Breakdown: The class of 2021 is pretty stacked and the top end of the shooting guard pile is pretty great. Butler cleaned up in-state landing two guys in Pierce Thomas Pierce Thomas 6'5" | SG Brownsburg | 2021 State #153 Nation IN and Jayden Taylor Jayden Taylor 6'4" | SG Perry Meridian | 2021 State #224 Nation IN , our #2 and #3 at the position. They are led by South Bend Riley’s Blake Wesley Blake Wesley 6'5" | SG South Bend Riley | 2021 State #95 Nation IN . Just past that top tier you have some real size and talent with Michael Eley Michael Eley 6'4" | SG Elevation Prep | 2021 State IN , Jake Heidbreder Jake Heidbreder 6'3" | SG Floyd Central | 2021 State IN , and Connor Hickman Connor Hickman 6'2" | SG Bloomington South | 2021 State IN . The middle of this group is the part that should really make waves in college because of their upside. We are thinking of guys like Andrew Bennett Andrew Bennett 6'2" | SG Shenandoah | 2021 State IN , Zane Burke Zane Burke 6'2" | SG Blackhawk Christian | 2021 State IN , Tate Ivanyo Tate Ivanyo 6'4" | SG Morgan Township | 2021 State IN , Ty Smith Ty Smith 6'1" | SG Crown Point | 2021 State IN , and Brody Whitaker Brody Whitaker 6'2" | SG Greencastle | 2021 State IN . Keep an eye on these names through the high school season as potential breakouts: Ethan Osowski Ethan Osowski 6'3" | SG Laporte | 2021 State IN , Drake Moore Drake Moore 6'2" | SG Morristown | 2021 State IN , and Kaleb Edwards Kaleb Edwards 6'2" | SG Guerin Catholic | 2021 State IN .
