Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam Preview – 5 Teams to Follow

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024 Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam doesn't have quite the draw that it has traditionally had. It is still one of the must-attend events for area small college coaches, but with EYBL, 3SSB, and other events pulling teams all over the country this year's tournament will lack some of the top-end talent. However, there are still plenty of excellent prospects from here in the Hoosier state worth following and Prep Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Indiana will have boots on the ground coverage throughout the weekend. As we begin to preview the event let's take a look at five of the 17u team that college programs will want to follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator
