Weekend Review - Six Stock-Rising Backcourt Prospects

The grassroots circuit is certainly different than it used to be. Gone are the days of there just being a handful of teams from each state all converging to the same locations each weekend. Shoe circuits have led to taking the best teams all across the country while even at the local level there are multiple different events each weekend. For example, this weekend there were three different events within a 10 mile radius of the Noblesville/Fishers area. Then, about 30 miles west, there was a shoe circuit event in Lebanon. Of course, Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground coverage all weekend long from all four events. We will continue cranking out content from the busy weekend over the next few day and now want to highlight some more prospects that really made their name known this weekend that we haven't gotten to talk about yet.    There was a stretch in Sunday morning's game between [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last=''] and [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] where Addison completely took over from beyond the arc. He made four three-point shots in the span of six or seven possessions and finished with 23 points to tie a game-high. He will be one that small college coaches need to have on their respective lists heading into the summer.     An athletic, highly composed guard that has played for La Lumiere's second team for a few years, Smith was a bright spot for Region Force in a loss to [program_tooltip program_id='2076166' first='Grand' last='Park Premier'] on Friday evening. He has the necessary wiggle with the ball in his hands to create his own shot, elevates well enough to get it off cleanly, and has a little explosive pop when finishing at the end of his drives. Intriguing prospect to keep an eye on.     Spurgeon will be asked to step into a much larger role next season at Jimtown after the graduation of two star players. Based on what we saw over the weekend from the 6'0" sharp-shooter he will be ready to answer the call. He averaged 13.3 points per game while serving as a primary playmaking for Region Force Elite as well. Under-the-radar, high-academic prospect to watch this spring and summer.     This [program_tooltip program_id='2305499' first='Hoosier' last='State Prospects'] guard has had a very strong start to the spring. He continued his strong play through this past weekend capping it off with a 15-point, 10-assists, zero turnover performance in a 79-78 win over MidPro West to secure a 2-1 record at the event. Thomas creates his own shot well and has the shiftiness necessary to make plays for his teammates as well.     On Saturday, we watched Webster scoring 17 points to lead [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] to convincing victory over [program_tooltip program_id='2559412' first='Marlin' last='Academy'] Black. His ability to create penetration and score from any spot on the floor, while still being a primary playmaker, really stood out. Then, he backed it up with 15 points in a game we watched part of on Sunday when [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] defeated [program_tooltip program_id='2076924' first='EG10' last='']. The Lawrence North guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] should really turn some heads this summer.     Putting together one of the most impressive individual performances of the weekend, this list would have felt incomplete without another shoutout to Wilson. The dynamic 6'0" guard from Shortridge High School poured in 28 points, including six three-point shots, in a win for the [program_tooltip program_id='2129012' first='Circle' last='City Shooters'] on Sunday afternoon.
