensive end, he moves his feet well enough to switch on the perimeter and has the size to guard in the post. Will be good for college programs to see him this weekend some excellent competition.
Hogg is a talented playmaker out of Seton Catholic High School that will be in Fort Wayne this weekend with Gym Rats Black 2024. The 6’1″ guard possesses good athleticism, a quick first step, and is hard to keep out of the paint when he has the ball in his hands. Look for him to turn some heads and start to garner some attention at the Run ‘N Slam.
Highlights
His size obviously turns some heads right away, but his ability to finish around the basket and rebound his area keeps their attention. Lehrman has a soft touch on the block, moves well for his size, and takes up space on the defensive end in the paint. Check him out playing with Total Package Elite 2024.
Ayden Kent

Kent is a strong, powerful wing that has put up some good scoring numbers while playing with 5 Star 2024 on the Adidas Gold circuit. The 6’4″ guard attacks to his right hand aggressively off of the dribble and showcases a smooth pull-up game from the mid-range. He rebounds his position from the perimeter very well too.
Drew Kegerreis
Drew Kegerreis
This 6’3″ prospect is an excellent three-point shooter that can serve as a secondary playmaker as well. Kegerreis handles the ball well and is good passer when his shot gets taken away from the perimeter. He will be a highly sought small college recruit playing with Kyle Guy Elite 2024 this weekend at the Run ‘N Slam.
Lovan is a high IQ, playmaking point guard that is excellent off of the dribble both getting to the basket to finish and finding open teammates. His size allows him to score around the basket at a high percentage and even has a little post up game against smaller defenders. Definitely one that coaches should follow closely this weekend for Indiana Elite Team Indiana 2024.
Highlights
This strong, physical forward is a bruiser around the basket for Anchor Basketball 2024. Moore is 6’5″ with good footwork, soft hands, and the ability to score around in the paint through contact and against taller defenders. He was a key contributor to Hammond Central’s run to the Class 4A Semi-State this winter. Intriguing big man to take a look at this weekend.
Small college programs are always looking for size later in the process. Here is one that those schools should go ahead and start to get involved with now. Schultz is a 6’7″ big man with a strong frame and good finishing ability around the basket. He also possesses enough skill to face-up out to the perimeter and score it at times. Rebounds his area well. Check him out this weekend with Focus Premier 2024.
Highlights
An excellent athlete that is coming off of a 33-0 state championship with Ben Davis, this 6’3″ wing has played well on 3SGB circuit for Indiana Ice 3SGB 2024. White is really tough to stop in transition, attacks off of the dribble from the wings, and can make an impact on the defensive end of the floor as well. He should attract some eyes of college coaches this weekend in Fort Wayne.
