Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam: Kyler’s Players To Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best events of the entire spring, not just here in Indiana but in the Midwest in general, is the annual Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam. This is the premier non-live evaluation period event of the year. Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College coaches will descend upon Fort Wayne, Indiana for an excellent weekend of grassroots basketball featuring many of the best teams from the surrounding states. It is also one of the best weekends of the year for scouting services to get evaluations on so many players in one area. PrepHoops Indiana will have coverage, as always, from the opening tip-off on Friday until the final buzzer on Sunday. Here are my 8 players to watch this weekend. <br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2425772"],"_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-69f15917eb2db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top teams that will be in Fort Wayne this weekend will be Indiana Elite 2027 3SSB and with that, one of the top players in the in-state class of 2027 will be Terre Haute North's [player_tooltip player_id='2425772' first='Tyler' last='Renn']. The 6'6 hybrid wing has had a strong start to the spring and will look to continue to build momentum. He uses his length well at the end of his drives to get up and finish around the rim. You can watch Renn and Indiana Elite at 9:45 PM on Friday, and 11:45 AM and 3:30 AM on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140417"],"_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-69f15917eb363"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top rising big men over the past season has been Penn center [player_tooltip player_id='2140417' first='Makale' last='Price'] and this weekend at Run-N-Slam, he will be one of the top big men in the in-state 2027 to watch. Running with [program_tooltip program_id='2993616' first='UNRNKD' last='EYCL'], Price is a dominant post player that is so strong under the basket and one of the best pure rebounders in his class. His style and frame make him a must-watch player this weekend.

The 6'4 guard has seen a lot of growth in his game the past few seasons and with that, he has had a strong start to the spring with Progeny 2027 - UA Grind. He is a primary playmaker with good ball handling ability, pace, and court vision. Watch him on Friday at 7:15 PM, and Saturday at 11:45 AM and 4:45 PM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2622247"],"_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-69f15917eb412"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top under-the-radar players we have in the in-state 2027 class is [player_tooltip player_id='2622247' first='Trayven' last='Buis'] out of Northview High School. Buis is a 5'11 point guard that is one of the main ballhandlers on the very talented [program_tooltip program_id='2337502' first='Indiana' last='Jammers UA Rise'] team. His pop of quick-twitch playmaking and athleticism really stand out and help separate him from other smaller guards in the class. This weekend, you can watch him on Friday at 7:15 PM, and Saturday at 9:15 AM and 2:15 PM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2559521"],"_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-69f15917eb464"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the players with the highest potential in the in-state 2028 class will be playing for All Ohio Red this weekend at Run-N-Slam, with that player being [player_tooltip player_id='2559521' first='Varschon' last='Clark'] of Hamilton Southeastern. Clark had one of the more impressive sophomore seasons in the state this past season and has continued that into the AAU season. He scores in a multitude of ways and is one of the best in his class at getting downhill and hitting contested shots.

After being one of the few freshmen last season to have earn quality varsity experience, the 5'11 guard has become one of the top players to watch in his grade in the state. Kennedy is a explosive, playmaking guard that knows how score and create around him. This weekend, he will be in action on Friday at 9:45 PM, and Saturday at 11:45 AM and 4:45 PM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3254540"],"_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-69f15917eb559"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our final 2029 prospect on this watch list comes from Evansville Reitz High School, with that player being [player_tooltip player_id='3254540' first='Grayson' last='Dease'].

He is a fluid player that shows a lot of confidence on the offensive side of the ball.

Running with [program_tooltip program_id='2076451' first='D1' last='Indiana'] P32, Baker is one of the true snipers in the 2028 class while also being a player that can make plays on the ball, as well. At 6'2, Baker is a rising guard that is expected to take major leap over the next year. Watch him on Friday at 7:15 PM, and Saturday at 9:15 AM and 3:30 PM. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
