Metro Indy Fall League Week Two – Top Performers, Part One

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sunday's in October may be for the National Football League for most people, but for us at Prep Hoops Indiana they are for the Metro Indy Fall League. After missing the first weekend we had boots on the ground at Noblesville Boys and Girls Club for the second weekend of competition. Here are some of the individual standouts and top performers from what we saw on Sunday afternoon and evening at the annual Metro Indy Fall League.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560420"],"_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-68ed0469b1cd6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ranked as a Top 25 prospect in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2028 Rankings, Davison showed off his offensive skill level on Sunday evening at the Metro Indy Fall League. The 6'4" guard displayed some high-level poise and pace while operating at high speeds in the open floor. He came racing down the floor, executed a pretty behind the back dribble, stopped on a dime, and knocked in a mid-range jump shot that really caught our attention. Davison is an excellent three-point shooting threat as well. His growth as a ball handler and playmaker will only make him that much more dangerous as a scorer/shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414954"],"_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-68ed0469b1d6f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It is no secret that Devine is one of the top pure scorers in the Class of 2027. The 6'2" guard averaged 15.8 points per game as a freshman and then jumped to 22.0 points per game as a sophomore at Bremen High School. Devine looked the part at the Metro Indy Fall League while playing with and against a higher level of competition as well. His shot-making ability translates, but he actually was just as impressive as a playmaker on Sunday. He handled the ball well in the open floor, played with pace, and was an effective passer to open teammats.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1728675"],"_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-68ed0469b1de4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sunday was as well as we've seen Harris play in quite some time. He was incredibly aggressive off of the dribble and consistently got to his spots throughout the event. Harris was scoring it a high rate with jump shots, floaters, and creative finishes at the end of his drives against size. He also had many opportunities to dump it off to teammates as he drives continued to attract more and more attention. Now back at Arsenal Tech High School, look for Harris to have a big senior season on the offensive end of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2625235"],"_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-68ed0469b1e5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It obviously is no surprise that Ladd, a borderline Top 10 prospect and Indiana Junior All-Star, would be among the top performers at the Metro Indy Fall League. However, the Akron commit really stood out on Sunday. He looks to have potentially grown a bit even just from this summer and is as bouncy as ever. A few of the dunks he had at the end of his drives stopped everyone in the gym in their tracks. Ladd's impressive combination of perimeter skill as a shooter and explosiveness as a finisher above the rim is really, really impressive. Look for him to have a big senior season at Ben Davis High School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2101318"],"_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-68ed0469b1ec8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We came away very impressed with Miamba's play at the Metro Indy Fall League. The junior at South Bend St. Joseph looked to have gotten a bit bigger and stronger since watching him over the summer while maintaining his fluid athleticism and two-way versatility. Miamba really stood out on the boards with a few athletic rebounds and on the rim-run with some athletic finishes in transition. Look for him to really make an impact in the South Bend St. Joseph frontcourt as the reigning Class 3A State Champions transition up to Class 4A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2272232"],"_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-68ed0469b1f3c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Recent Taylor University commit [player_tooltip player_id='2272232' first='Isaac' last='Pickel'] was excellent on Sunday evening at the Metro Indy Fall League. The 6'8" forward is such an impressive athlete for his size and his skill level just continues to improve. He stepped into a three-point shot on the perimeter, hit a couple of runners in the lane, and consistently scored in a variety of ways from the dunker's spot. His bounciness and ability to play well above the rim as a finisher really stands out. Look for Pickel to have a big senior season for Parke Heritage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561002"],"_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-68ed0469b1fad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another star from the South Bend area that came down to the Metro Indy Fall League on Sunday, Tolbert Jr. stood out as a scorer and all-around playmaker. He has good size in the backcourt 6'2"-6'3" guard, is very quick end-to-end with the ball in his hands, and was consistently involved in the rebounding efforts for his team. Tolbert Jr., a star at South Bend Adams High School, continues to fly a bit under-the-radar heading into his senior season. He really proved himself on Sunday evening as a weapon to be very aware of in the Class of 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
