Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo - Team 4 Evaluations

All of our events at Prep Hoops Indiana generate a lot of attention across the state. However, the growth of The Expo is a major point of pride for our team as we wrap up the summer. This year we doubled the size of the event bringing in nearly 120 prospects in the Classes of 2027 and 2028. Also, more than just the raw numbers, the level of talent was very impressive. We hosted over 40 Top 100 prospects today and had college coaches from the Division II, Division III, and NAIA levels in attendance. This was truly one of the best exposure events of the year that you could attend as a prospect.   As always, we will be unleashing a ton of content over the next week or so coming out of The Expo. We will have evaluations of every player in attendance post on a team-by-team basis. Also, top performers, new names, and more will be highlighted.

Here is what we had to say about the sharp-shooting guard...   Minch was excellent in both three-on-three and five-on-five play at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo. The 6'2" guard is an impressive shot-maker showcasing the ability to create his own looks off of the dribble and space the floor as a catch-and-shoot threat. He came in and played a valuable role for Scecina Memorial as a sophomore and should blossom into an even larger role now as a junior. Minch is a stock-riser in the Class of 2028 that should continue to attract attention with his offensive skill level.     Berger is going to be a name you start to hear quite a bit this season at Zionsville. The 6'3" guard is poised for a breakout junior season. He has good positional size and length on the perimeter, is an excellent athlete, and is well-rounded on both ends of the floor. With his ability to explode to the basket off of the dribble and make open catch-and-shoot three-point shots he will prove to be a very difficult matchup. Under-the-radar Class of 2028 prospect for college coaches to get to know.     Another top stock-riser from The Expo, King proved himself as a shot-maker and playmaker. Here is what we had to say following our event...   Generally known as a pure point guard, King shot the lights out from three-point range at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo. He averaged over five assists per game as a junior to lead the Woodmen, but on Sunday he was pouring it in as a scoring threat from the perimeter while still showing off his playmaking ability. Adding more of a scoring threat to what we know he can do as a facilitator will only make him that much more of a prospect heading into his senior season at Greenwood.     Hardiman was one of the top ranked prospects at The Expo on Sunday. Here is what we had to say about him in our top performers write-up...   One of the top prospects in attendance at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo was this 6'2" guard from Merrillville High School. Hardiman is an excellent pure scorer who simply always finds ways to put the ball in the basket. He is a very aggressive driver with long arms and a shifty handle that he uses to get to the rim. We also saw him knock in some pull-up jump shots on Sunday. Division I programs should continue to monitor him closely over the next couple of years. The offensive talent and length on the perimeter is certainly there for him to be an intriguing prospect.     This 6'7" center is going to be a fun, intriguing prospect to follow in the Class of 2028. He obviously checks the boxes immediately in terms of athletic and physical tools. Crosby is long and bouncy at the rim proving himself as a two-way threat. He is very good out of the dunker's spot, has a lot of upside as a rim-runner, and should become a big time shot blocker. Look for him to have a breakout junior season at Jeffersonville High School.     One of the top stock-risers from The Expo that we wrote about, here is what we had to say about this talented playmaker...   This 6'1" athletic guard caught our attention a few times over the summer with a very good  <a href="https://prephoops.com/program/marlin-academy/">[program_tooltip program_id='2559412' first='Marlin' last='Academy']</a> (P32) 16u team, but Sunday at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo was as good as we have seen him play in person. Smith was excellent off of the dribble consistently getting to mid-range pull-up jumpers and creating open looks for his teammates. He was effective out beyond the arc as a three-point shot-maker as well. His quickness with the ball in his hands makes him a tough cover on the perimeter for opposing defenders. Look for him to have a big junior season at Crawfordsville High School.     Based on what we say at The Expo it looks like Harrington is ready to step into a larger role as a junior at Christian Academy. He was in the backcourt rotation as a sophomore, but now looks ready to be more of a scoring threat. Harrington has a good positional size and an athletic build that he uses to be effective off of the bounce. We will definitely be continuing to track his progress and production over the next couple of years.     The backcourt at Pike High School is completely loaded with talent right now. However, there are under-the-radar names that deserve some attention as well. That is simply how deep the talent pool is for the Red Devils. Johnson is one of those guards who may not fill up the box score during the season, but is still a talented playmaker. He displayed his abilities at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo on Sunday.     Nash was identified as one of the top performers at The Expo. Here is what we had to say about the versatile wing...   This 6'5" forward from Kokomo High School is playing at a high level of late. We saw some really good things from him when attending a practice at Kokomo recently and he backed it up on Sunday at Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo. Nash excels due to his versatility. He is a very good ball handler and passer, but can also bully smaller defenders with his strength and physicality. We saw him get up above the rim on Sunday as well showcasing an added pop of athleticism to his game. There is a lot of two-way upside to Nash's game.
