<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The overall talent tool of this year's GRBA National Championship isn't quite what it used to be. With back-to-back live periods the last two weekends in July, many teams have called it quits on the grassroots season. We at Prep Hoops Indiana believe that decision is shortsighted as there are only 23 Class of 2025 prospects at IHSAA schools that hold Division I scholarship offers. Therefore, the "live period" is meaningless to the overwhelming vast majority of teams and players. Events like the GRBA National Championship used to feature ALL of the best teams from across the Midwest and was a premier recruiting event for small college programs. It is still going to be very good and small college coaches should absolutely make the trip to Fort Wayne, but those of us that have been around for over a decade long for a return to how grassroots basketball used to be. That is a deeper conversation for a different day though. Thanks for reading the quick rant, but now let's highlight some of the 17u teams from Indiana that those small college coaches in attendance this weekend will want to follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5Star -
