Prep Hoops Indiana "The Expo" - Team 6 Evaluations

Our fall showcase series came to an end on Saturday as Prep Hoops Indiana hosted “The Expo” at The Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon. This exclusive event featured about 60 of the top Class of 2026 and 2027 prospects and is one of the most watched by college programs in the state. As always, over the next week or so, we will be evaluating every prospect in attendance. Here are our evaluations of the prospects that played on Team 5 at “The Expo.”   ***If you notice that you did not receive an evaluation please contact Brandon Ramsey via email at coachbrandonramsey@gmail.com and he will quickly work to resolve the issue.***    One of two out-of-state prospects to attend "The Expo," Buffaloe shined as a playmaker for Team 6. His quickness with the ball in his hands and ability to change directions fluidly allowed him to beat his man off of the bounce and get into the paint where he attracted the attention of multiple defenders. The Clay High School junior was effective as a passer making clean, crisp passes to teammates as defenders collapsed on his drives. HIs length and athleticism allowed him to be effective on both ends of the floor in the backcourt.     We watched Page on back-to-back days first at "The Expo" and then at Marian Elite Camp on Sunday. The 6'2" guard has gotten noticeably bigger and stronger of late which has taken his offensive game up another notch. Already known as an effective scorer and excellent shooter, Page now has the positional size to really play through contact and operate at a higher level off of the dribble. Look for him to have a big junior season at Sheridan and really start to garner some recognition as one of the top scorers/shooters in the area.     Here is what we had to say about Lake in our write up featuring the top performers at "The Expo."   Yet another very impressive big man in attendance at “The Expo,” this Bishop Chatard forward/center dominated the glass and flashed some intriguing face-up ability. Lake is a good right hand drive from the elbows, short corner, or when facing up off of the block. He also can make mid-range, face-up jumpers in that range as well. Look for him to have a big senior season for the Trojans and continue to attract a good deal of small college attention.     Bridgeman Jr.'s size and physical tools stand out right away. He is a big, strong, and athletic forward that really caused some matchup problems throughout "The Expo." The South Bend Washington High School junior made a couple of tough mid-range jump shots, was a confident driver from the perimeter, and even flashed some positional playmaking ability as a passer. His overall combination of size and skill makes him an intriguing long-term prospect to follow out of the South Bend area.     There is so much potential to Wall's game. We first saw him over a year ago when attending an open gym at Guerin Catholic and immediately noticed his long, lean, 6'7"-6'8" frame. Now, the junior big man has packed on some muscle and is more confident as a finisher around the basket. He has good hands, runs the floor very well, and is bouncy at the rim. The junior class at Guerin is loaded, but Wall is an under-the-radar name in that class to keep an eye on over the next two seasons. He has as much long-term upside as anyone.     Here is what we had to say about Lake in our write up featuring the top performers at "The Expo."   Over the course of the last few months there haven't been many Class of 2027 prospects impress us as much as this 6'9″ forward/center from Bishop Chatard. McCormack is a long, lean lefty that can stretch the floor out beyond the three-point arc. He is effective inside too and can protect the rim, but that part of his game will improve even more as he gets stronger. His three-point shooting and size though make him a very intriguing prospect to follow.
