<p>At the core of our job is evaluating high school prospects and disseminating that information to college coaches at all levels. That requires a lot of in-depth research, film study, boots on the ground viewing, and a good deal of travel. In order to cover the entire state to the best of our ability we have to hit the road and get to games that aren't necessarily close to home. We obviously spend a lot of time in central Indiana, but now that we are over halfway through the year we have to make specific decisions to see certain prospects that we haven't come across yet. Here are some of those guys who are on my short list to see soon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Addison was out with a foot injury when we attended Brownsburg High School practice this fall so we haven't seen him play since the summer. The Bulldogs are 8-7 on the season with this unsigned senior point guard averaging 10.3 points and 4.9 assists per game. We have always liked his ability to create his own shot and score off of the bounce, but based on his assist numbers he has really advanced as a playmaker this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We obviously know that Bowling III is one of the top prospects in Indiana's Class of 2028 and have him ranked as such. Prep Hoops Indiana was in the gym at Anderson High School this fall for a practice and saw him play live a couple times as a freshman as well as over the summer in AAU play. Now, we are anxious to see his improvements as a sophomore. Bowling III, a 6'4" wing, averages a team-leading 18.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Flint is definitely in the category of a prospect we need to see more. The 6'0" junior guard is averaging a team-high 14.2 points per game this season while proving himself as one of the best pure shooters in the area. He is 24-53 (45.3%) from three-point range in just 10 games. Heritage Christian is quietly 9-4 on the season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We quickly identified this prospect as one of the best players in the Class of 2028 when he entered high school. Following a strong freshman season he solidified himself as a Top 25 prospect in the class. However, our opportunities to evaluate him live have been admittedly slim. Johnson is averaging a team-leading 18.1 points per game as a sophomore at Muncie Central High School.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Marion Giants have struggled a bit as a team this season, just 3-9 overall, but Jones Jr. remains one of the most talented unsigned senior guards in the state. A bigger, left-handed playmaker averages 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.5 steals per game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Roncalli features three seniors averaging at least 13 points per game led by Kesler at 16.1. The athletic 6'3" guard is making two three-point shots per game, but really excels when using his length and explosiveness to attack the rim off of the dribble. Kesler is a solid under-the-radar prospect for small college programs to continue to pursue through the rest of this season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A pair of talented sophomores lead the way for this Anderson team, but Lewis is a great floor general that helps run the show. The playmaking senior averages 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. Lewis is very strong and quick, has great on-ball defensive instincts, and can set up his teammates at a high-level. Good under-the-radar unsigned senior point guard.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We have seen Thomas play a lot over the years, but we haven't yet seen Franklin Community this season. The Grizzly Cubs are 8-7 on the year with this unsigned senior point guard leading the way averaging 13.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game. Thomas has had some big games against strong competition this season.</p>
