<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are less than a week 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":["2833852"],"_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-68b8851710281"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We are excited to welcome this out-of-state prospect to the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase. Anytime you come across a young 6'6" forward you will at least be intrigued. Amburgey, from George Rogers Clark High School in Kentucky, certainly possesses some impressive physical tools for a young prospect. It will be fun to see him go against the best of the best from the state of Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2814927"],"_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-68b8851710324"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase is all about getting early exposure. That can be especially beneficial for homeschooled prospects. Culbertson is a 5'10" guard beginning his career by taking the homeschool route and will get some valuable exposure to our team of scouts as he begins his freshman season. We are excited to evaluate him at our upcoming event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2955304"],"_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-68b88517103a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Typically, the Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase is our first chance to see any of the Class of 2029 prospects. However, we watched Gold Jr play live a couple of times out at the Peach Jam in late July as the talented 6'1" playmaker helped lead [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] 14u to the Jr. EYBL championship game. He could compete for some minutes in the Cathedral High School backcourt sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2954147"],"_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-68b8851710442"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another talented guard coming up in the freshman class for Cathedral High School, Hill had a product spring and summer with Indiana Basketball Club. The 5'11" playmaker is a relentless driver that can finish consistently with either hand when he gets to the rim. His quickness and ball handling ability should allow him to shine among some of his most talented peers at the upcoming Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2956681"],"_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-68b8851710516"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Undoubtedly one of the top prospects in the incoming freshman class, Tonagel is another guy that we have been able to see a play a few times. The shot-making guard was the star of Oak Hill's game at the Charlie Hughes Showcase against Park Tudor and also a key piece of [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat']'s run to the 14u championship game at the Jr. EYBL Championships this summer in North Augusta, South Carolina.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2953938"],"_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-68b8851710586"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The younger brother of one of Heritage Hills' stars, and the son of their head coach, this younger Wetzel promises to be a good long-term prospect down in southern Indiana as well. The 6'2" wing has impressive physical and athletic tools for his age and should compete very well amongst his peers at the upcoming Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase in Noblesville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
