<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are less than a month out from the annual Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase. Arguably the best event that we put on every year, over 100 of the state's best incoming freshmen will put their talent on display in front of our team of scouts. This is, for the most part, our first look at the Class of 2029. Based on our research, talking to trusted sources, and what little we have seen so far of the incoming class here are eight prospects that have signed up for the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase that we are excited to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Register for the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase:&nbsp;<a href="https://events.prephoops.com/e/1558/register/indiana-freshman-showcase">https://events.prephoops.com/e/1558/register/indiana-freshman-showcase</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>***Used Code RamseyHoops25 for a discount at checkout!***</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2409538"],"_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-68aca69ad5bfc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is so much talent coming through the system at Crown Point High School right now that it can be really tough to sift through it all and find the best prospects. That is what makes the Freshman Showcase so important. This is will offer our staff of scouts an early glimpse at Bazin, an incoming 6'2" wing, before his high school career really takes off in the winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2388368"],"_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-68aca69ad5c65"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bridgwaters is a very talented left-handed hybrid wing/forward entering his freshman season at Bloomington High School North. The 6'3" long, lean athlete has a smooth outside stroke that he uses to stretch the defense, but can also use his positional size and length to score around the basket against smaller defenders. He should be one to watch from southern Indiana at our Freshman Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2869498"],"_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-68aca69ad5cc2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daugherty is a skilled 5'10" guard from Indian Creek High School that is capable of playing both on and off the ball in the backcourt. He is a good shooter on the move, has deep range, and can make plays off of the bounce as a lead guard. We look forward to him showcasing his skill set at the upcoming Freshman Showcase in September.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2919467"],"_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-68aca69ad5d0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This shifty, athletic guard has a lot of success when getting downhill to the rim. He is capable of getting paint touches in one-on-one situations from the perimeter and consistently makes good decisions as he drives it. There is obviously no shortage of talent, especially in the backcourt, at Fishers High School right now, but Nourene is one one to remember long term.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2369872"],"_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-68aca69ad5d51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A highly regarded three-sport athlete out of Geneva High School in Illinois, Rader is coming across the boarder to showcase his talents here in Indiana. The 5'10" point guard comes in with a decorated grassroots career already under his belt and plenty of name recognition. It will be fun to evaluate him against the best-of-the-best in the Hoosier state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2918354"],"_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-68aca69ad5d97"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There seems to be a lot of talent in the Gary area in this Class of 2029. Shivers is a shifty, playmaking guard that we have seen highlights of, but haven't seen play live to this date. We look forward to the opportunity to a live evaluation of the Gary Lighthouse prospect at our upcoming Freshman Showcase in early September.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
