# | Name | HT | POS | Class | HS |
23 | Reece Thomson | 6’0 | PF | 2019 | Franlkin Community |
13 | Cory Richards | 6’2 | SG | 2019 | Franlkin Community |
11 | Brennan Neal | 6’3 | SG | 2019 | Whiteland |
32 | Avery Paddock | 6’3 | SG | 2019 | Alexandria |
15 | Peyton Meadors | 6’3 | SF | 2019 | Mt. Vernon-Fortville |
30 | Carson Whitehead | 6’2 | PG | 2019 | Columbus East |
41 | Nolan Smith | 6’5 | C | 2019 | Franlkin Community |
22 | Chaz Hinds | 6’6 | PF | 2019 | Southport |
Strengths: The strength of this group is their scoring ability. Paddock and Neal are two of the more under-the-radar scoring threats in the 2019 class. Both can put up buckets and will the backbone of the scoring for this team. Hinds could be a big threat in the post as well.
Why College Programs Should Watch: Small school programs wanting to get a head start on the 2019 class could find some nice pieces to start recruiting early. Neal and Paddock has some upside and Hinds, if he grows, could be in line as well. Thomson, Richards, and Meadors are also guys worth taking an early look at.
Player To Watch: Brennan Neal (Whiteland) – More and more people are starting to pay attention and with that, they will find out that Brennan can score in a multitude of ways. He’s got good size at 6’3 and a frame that is made to slash through the lane. Look for him to put up some big numbers this spring and summer.
Where To Find Them: With this group being an Indiana Elite team, they will end up playing most of their games here in Indianapolis and around the Midwest.
