Prep Hoops Indiana “The Expo” – Top Performers, Part Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>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. However, to begin, let's highlight some of the top individual performers from “The Expo.”</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2439327"],"_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-68d1921718fa0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The lone out-of-state prospect to come to "The Expo" in Indiana, Amous is ranked in the Top 100 by Prep Hoops Illinois. The 6'4"-6'5" senior forward was a load around the basket as others had a hard time matching his strength and physicality. Amous, who attends Lincoln Park High School in Chicago, was excellent on the boards and finished several offensive rebound putbacks. He displayed soft hands and smooth footwork. in the post. Small college coaches should take a look at Amous heading into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141030"],"_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-68d1921719002"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kobe's athleticism and ability to create his own shot really stood out to us at "The Expo" on Saturday. The 6'1" guard looks poised to take over a larger role this season in the Portage High School backcourt that graduated a lot of production. His ability to consistently get to the basket and finish with either hand at the end of his drives was very impressive. It will be interesting to follow his development moving forward. High-upside Class of 2027 guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2831756"],"_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-68d192171904b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">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.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2272819"],"_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-68d192171908f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you like athletic forwards who will help in the rebounding efforts and play extremely hard at all times then you will like McQuigg. The 6'5" forward shined at "The Expo" doing a lot of the things that he does best. He can drive it right against other front court players using his size and athleticism. Then, defensively, he versatile enough to check multiple positions before chasing down rebounds. Small college coaches should continue to recruit McQuigg heading into his senior season at Floyd Central High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622086"],"_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-68d19217190d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Muntel was able to get his feet wet at the varsity level as a sophomore, but now is ready to step into a much larger role in Westfield High School's front court. The 6'6" forward is very athletic and moves fluidly for his size. He is good on the rim run, can score it on the roll, and has real upside as a rebounder on both ends of the floor. Muntel really shined at "The Expo" and definitely looks ready to make a leap as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140403"],"_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-68d1921719132"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is hard to ignore this kind of size and perimeter shooting ability. What Partenheimer, a 6'8" forward from Forest Park High School, can do as a catch-and-shoot threat is what has caught the attention of college coaches heading into his junior season. However, at "The Expo" on Saturday he showed some improved ability as an interior scorer as well. That inside-outside threat will make him very difficult for opponents to handle this coming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561016"],"_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-68d1921719173"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This explosive point guard was making a living in transition and consistently got paint touches in the half court that led to layups and assists. Peters has such a quick first step and a variety of combo moves that he can use to win one-on-one matchups on the perimeter. Crown Point High School is loaded this season, especially in the backcourt, but Peters will be a major part of the equation once again for what could be the preseason Class 4A State Title favorites.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
