Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo – Team 7 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 double 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.   If you did not receive an evaluation please contact Brandon Ramsey directly via Twitter DM or email at coachbrandonramsey@gmail.com    Starting off our breakdown of Team 7 at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo is [player_tooltip player_id='2906905' first='Max' last='Buening'] of Greensburg High School. Right away, you notice when watching Buening that he is a super aggressive guard who wants to compete on both ends of the floor. He had a nice steal that resulted in a layup in one of the games I saw him play and was always willing to compete on the glass. A very strong attacker off the wing.     A wing that I came away impressed with from the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo was [player_tooltip player_id='2560344' first='Brody' last='Hartman'] of Triton Central High School. Hartman is a 6'3" wing who has good positional size on the perimeter. He was one of the better rebounders I saw throughout the entire day, and you could tell that he was at his most comfortable playing off the ball as a scoring threat. A lot of what Triton Central does this season could go through him.     It is not a stretch at all for me to say that one of the better guards in the gym at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo was [player_tooltip player_id='2470620' first='Klinton' last='South']. Transferring over to Anderson from Center Grove High School, South showed a lot of promise with the ball in his hands throughout the day on Sunday. A high-IQ guard with a tight handle on the ball, South has a good feel for the game and can find ways to make a play for himself and his teammates. He will make an immediate impact for Anderson this season.     There were a few big men who had standout days at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo, and one of those guys was [player_tooltip player_id='2889350' first='Luke' last='Richardson'] out of Evansville Mater Dei High School. Richardson is a true big man who may not be the quickest player on the floor but has the size and skill to hold his own. He never seems to get sped up on the floor and often plays within himself. A standout play that I saw from him was a baseline drive with a nice reverse finish.     One of the top overall players who competed in the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo was, without question, [player_tooltip player_id='2538890' first='Bryce' last='Kobe'] of Portage High School. Kobe is a super skilled guard who can score at multiple levels on the floor and just overall produce. He made a lot of plays both off the ball and when he had a chance to get out in transition. A very talented player who is on the rise in the in-state 2028 class.     Arguably the quickest guard on the floor for Team 7 at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo was [player_tooltip player_id='2444808' first='Sean' last='Garcia'] out of Hammond Central High School. He was one of those players who you could just tell wanted to push the pace any time he could. He is more of an attacking guard, but he showed that he could knock down the pull-up three as well.     There is a strong case to be made that [player_tooltip player_id='2538870' first='Don' last='Bowling III'] was the top prospect in the gym at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo on Sunday. The small forward out of Anderson High School was his typical self on the floor, creating shots at a high level. He did most of his scoring with the ball in his hands, looking to score in ISO situations and making tough shots while doing so. Such a unique player who finds all sorts of ways to score.     There were a few guards who competed at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo who you could tell were true floor generals, and one of those players was [player_tooltip player_id='2137241' first='Brendan' last='Grindstaff'] out of West Central High School. While he is on the shorter side at 5'10", Grindstaff has a good feel with the ball in his hands in the backcourt. He is a true facilitator and often found open guys on the offensive end of the floor. He knows how to get his teammates involved.     Rounding out Team 7 at the Prep Hoops Indiana Expo may be the most intriguing prospect in the 2027 Indiana class. [player_tooltip player_id='2882251' first='Dominic' last='Mulenga'] is a 6'4" forward who has elite athleticism and can make all sorts of plays above the rim. He is a very explosive player who has a high motor and a super physical style of play. He is transferring to Mt. Vernon High School from Fishers, where he will get more of an opportunity to showcase what he can do on the floor.
