Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam - Under-the-Radar Big Men

Prep Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Indiana had boots on the ground coverage throughout the weekend in Fort Wayne for the annual Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam. This event is always the premier recruiting and evaluation event of the spring and that certainly was the case again this year. We really value the opportunity to see so many teams from the Hoosier state, from across several different shoe/independent circuits, come together to play in one event. Over the next few days we will be pumping a lot of content from the Run N Slam. In this article let's take a look at some of the most impressive under-the-radar front court prospects from the weekend.    There were a couple of intriguing new names that surfaced from Fort Wayne Wayne's front court over the weekend at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam. One of them was this 6'8" Class of 2026 center. Austin was relentless on the offensive glass for LVL UP - Latham and was able to finish putbacks and/or draw fouls consistently. His obvious size matched with some physicality and bounciness at the rim makes him an under-the-radar prospect to follow in the rising senior class.     There isn't a player right now in Indiana's Class of 2026 that we are buying more stock in than Belcher. The 6'8" center from Fort Wayne South Side is so incredibly bouncy at the rim. He can catch it inside and elevate to finish over his left shoulder, finish above the rim from the dunker's spot, and has the ability to go get rebounds outside of his area. There should be scholarship offers to come from various levels for Belcher in the coming months.     There aren't many, if any, big men in Indiana's Class of 2026 with more pure physicality than Dokes. He truly carves out space around the basket whether that be as a scorer on the block or as a rebounder on either end. Dokes, a Pike High School prospect, has been consistently impressive this spring for [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] and that strong play continued over the weekend at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam.     Hirschy is part of a talented freshman class at New Palestine that will look to be "next up" after losing a lot to graduation. The super physical 6'3"-6'4" forward had some excellent stretches for a good [program_tooltip program_id='2400000' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Indiana'] 15u team over the weekend. He is excellent on the roll and moves so well for his size. Football may be his future, but he is a heck of a force on the hardwood as well.     In theory, this 6'7" forward from Mt. Vernon (Fortville) High School is vastly overqualified for an "under-the-radar" article. Already ranked #37 in the Prep Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Indiana Class of 2027 Prospect Rankings, we at least are well aware of his ability. However, on a statewide basis, there are still plenty of people that aren't aware that Vise has become one of the top big men in his class. Over the weekend he was relentlessly tracking down rebounds, fluidly running the floor, and finishing around the rim consistently. Such a high upside.     Similar to his Class of 2026 counterpart at Fort Wayne Wayne High School, this 6'7"-6'8" big man really caught our attention at the Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam. Playing with a very good [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] - UA Rise 16u squad, Williams' size obviously stands out right away but it is the way he rebounds the basketball and protects the rim that makes him an intriguing prospect. Certainly one to keep an eye on.
