Purdue Team Camp – Ramsey’s Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Indiana continued our tour around the state on Friday with a trip to Purdue University for one of their several High School Team Camp dates. This group of teams was especially impressive featuring of the best teams, and individual prospects, from around the state. Let's dive on in and take a closer look at some of the individual top performers and standouts from Friday's action in West Lafayette.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f20e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Minnett is really starting to solidify himself as one of the top catch-and-shoot threats in Indiana's rising senior class. That isn't to say that he can't create off of the dribble because he has some explosive athleticism when going to finish at the rim, but he is truly at his best when spotted up on the perimeter as a catch-and-shoot threat. Scholarship programs should make it a point to evaluate Minnett closely this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2252566"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f2141"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We continue to be impressed with Parra's shot-making ability this spring and summer. It comes as no real surprise after he made 51 three-point shots at a 40% clip for Mt. Vernon (Fortville) as a junior, but it is good to see him continue to make shots at a high-level. He gets it off in a hurry from beyond the arc and has deep range. Playing alongside the 2026 Indiana Mr. Basketball front-runner, look for Parra to have no short ridge of open shots as a senior. College programs need to see him play over the next couple of months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2813503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f218d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'4" forward from Brownstown Central High School is one of the best under-the-radar catch-and-shoot threats in Indiana's rising senior class. Pendleton made 66 three-point shots as a junior at an incredible 49.3%. However, he can also really score it in the post. He had success on Friday scoring via the drop step and then using his upper body strength to carve out space to finish. High-level small college prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1989437"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f21d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We know this Chesterton guard is an excellent offensive player. However, he really took some things to another level on Friday at Purdue. The 6'4" guard made some tough shots from all levels while displaying great body control. Pokorney uses his size and athleticism to make a lot of jump shots, but can space the floor as a catch-and-shoot threat or use his size to get all of the way to the rim. It is easy to see why the Crossroads League is already recruiting him heavily.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1552404"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f221c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A Dartmouth commit, Pollack really stood out right away for Deerfield High School out of Illinois. The 6'8" left-handed post player impressed not only with his scoring ability, but also as a passer and shot-blocker. Pollack moves well for his size and looked really comfortable with his back to the basket. It was pretty clear why he is ranked as the #28 prospect in the Prep Hoops Illinois rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561120"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f2262"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of two very impressive rising senior guards for East Chicago Central High School on Friday, Pollard showed off his playmaking ability early on against Brownsburg. The 5'9" guard can make shots beyond the arc or slice his way to the basket off of the dribble. His ability to operate against the interior size of Brownsburg was very impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561483"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f22a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We didn't get a chance to see Sprigler any this spring so it was good to see him on the floor with Silver Creek High School on Friday at Purdue. The 5'11" guard shot it very well from three-point range both off the catch and the dribble. There is no shortage of talent on the Dragons' roster, but don't forget that this rising senior guard was their second leading scorer last season. Small college programs definitely will want to be on him in the coming months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625504"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-684c9b94f22ed"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of two very impressive rising senior guards for East Chicago Central High School on Friday, Watkins really popped as an athlete in the Cardinals backcourt. He was explosive on his way to the rim, and defensively, while also making several jump shots on the perimeter. Watkins is an intriguing guard for small college coaches to keep an eye on through the rest of this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
