This event is always one of the best independent tournaments of the spring and summer bringing out a huge number of Division II, Division III, and NAIA coaches. As we continue our coverage coming out of the weekend, here are seven names of stock-risers that really started to emerge and make themselves known at the Run N Slam.
We’ve certainly been aware of Bock’s ability, but he really stood out as a potential stock-riser heading into the rest of the spring and summer this past weekend for the Indiana Jammers 2026. The 6’6″ forward from Sullivan High School has an effortless athleticism that is really impressive. He runs the floor with great fluidity, is super bouncy around the basket, and can operate smoothly on the perimeter. Bock plays well above the rim on both ends and flashes some emerging skill level away from the basket as well. High-upside prospect that keeps getting better and better.

Fort Wayne has a plethora of really good homeschool prospects and this 6’5″ forward for OPS – Kindschy 2026 was one that really stood out over the weekend. In the packet he was listed as a 2026 prospect and he obviously played with a 2026 team, but everything online indicates he is a 2027. Either way, he is really intriguing, but he could be a REALLY good 2027 prospect. King is super bouncy around the basket, played above the rim as a finisher, and rebounded his area well. Really like his upside and will definitely be learning more about him.
The term “sneaky-athletic” gets overused in evaluating prospects, but it is a fair descriptor of this guard from Adams Central High School. Maller can act you downhill in a hurry off of the dribble with a quick first step and has some legitimate explosiveness at the end of his drives when elevating to finish around the rim. He also shot the ball well over the course of the weekend for Focus Premier 2025 proving himself as an intriguing backcourt piece for small college coaches to continue to follow throughout the spring and summer.

Richie burst onto the scene this weekend with Hoosier State Prospects 2026 with a 24-point, 7-rebound performance in one game where he showed off his ability to stretch the floor out beyond the three-point line while still possessing the size to score inside against smaller defenders and defensive rebound. Intriguing prospect that we simply hadn’t been able to see before this weekend. Austin High School product that is flying under-the-radar. Like his all-around game offensively.
You simply cannot teach the level of vision and feel that this 6’4″ forward from New Palestine High School possesses. Slagley is arguably the best passing forward in Indiana’s Class of 2025 and really plays more like a point-forward than a true front court guy. He is strong enough to score inside with his excellent footwork, but really is most effective out on the perimeter where his ball-handling and passing ability are guard-like. Playing with Indiana Ice – Gizzi, Slagley does a great job of starting the fast break any time he gets a rebound. High-level passing ability.
One of the most physically gifted, athletic prospects in Indiana’s Class of 2026, Thomas is an under-the-radar name to follow from Lawrence North High School for Indy Heat EYBL 2026. With Session III coming up in just over a week here in Indiana he will be one that more and more can, and should, get eyes on. The 6’5″ athletic wing played above the rim throughout the weekend and is consistently guarding the other teams best player as well. Really like his upside and could be poised for a breakout this summer.

Williams-Thomas suited up for Summit City Elite – White 2025 this past weekend at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam and immediately stepped into a primary scoring role. The dynamic playmaking guard from Fort Wayne Wayne High School had a massive 31-point performance in one game and backed it up with 20 points in another. He is a very talented offensive player that can create shots consistently for himself from nearly any spot on the floor. Quick, athletic, and aggressive with the ball in his hands.
