Prep Hoops The Stage – 8 Emerging Indiana Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another excellent Prep Hoops Circuit event is officially in the books as The Stage wrapped up on Sunday afternoon between two beautiful venues (Pacers Athletic Center and Farmers Bank Fieldhouse). As always, we had boots on the ground coverage from the opening tip until the final buzzer all weekend long. We will have more content in the coming days including more All-Tournament teams, stock-risers, new names, and more. Now, let's take a look at eight "emerging" Indiana prospects who really jumped out over the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2135089"],"_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":"A talented 6'0u0022 guard from Kokomo High School, Burks was a big part of leading [program_tooltip program_id='2408899' first='Team' last='First City'] 2027 to a 3-1 weekend at The Stage. He is a dynamic playmaker off of the bounce showcasing the ability to slice through the defense consistently, score in a variety of ways in the intermediate range, and make plays for his teammates as well.

The 6'6u0022-6'7u0022 forward is incredibly active and bouncy around the basket showcasing the ability to rebound everything in his area, finish consistently at the rim, and be disruptive defensively inside. His motor and interior presence is really impressive.

This 6'1u0022 left-handed guard has a smooth shooting stroke from the perimeter, can create his own shot in the mid-range, and flashes some explosiveness when getting to the rim. High upside offensive talent coming out of Taylor High School.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1529293"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat']-Competitive Greatness went 3-1 on the weekend with a couple of big offensive performances from McIntire.
