<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday night Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground at the Indiana State Fairgrounds for the inaugural Breakaway Holiday Classic presented by Get8 Sports. This event was held at the wonderful Corteva Coliseum featuring two girls games earlier in the day and two boys games in the evening. Here are a handful of prospects to know from Avon, Bishop Luers, Brebeuf Jesuit, and Harrison (West Lafayette).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2141040"],"_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-6948b7fc539c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baker's reputation as one of the best three-point shooters in Indiana's Class of 2027 precedes him. He had it on display at the Breakaway Holiday Classic. The 6'1" junior guard hit five three-point shots, including three in the fourth quarter, while trying to bring Harrison (West Lafayette) back. He was very impressive as a cutter and was excellent at setting himself up to come off of screening action. The work he did without the ball is why he was able to get off so many good looks despite commanding so much attention. Baker finished with 22 points in the 55-53 loss to Avon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561106"],"_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-6948b7fc53a23"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ford, one of the highest ranked prospects in Saturday's event, was a consistent steadying presence in the Braves' backcourt. The Wabash College commit finished with 12 points and 7 rebounds in Brebeuf Jesuit's 74-62 win over Bishop Luers. His athleticism and downhill explosiveness when getting to the rim really stood out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140343"],"_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-6948b7fc53a6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There are definitely some tools to like when evaluating this junior wing/forward that now stands at 6'4". He has some obvious length and positional size for guy who can stretch the floor as a catch-and-shoot threat. Edmundson was at his best Saturday night from beyond the arc. He connected on three three-point shots on his way to finishing with 16 points in Brebeuf Jesuit's 74-62 win over Bishop Luers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2414946"],"_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-6948b7fc53aa9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A transfer from Liberty Christian, English had his best game in a Bishop Luers uniform yet on Saturday night. The athletic 6'2" junior guard had 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals in the Knights' 74-62 loss to Brebeuf Jesuit. English is definitely one to watch in the Class of 2027 in the Fort Wayne area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561685"],"_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-6948b7fc53ae6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the highest ranked unsigned seniors in the state of Indiana, Minnett showcased his skill level on Saturday night. The 6'0" guard connected on three three-point shots while also flashing his explosive athleticism by jumping a couple of passing lanes and finishing with big dunks. He scored 12 of his game-high 23 points in the fourth quarter to help preserve a 55-53 Avon win over Harrison (West Lafayette).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Alonzo Smith","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77243","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Avon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6948b7fc53b76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most impressive new names that we picked up from Saturday's event, Alonzo Smith will quickly be a stock-riser in the Class of 2028. The 6'5" long, bouncy forward/center finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds for Avon High School in their 55-53 win over Harrison (West Lafayette).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2892479"],"_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-6948b7fc53bbb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It isn't hard to tell that Taylor is a future Division I football player when watching him on the hardwood. The recent Valparaiso University football commit is a beast around the basket for Bishop Luers. He is a bit undersized positionally, but makes up for it with his combination of strength and footwork. Taylor scored 12 points and had 4 rebounds on Saturday, but Bishop Luers fell to Brebeuf Jesuit 76-62.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
