Breakdown: The group of Small Forwards for the class of 2023 is a solid one but with some potential movement for positions between the 2/3/4 spots, there could be some ups and downs in the future. At the top and pretty locked in to the Small Forward position, you have Jalen Hooks Jalen Hooks 6'6" | SF Warren Central | 2023 State #282 Nation IN . Our top player overall and the highest level prospect at the moment. But just behind him, Jermaine Coleman Jermaine Coleman 6'7" | SF Park Tudor | 2023 State IN has come on in the last year. Where things get interesting is with the emergence of Sam Orme Sam Orme 6'9" | SF Carmel | 2023 State #196 Nation IN and JaQualon Roberts JaQualon Roberts 6'8" | PF Bloomington North | 2023 State IN , two guys that could end up more Power Forwards once we evaluate this Spring. The depth here is crazy good and we still have a ton of high-potential prospects. Really like to see guys like Jordan Green Jordan Green 6'4" | PF Fort Wayne North Side | 2023 State IN , Jared Bonds Jared Bonds 6'5" | PF Carmel | 2023 State IN , and Dareon Thornton Dareon Thornton 6'4" | SF Mishawaka Marian | 2023 State IN to get a look at the high-end of their game.
